The black-and-white prototype appears over the gentle rise in the wide main straight and spears past us, pursued by the deeply penetrating bark of its V8 engine. As it accelerates past, the front end lifts ever so slightly under the strain of power being delivered to the rear wheels. The car has a low set and an unmistakably cab-back profile. From our vantage point on the pit wall, it's curvy but lean and distinctly retro. 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG First Drive Replies to this message: rangner (Aug 13, 2009 8:59 pm)

Replying to: KarenS (Jul 15, 2009 10:03 am) Nice article, but 50's gullwings and their roadster counterparts sell for much more than 200k at auction--try 400 to $600k.

1.38 G? Is he serious about that? wtf kind of tires is this car wearing for 1.38 g? And is that peak lateral G or average lateral G over a skidpad?
