It looks awesome but one thing I don't get is how come this supercar is cheaper and less powerful than the SL65 Black Series?

Nice car, but I think Pingu posted this a couple of months ago!

That (if produced) is the hottest thing MB has made in nearly 60 years - since the last "GullWing" IMHO. It is absolutely beautiful

The sl65 black is too expensive and too powerful The SL65 amg is much less less expensive.

The SLS is a different car, its a classic shape reborn it doesn't need something like 670bhp

What I'm getting at is that the SLS is the replacement of the SLR which was Mercedes halo car so it would seem logical that it would be the most powerful and expensive car in the fleet.

if it is produced, MBZ will most likely make the amg version later on down the line.
