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.

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.

Hood opens like that (vertical) in most Mercedes if you press a catch on the hinge/hydraulic ram, makes for easy access to rear of engine during service.
@Wojciech9406 жыл бұрын
I always thought this car is considered exotic. For me, it's cheaper version of SLR, but it's still a car that is Mercedes Benz: comfort-wise, performance-wise and as good looking and elegant as every car (of this brand) should be.

Doug is the best reviewer on youtube, imho. The honest reactions of astonishment and amazement while driving sets him apart from other reviewers who seem a lot less expressive, and it gives people watching a better idea of what it feels like to drive these cars.

In South Florida there was an elder lady around 2016 who was letting only me park and drive her 2014 silver SLS gull-wing. It’s a beast. You come in your pants when you turn it on. It kicks your heart into another different rhythm. It has very few competitors on the road.

The thing I like about this car is that I was a kid when it came out and my grandpa was a kid when the 300 SL came out (that’s the car this one is based off of) we like both of them and Mercedes always has a special place in our harts 👍 I still need one, I’ve wanted one since I first saw it on top gear

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.
