[W126 Coupe] Video of Mercedes SLS AMG Gullwing

[shinzbox at aol.com]

 I was fortunate to be in Laguna Seca to attend the AMG Driving Academy this past weekend. 
I got to drive the SLS in anger, not just cruise like Dan Neil. It was built for aggressive driving.
It accelerates, corners, handles all very balanced and hard to make a mistake in. 
For a big wide car, it is very nimble and easy to toss around.
The unusual (and not good looking) long hood and short deck design was the result of engineering a rear weight bias resulting in better handling.
The production car will have a strap so closing the door will be easier.
