Mid-engine does not always mean behind the seats. The engine in the SLS is between the front and rear axles but is still in front of the cabin.

I'm sure they mean front-mid engined. You do, right WCF?
Enough with these teasers Merc, they're getting annoying.
And also, how much would it cost, really, to give it a couple of unique aircon/audio control knobs? The dials do look brilliant though!

It actually says front mid-engined, which just means the engine will still be front mounted, but sit completely behind the front axle.

Wow that interior looks good & the dials look superb but please show more of the exterior since they got the shape of the 1955 300 slr. Now I am eagerly waiting for this car to be released.

The interior looks lovely, apart from that CD player. The leather trim, the carbon fibre and aluminium slashes look fabulous, but the CD headunit looks tacky and cheap. Get rid of it Mercedes. This car has to be as perfectly sculpted as the original 300 SL Gullwing. Make a bespoke unit for the SLS

Looks amazingly similar to the old slk / crossfire. This thing better have a nuclear engine to make up for that interior.

What are you talking about?? the interior is beautiful, as well as very different from the SLK/Crossfire.
Try Google Images in case you've never seen the interior of any of those 2 cars before

it's supposed to go against the F430 and the 911 turbo , the price is ok.

Enough with the -ishs! The car is beginning to turn out cool....-ish. ;-)

The only thing i like about it are the doors. The interior is quite disappointing and boring to me, just like any other Mercedes. I wouldn?t pay that money for this (if i had it).. Prefer a TVR or whatever.

beautiful interior. Everything u need, and maybe a few things u don't. Simple and attractive!

That audio unit looks like it's been lifted out of the E-Class--it's the exact same. I wish they would've kept the interior more in line with the initial sketches. This is a bit too bland for my tastes and for this price point. Disappointing.
The exterior looks absolutely gorgeous however and I'm sure this thing is going to perform with the best of em.

My opinion is that this car will never ever be a replacement of the SLR.
It is more like a renew of an old design of mercedes.
History lesson the old car which had the same door was one of the most uncomfortable and difficult to get in/out in mercedes history.
(THIS DOOR DESIGN IS STUPID & FOR SHOWING OFF)

maybe the SLS Black Series will be the SLR replacement. they have the know-how , they have the tech , they could put two turbos on this engine and go nuts. this car is a lot lighter than the SLR, it has a lot of potential.

Of cource - the rest of the car I can't tell till I see it & test drive it in real life.
Or just see it at the Showroom. :-)

M power, I have to comment on your post. I have gotten in the SLR, I am 6ft 2 and weigh about 235lbs and it was like being in a coffin, the SLR was not comfortable at all unless you had the door window open, Also got into an SLR convert and with the top up it was not easy. The SLR is NOT a friendly daily driver, not you would 500K and drive it daily, but you would want to know that you could with comfort.This car will be beautiful in silver/back combo
