    AMG is the performance group within Mercedes that produces their high performance models. Similar to what SRT used to be for Chrysler before they spun it off to it’s own division.

Actually it is an AMG hence the badge on the rear end. If you look at the Mercedes website it is listed under AMG’s. It’s full name is SLS AMG.

For $200K, it had better be nice!

I think Ovie has one of these thats more customized – or something similar at least. Also – is this the car where the doors flip up to open. I could Google all of this I guess, but then what are you guys going to do on a Friday

  Yup – that’s it with the winged doors. While Ovie might have this car as well, he was driving an SL65 AMG in that ESPN (?) article from a while back. Those are different models. (AMG simply means that they belong to the “performance series” of Mercedes.)

    The SLS was inspired by this, the 300SL from the 60’s. http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/autopia/images/2009/03/12/mercedes_300_sl_gullwing.jpg

Yep, looks very pretty but I can assure you that it rides as hard as nails, particularly on DC’s streets. The suspension is set up for the track and has no place on the city’s unforgiving streets. Whoever parked it there is probably visiting a chiropractor!
