2011 Mercedes Benz SLS AMG
Mercedes has finally announced its next supercar, which will reach showrooms in 2010. The new ultimate sports machine, the SLS AMG, is a modern-day take on the classic Gullwing of the 1950s. With the SLS, AMG for the first time ever is responsible for the development of an entire vehicle, and the new Gullwing is an ambitious, ground-up effort. The car uses an aluminum body draped over an aluminum spaceframe chassis, which is a first for Mercedes-Benz. The extensive use of lightweight metal helps it reach a target curb weight of 3571 pounds.
