Trying to look classy and modern, both at the same time can be tricky, especially for a car. But the blokes at Mercedes seem to have got the formula just right. The SLS AMG is just that. Classy, modern, sleek, handsome and what not. Its the perfect car to take for your red carpet event. That said its very exclusive and has got the charm of the legendary 300SL. This was a completely in house development by AMG. And those three special letters hint that this baby has some very serious muscle under the hood. 6.2 litres, 8 cylinders in a v configuration, and all that resulting in a power output of a humongous 571 PS of max power and tarmac wrenching 650 NM of torque. Theses figures are enough to propel it to 62mp/h in 3.8 seconds, which is faster than you can read this sentence. It will go on to attaining a top speed of 197 mp/h, doing all this in utmost style and fashion. And did I mention those gorgeous doors?
