Mercedes SLS AMG in Gran Turismo 5 contest - drive the SLS for real [video]

100 people will win

While most of us will never drive the Mercedes SLS AMG, 100 lucky contestants will get a chance to say "Been there, done that."

As part of the SLS AMG Rare Experiences campaign, the company will setup a Gran Turismo 5 racing experience at Mercedes-Benz World in the UK. The people who post the 100 fastest laps times will get to "drive, drift and slide the SLS AMG around the Mercedes-Benz World track (after a training session with a professional driver, of course)."

The GT5 event is part of the larger Rare Experiences campaign, which will also offer an all-expenses paid tour of the AMG factory and a chance to drive the SLS AMG around the Top Gear test track. Clues will be released on the SLS' Facebook and Twitter page, so check them out for additional information.

Ferrari could learn a thing or twelve here when it comes to simulating the driving sensation behind their Formula One race cars , in place of a phony roller coaster ride .

Forget now these gaming simulations, I want to talk about the engine, why AMG don't fit their new 5.5 TT engine in the SLS? It's only 10 hp less and has a lot more torque than the 63 so the SLS will be a lot faster

The gearbox would blow up, cause the gearbox can barely handle the torque from the 6.2L V8 already

Why? The SLS was developed solely by AMG, to be a super sports car to compete with the 458 and the MP4-12C. The regular SL is more of a cruiser with a big engine for overtaking and/or sliding around on an airfield.
