Mercedes 2010 SLS AMG

The up and coming Mercedes SLS AMG is one cool car.  There are a lot of people that are not sure about the looks and it’s either love it or hate it.  I think they do a fine job of respecting the past (300 SL) as well as paying homage to the present and future.

The car is reportedly to have a 6.3 liter AMG v8 cranking out 563 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels.  They estimate it will hit 60 mph in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 197 mph.  Not too shabby, but I’m sure it’s outside my price range.  For now you can saddle up at Mercedes’ website and play around with the options.

The one thing that I love is the gull-wing doors and it makes me just chuckle to think about it literally flying down the Nurburgring setting new records.  I can just hear all the fanboys clamoring about how it’s times aren’t kosher because it is using wings to increase it’s speed and to cut corners.  Anyways, follow the jump to see what a SLS would look like flying through the Nurburgring at light speed (making a ZR1 look stationary to boot).
