The Mercedes Sport Light Super. A kind of Gorilla wearing a tie and the successor to both the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing. Already in love? We are!
This cutie (just as the neighbor's Dobermann is named Fluffy) is not just another pretty face in the Mercedes lineup. This is the first AMG designed and built outside the Mercedes factory and uses remarkably few of the components found in other models with a star on the nose. When it comes to balance, controllability and stability, there has never been a more athletic AMG than this one. The SLS has impressive acceleration from 0 to 100 mph in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 320 mph.
With the engine tucked deep behind the front axle and the driver practically above the rear wheels, it feels like you're starring in your own Gladiator epic, like Russell Crowe on his chariot. But be warned, this car is not going to hold your hand if you push the limit. If you go wrong, you have only yourself to blame - the master engineers in Germany have executed their craftsmanship to perfection.
Ours? She's sleek, she's brutal, she's sexy, she's Obsidian Black on the outside and black anthracite on the inside. German delivered and refined in Italy. There always stayed with the same owner and now recently with us in the showroom in the Netherlands. She has full service history.
Swing open the distinctive wing door, get behind the wheel, press the start button and be swept away by the powerful sound and refined performance that only a true AMG can offer. Will we see you soon?
"A cockpit, an engine, two wings. Is it still a car?"
