Mercedes SLS AMG in Depth with Video

The traditional coupe roaster has a long bonnet, a very low profile, short overhangs and a small boot. Only two people can sit in it. The new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG fits this definition and then some. Already confirmed as a Frankfurt debutant the SLS you see here stars in its own video show where its makers showcase some of its abilities on a track and on the road.

A main attraction is the sound emanating from the shiny twin trapezoidal tailpipes, urged on by the naturally aspirated 6.3-litre AMG V8. You can hear a lot of the sound if you put up the volume as it accelerates into the straight or when cornering. The eardrums will forever be thankful. Forgive some of the background music; this is a promotional video after all not a hooligan road test.

Trapped inside the 8 cylinders is 420kW (571hp) that is accessed by the driver through the 7-speed double clutch gearbox and the round 3-stage ESP knob which changes the suspension's characteristics from everyday comfort to sharp and sporty.

The SLS will start selling before the end of the year and compete with the likes of McLaren MP4-12C, the Ferrari 458 Italia and the Lamborghini Gallardo.

2009 Mercedes-Benz GLK Caught During The Filming Of The Sex & The City Movie!

Oh boy, I hope none of my ex-girlfriends are reading this; I just voluntarily wasted five minutes of my life watching scenes from the filming of the 'Sex & The City - The Movie'. But alas; it was for a good cause as I was tipped from a female friend of mine (it would be strange if it were a man…) that the upcoming Mercedes-Benz GLK can be seen in the beginning of the clip. Apparently, the GLK is making a promotional appearance in the film, though to be honest, that could be a good enough reason for many people not to buy it… From what we’ve heard, the Mercedes’ compact SUV will make it’s public debut at the 2008 Detroit Show in January.

Thanks for the tip C!
