Looks like a Gullwing crossed with a Lambo. I don’t think they should be modernizing such an iconic car-arguably Mercedes most iconic car. I find all of these old car meets new looks to be a bit distasteful.

I’m stoked for when our first ones come in. We have 3 already sold, should be here in march. One guy put down a deposit and said he’d buy before there were any “real” pictures of it or any kind of set price tag. Gotta love living rich.
I’m gonna reserve judgment on the looks until I see it in person. I hated the SLR until I actually experience it in the flesh.

i actually like it… 300sl was the most beautiful benz imo and recapturing it for 21st century looks alright.
sls \> lf-a in terms of new supercars but if i had the money i dont think id buy one anyway… id buy a rusty s13 chyeaaa!

i like it , it looks like a gullwing of the past but has that badass 560sec look with the bug grill with the badge. i love it.
