you guys keep saying merc is for older guy, like at younger age anyone can afford exotics. yeah if they can, SLS wouldnt be their first choice for obvious reasons. Lambos have been famous for being flashy, hence they get more attention amongst younger people.

on a side note, R8s are not really fast cars for their price.

saw this at costco surrey today. it was parked far away from other cars this time. damn nice.

Mugen EvOlutioN 06-13-2010 08:39 PM

wow so exotics price has dropped?

gallardo / lp560 around $200 + bench mark

while murci / lp640 + is $300 + now?


that really makes CGT/SLR really really expensive eh

buy one you buy the other two

$242,750 with everything.... Designo White, C-Brakes, Suspension, Carbon everything, B&O Stereo etc etc.

With Lux tax still under $280k. Not sure where you getting 300k from. Dad was toying with the idea of a 2dr Benz so I was doing research for him.

I'm sure these cars will have a premium slapped on the msrp so it could be nearing $300,000 which imo is way too much for this car.

boostfever 06-14-2010 09:39 AM

it's just the market. the R8 4.2 was going for +200K when it came out, and it was still slower than a 100K Carrera S or Carrera 4S.

Gumby 06-14-2010 11:00 AM

See, now here is a car that would be ruined if it was forced to wear a front license plate. :)

Most Audi's are overpriced when it comes to performance, prefect example is the A5/S5. You're really paying for the styling, overall quality and exclusivity.

pretty much ^

if it comes down strictly to speed you can just pick up a r35 gtr, supra, ford gt, etc and put 50k+ or so in them and make them veyron killers... and end up paying a lot less compared to most exotics.

There was a silver one parked near my house. Really nice car!

ae101 07-04-2010 05:22 AM

i demand the owners of these SLS's to come & park anywhere in richmond (preferably aberdeen) & see how they get the hell out of there little SLS's

on a side note i see a lot of R8s these days with N on the back & driven by young ppl, especially in front of DNA net bar

umpadupa 07-14-2010 12:50 PM

^ lol that always chokes me up.. i want an r8.. i wanna c them do their class 5 test in the r8 =D

Harvey Specter 07-14-2010 01:10 PM

My cousins friend is 18, works at Mc D's and his parents just got him a brand new white R8. I wonder if it's the same car been spotted with the N.

Why would they have trouble getting out of an SLS?


If the doors are hinged similar to, or better than a car from 1982, i don't think they'll have any issues.

threezero 07-14-2010 02:24 PM

^ that actually seems like it would be easier to get in and out of in tight spaces than regular door hinges

shenmecar 07-14-2010 06:38 PM

I saw a black one going up to Cypress on Sunday.
