Plenty of great SLS exhaust sounds and a quick demo of AMG Race Start

120 kph = 74.5 mph

If your going to be in Germany for a European delivery or just vacation between now and October 16th be sure to check out the SLS AMG on the roof of the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Untertuerkheim. I visited the museum during my Master Guild trip last year and I highly recommend it.

Mercedes just posted an updated Dealer Ordering Guide for the SLS. All of this information is preliminary and can change as we go forward. It is hard to believe that this dream car is about to become a reality!
