Waiting for the Black Series variant...

The proportion is somewhat awkward with that super long bonnet. Not enough imagination with all that 911 and F type resemblance.

Lalit@autocouture · 09-10-2014, 11:10 AM

I prefer the SLS..but that interior

Niko1414 · 09-11-2014, 05:48 AM

Lame car end of story.

///M3THOD · 09-11-2014, 08:20 AM

This will be my next car.

shahano · 09-11-2014, 10:24 AM

Love ittt. They said 40% cheaper than the SLS was. Anybody knows what was the price of the SLS?

Average msrp of the SLS GT (2013 model) was circa 216k-- the vert would bump up slightly but you could some heavier optioned cars hitting the 230k plus sticker mark.

RPiM5 · 09-11-2014, 01:24 PM

I really like the interior, but the engine is what excites/worries me the most. Those things are going to be highly tunable. Soon we'll be seeing F82 M4's being destroyed by 600hp Mercedes 4.0L Twin Turbo V8's in C63 AMG's.

Exterior is horrible

Interior too much going on.

Yup, excited/nervous myself. I REALLY want a C63 AMG wagon (which I doubt we will get) but would take the Sedan over an M3 any day. Then, wife can get the M6 that's arriving to replace the 550i.

Probably not going to do better in a race either.

thank you for this very nice video which regained my confidence again in M5!!
I know you must be thinking "Whaaaat?" there's no M5 in there, just Ferrari Berlinetta, Porsche 911 Turbo and SLS AMG black series,,,, but that Ferrari is RWD and see what it does and the reviewers didn't take any offense in being rolled in initially by the 911 Turbo and raved about how it picked up after 100 mph... For me in real life M5 still won't win for me because I am never above 100!! But at least I know what type of beast we have regardless of the RWD "Limitation"!!

they should have a rolling race, the results would be very different.
