If the SLR wasn't as compromised and as much of a stand-out flop as it was. Well, it wouldn't be a supercar. The car will undoubtedly remain an icon with a touch of forgettable-ness. Especially if the SLS comes out as good as many hope it will. Personally, I think that scenario is highly probable.

The original SLR Concept Car was better looking unfortunately they had to re-engineer and redesign the rear of the car to cope with the aerodynamics.

I think the SLR was more than the sum of it's parts unfortunately it was completely outclassed by the Enzo and Carerra GT that it re-focused on being the image maker for Mercedes-Benz and the mcLaren F1 team which they had become champions by the launch in 2003 presented by Kimi I think, so the car was a good congratulationary present.

I wonder who will launch the SLS @ Frankfurt - Mika , Lewis or Jenson - rumours point to Jenson and a more prominent partnership of Brawn-Mercedes.

Still a Unicorn, hasn't aged a bit in my eyes.

^^^One of the best looking Mercedes-Benz of all times.

Rumour is Sir Stirling Moss will have the honours of unveiling the SLS along with the AMG top brass. I think it is appropriate as it fits the retro image of the SLS. Also, AMG wants to let it be known the SLS is "their" car.

Jenson is too "new" as top athlete and would be an ineffective choice as he doesn't have the same star status as Mike, Sterling Moss or Mercedes's main choice -- Lewis Hamilton. Yes, Mclaren and Mercedes' relationship is still strong, here you have a photo of what Hamilton got to do roughly a week ago. So stop spreading your ungrounded Mercedes-loves-Brawn-and-Button rumours.



Further more I'll take this opportunity to vent my annoyance over your fascist and cynical instructions that BMW have given you. Every single posts published outside the BMW section have been distasteful and fully biased negative opinions on BMW competitors. Seriously, BMW CM need to be more inventive ways of using social media than trying to shed the brand in a brighter light by repetitively throwing childish remarks on an internet forum. So please, it you don't have anything else but negativity to add in non-BMW sections, then please refrain from posting.

^^ Give me a break Luw. Don't read his posts outside of the BMW section if you don't like his tone. There are MB boys who behave in the exact same way outside of the MB forum, but we have to live with that, since it will always be this way. 'Fascist instructions'? noooo.

Now, lets get back to the SLS. I think even visually it will blow the SLR awy. SRL is getting a bit old I would say. Time for a sporty technology change

wow? what's with all these SLR failure posts all of a sudden? I for one loved it and still thinks its the most stunning MB ever made.

Come on Klier, this is a car forum, let's leave Sri Lanka outta this.
