    Hard to say for certain but looking at the colours on the visualiser it could be AMG Imola grey.

    Yesterday I had an SLS for over 40 Minutes ahead and next to me. The car looks truly stunning in flesh. My wife told me that she wants one (which is on one hand side very cool ).

    The sound is bestial and close to the SLR tone we heard before. Very promising so far!

    Rossi, I knew when I was writing this that this comment will come

    Actually I passed him.... at the road work. And yes - on the straight line I didnt had a chance with my 535d.

    cheers!

    Saw my first SLS live today. Dark red metallic, quite impressive, but there's something about the car that looks a little bit strange. Can't really tell you what it is, but something is wrong.

    Car seems quick, but he didn't want to play. What a shame, such a coward. I was driving a Panamera Turbo, would have been a nice experience. Smiley

     It is the long hood and short backend that makes it look odd. Even after spending several hours with the car, I could never warm up to it. BTW, if you think it looks strange from the outside, you should see what it is like from the driver seat. it almost feels like you need binoculars to see past the front end.

    I can't wait for it to get here. I totally hated the design at first, but the more I see it, the more I like! They just need to throw in the V12 bi-turbo and I would buy one in a heartbeat! A car like this, I don't care about the handling.

    Mike,

    You have to get one, it's the law

    The reviews are all extremely positive thus far. I'm number three on my dealer's list and they are getting four cars next year.

     Don't fool yourself Mike, you know you're getting this car sooner or later.

    PS: where are the pics of the V12?!
