This isn't Darth Vader's convertible. It's the 702hp Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster tweaked by German tuners VATH. We say tweaked, we mean heavily modified. If the standard £176,925 571hp SLS AMG drop-top isn't quite enough for you, you're in luck here.
First Drive: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster (2011 onwards)

try something new mercedes, this car is very similar to last 1000 supercars you have built. A bit like porsche who keep building the same thing apart from a bit off bling!!! Porsche is my fvourite car maker but getting a bit tired now. And i speak as an owner not just an onlooker!!

All the daydreamers out there are just that, daydreamers.
Not only can they not find somewhere to use this stupid amount of power, they would not have the basic skills to handle it either.
Footballers with razor-sharp, athletically trained reflexes regularly bin and ditch these beasts, and while your Division One Div can just go out and buy another one, us daydreamers can only dream of having that amount of money in total.
So what IS the chance of Mr. (and it IS normally a Mister) Normal with the Pub three times a week, a propensity to immobility with home movies and consuming endless amounts of chips have ?.
Not much I would say, but that doesn't stop me from daydreaming.
Me ?. I would not drive it, I would just sit there and pose.
Peace.

I have just had a good look at it style-wise and I notice that in the aerodynamics/style war German logistics won.
It COULD have had E Type or Ferrari feline/feminine rear wheel haunches but that would have interrupted the airflow, reduced performance by about 0.0000000000000000001 % and THAT would have wrecked the whole point of having a 702 (AND 2 !) HP engine pulling a two door pram's mass.
I feel in good moaning form tonight and thanks for your support in my first post
Peace.

I don't think the word STUPID in large letters and bold type would adequately describe motors like this.
Buy a Mondeo !.
Peace.
