My girlfriends Dad owns one. He collects Mercades cars. He just got one and all it does is sit in his 9 car garage, collecting dust. It literally only had 2,300 miles on it when I drove it a few weeks ago. I eventually persuaded my girlfriends Dad to let me drive it. It was a crazy experience but the hood was so damn long, seemed longer in person lol. It was such a smooth car but I didn't take it over 90 because I didn't want to be in debt 190,000 dollars lol. I go over to the house every now and then just to sit in it, and bask in its glory. Amazing car. Same coloration as the one in this video. I giggled like a school girl driving it, and had like 12 videos of the car on my snapchat story lol

Mike_TheLegend it is nice when working on the car. The hood basically never needs to come off, even if the engine needs to be pulled. Several people on Mercedes forms have said that it was so they could install the engine in the factory with the hood already on, but that never made any sense to me.

The main reason is that you're not hitting your head on the classic Mercedes grill. By older Mercedes models is the grill attached to the hood, so when you put the hood to the almost 90 degree service angle, you won't scratch your head at the grill while your working at the engine.

Doug you were right about the SLR, but they are starting to shoot up in value. The SLR is my favorite Mercedes exotic, because it was so ahead of its time. Also, the SLR design is cooler and that engine from the SLR is a beast. Lastly, the number of SLR's built is quite limited even compared to the SLS, which will mean that they will ultimately shoot up in value as well.

Liam Quiroga SLS and GTS aren't really comparable. The SLS was in the Ferrari 458 range. The GTS is a 911 rival, mean to be sold in more volume. Two different leagues of car. Yes, they're almost identical in performance, but the SLS is a 6 year old car of the entry level supercar league, while the GTS is a new car of the higher end sports car league. The GTS may have replaced the SLS, but it's not a true successor. It all comes down to what someone is looking for in a car.

Although the GT S is cheaper and similar performance, the SLS will hold its value and likely appreciate. And guaranteed it turns more heads than the GT S. You take the SLS if you have the money. Now the tougher question is SLS or GT R? I think the GT R will be a game changer.

*****​​​ nah, amg gt r has better looks, better interior, better performance, great sound yet isn't a gas guzzler like the sls, not to mention it's no where near as expensive as a sls bs. So it's better in almost every way despite NOT being designed as a replacement to the sls bs. That said you can't go wrong with either. ;)

This is a VERY LOW optioned SLS. In fact, other than the "free option" split spoke wheels, it has no options. The nicely optioned ones have carbon fiber trimmed interiors(in response to his cheap interior comment). For 2011, if you added all the options, it brings the sticker up by an additional $50k+. Ceramic brakes($13k), Bang & Olufsen stereo($6500), full carbon fiber interior($9k), carbon fiber engine compartment($6k), alubeam silver paint ($12k), etc. And later model years had even more option choices. Too bad he couldn't get a hold of a better optioned one versus this bare bones example.

I have a surprisingly fast Honda, very light (half the body is carbon fiber), with a racing motor I imported from Japan in it. I once found myself at a red light in Rancho Santa Fe, CA, next to a guy that looked at least 85-90, in an SLS, just like the silver one here. My top was down, so I looked over at the guy before the light changed and said, "Well? How about it?" He seemed to ignore me. The light changed, and I totally put the hammer down (Now, for reference, I turn 0-60 in under 5 sec, routinely). I jumped out about 3 feet in front of the old guy, which I truly hope surprised and impressed him, but then he calmly pressed his right foot down. I've got smoke and rubber flying under and off my car, major sturm und drang, and this guy just sprints away from me. Absolutely no muss, no fuss; And I have never seen a passenger car go that fast in my life. Without a doubt the fastest car I've ever shared a public roadway with. If you're bucks up and you want a fast, street legal MONSTER of a refined passenger motorcar--then, pony up the 185. You'll never regret it.
