New Mercedes SLS 63 AMG Saftey Car For 2010

I also don't like the front of the car. But the interior is wicked! And driving it must feel great too. Has anyone here had the chance to test-drive it ?

The unique vehicle concept is a key factor in ensuring outstanding driving
dynamics: the aluminium spaceframe body keeps the vehicle weight down to 1620 kilograms (DIN kerb weight).

My I repeat it?

"keeps the vehicle weight down to 1620 kilograms"



Cant they be more stupid?

My "old" Audi A3 with its "old" steel frame and its "old" 1.8T engine weights 1200Kg. So 4 more cylinders and a light aluminium spaceframe adds "only" 400Kg

Yes. I agree, modern car weight standards are ridiculous. Especially with 'premium' brands. Mazda6 mk2 for example 4.7 meters long, 2.5L engine, 5 comfortable heated electric seats with leather, decent bose stereo, big boot and everything - about 1,300kg. The ultra-modern super efficient 2 seater supercar Porsche 918 Spyder - 'only' 1,490kg.
