What is the point of this car? Especially when you can get Ferraris and Lambos under its price.

Let's say you actually drive your supercar, instead of just admiring it in the garage. You buy the Benz.

That car looks sick, and I bet it gets out of its own way. And while I wouldn't want to pay the maintenance or repair bills for the Krautmobile, it'd still be a lot easier to live with than something from Italy.

Where can I get a Ferrari or Lamborghini with 661 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque?

Dear God.... I've finally found a 4100 lb car that I would kill / cut off body parts / sell family members for.

Hmmm... by the looks of that car... a designer at Mercedes has been looking at the doodles of made-up supercars I used to draw on my desk when I was bored in school.

What's not to love about this car? The price is moot if you can afford this. It's exclusive, has VERY handsome lines (SL is probably the best Benz ever, IMO), and this one just screams "KICK ***"

Its that microchip they implanted in your head.

Seriously though, badass performance car. If I could afford it, I'd own one.
