shot in the paddock at the Formula 1 races in Indy in September

i think it looks too small... too much of a roadster like an SLK
The SL is meant to be a big cruiser convertible, that also has lots of power.
All Benz cars are starting to look the same again :(

Well anyway I think AMG did a greate job on that SL. Although it's around 150k US$. They pull out 476 hp out of the V8 with supercharger.

nsx1164, where did you get the photo? Are there any other photos of F1 Pace and Safety cars (and medical cars)? I need them for reference for my modelling projects...

That thing is Sex in Silver!

Actually, starting this fall, SL55's will all come equipped with 500hp. You can find out about this, and much more at http://www.jes-mercedes.de/indexie.htm

new pace cars are SL55 AMG's, and were CL55's before that. Medical cars are E55 AMG estates.
