i hope they make it right.What i don't understand is the price 140,000 euros, i don't think so. Wouldn't that be a problem for the rest of the mercedes coupe/roadsters.

good question, but i guess they hope for people who would normally buy 911 Turbo, Ferrari F430, Aston Martin DB9 to see this as a MB alternative to those cars.

ok but the SL is in that league with the f430,db9,turbo,m6,and others alike, shouldn't this be a supercar,plus I recall some articles talking about the sl65 black series getting some limitations on it's engine,in order to save up extra power for the next mercedes supercar, and i guess they were talking about this one. Maybe this data isn't totally right. Don't you remember people saying the Audi R8 would cost under 100K.

hmmmmmmm I think I would rather get this then a SL65 Black Series at $300k compared to $180k man I would rather get this than a SL65 thats around $190k wow if its a true sports car dont think so but hoping it will be not just some crazy straight shoot like the SL55 or SLR then its well worth the money :).

I wonder if this will finally convince BMW's M division to get its a*** into gear and build an in-house supercar...

Great, they just released the SL65 Black, and have now made it pointless, at least knowing you can get THIS for half the price.Wouldn't buy one, though- 2 reasons: (1) I cant afford and (2) Looks too much like a R8...

How could something as elegant as a mercades be related to something as barbaric as a viper? This is either going to work out in a great way, or fail horribly. No in betweens.
