They have not confirmed prices here, they estimate it to be around 350k give or take. For now I just have my name down as the first bunch of people they will contact once this is confirmed. Only then will I need to put down a deposit. This will only be during the 1st quarter of next year.

imo matte paint is a No Go for the SLS

it`s a classy car which should not be modded or differ from the original AMG colours...
just my opinion

Factory order, its gray matte, gray-blue matte and white matte. Personally I would order it in black with the designo red and black centres seat with carbon fiber and the optional 20" forged oems.

I guess I am in the minority, but I think this car is ugly. Its inspiration, the original gull winged 300 SL is a beautiful car. This thing, aesthetically, is more of an insult than an homage. It actually makes the SLR look good, which is quite a feat. They both, however, share that phallic appeal which I guess some people are subliminally drawn to.
