Was up Mercedes head office today for a meeting & they had the new SLS up there :punk: :hyper:

 

Had a look around & took some pictures that I thought I would share! :sorcerer: (not great as I only had my iphone!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

is this the car they use as a safety car in the F1, if it is it sounds awesome, it is a tribute to sterlin moss is it not??

Undecided. I like the front, very inkeeping with the original car. But the rear....just doesn't seem to work. I am sure it looks much more flattering in person.

Very nice Paul, nice one! Milton Keynes?

The back looks like the back of an alfa GT.

No, they use the SL :cool3: looks ace doesnt it?

Nice one Paul - I do like that!!

 

Richard:sorcerer:

so it is mr vert, both stunning motors though

Yup - was up MK.

 

It does look a whole lot better in the flesh - prob not a car I would want even if I could afford one!

 

It is a great vehicle technically however! 7 speed twin clutch transaxle at the rear, engine up front with a 48/52 weight distribution front & rear connected with a carbon fibre torque tube.

 

560 odd bhp, 0-60 in 3.summink seconds. 200mph electronically limited top speed. Launch control, adjustable ESP settings. Just hope one of my customers buys one LOL!!

6.3-litre V8 engine Mr Stellaz :winkiss:

fookin gorgous

I dont like the new one. looks to flat, has straight lines with cerves???.

reminds me of the ferrari gt with a rx8 rear

LOL 15 or 20 dodgy looking characters crowded around, its like one of those awkward brothels for automotive pornography!

Looks nice actually, although its along way from the original!

Lovely bit of kit that, a nice price too no doubt.

Around £150k which is a bargain compared to the SLR that it replaces!! :w00t:

Just found spec's :)

 

Mercedes-AMG’s stunning SLS AMG E-CELL -

 

The electrically-powered SLS AMG produces 535bhp and 880 Nm of torque, meaning the gullwing stunna blasts 0 to 62mph in 4secs.

Thats the Electric prototype ;) supposedly planed for 2012.

 

The current petrol engined one does it in 3.8 :hammer:

just associated the name lol, i like the electric idea though! :)

I actually saw one on the road on Sunday heading out of Lymington (by the roundabout near the railway bridge) as I was heading in....

 

......having seen it in the flesh I have to say I'm VERY impressed!!

 

6 numbers tomorrow and I'm having one......:clap:

Still can't decide if I like it or not.

The front end looks as if they took the original 300SL and then gave it the usual 'corporate face' makeover. Not exactly pretty.

The back just looks boring.

 

This is gorgeous though.......
