We’ll admit it, we’re a little bit obsessed with the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, but look at this car! It’s incredible.  The folks over at Inside Line recently posted some awesome shots (and a great article) of the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG driving on ice-covered roads.  This hit a soft spot for us, since our Mercedes-Benz dealers in New Jersey have been dealing with the harsh winter weather elements for several weeks now.  Driving on ice is definitely unsafe, and we wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who isn’t a professional driver.  But, boy does the winter white background made this car look sleek!

Just off the press! Mercedes-Benz is reportedly working on rolling out different classes of trucks that are EEV (Enhanced Environmentally Friendly Vehicles).  Rumored to be issued as EEV vehicles are the Actros, Axor and Atego.  Read more about the Mercedes-Benz Blue Tec EEV trucks here.

On a different note, we had an awesome time at the Philly Auto Show this week! Naturally, the Mercedes-Benz section was the hottest one there! We especially liked the look of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG with it’s fine Gullwing doors, and slick red interior. Check back next week for some amazing pictures and videos from the event!

News of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is everywhere, and we can understand why! This car is a beauty! As if the gullwing doors weren’t enough of a draw, the sleek body and powerful speed officially make this car one we can’t wait to cruise around town in.  The SLS AMG is set to hit Europe in mid 2010 before making it’s way here to the U.S. some time in 2011.  In preparation for it’s European arrival, the German’s have aired a TV commercial in which the SLS AMG, with great speed and accuracy, loops a tunnel.  The commercial proves that the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is an automobile for those who crave speed and style.  As the German tag line at the end of the commercial implies, the SLS AMG is more than just another car! Wunderbar!

The duct tape and cardboard has finally come off, and we can start showing you the new 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in all its Gullwing glory.You’re no doubt familiar with the mighty SLS AMG, the first automobile built entirely from scratch by Mercedes-Benz’s Affalterbach-based performance division, AMG.

In July, MotorTrend editor-at-large Arthur St. Antoine tackled the Nurburgring in a pre-production prototype of the new Gullwing supercar, powered by the AMG-built, naturally aspirated, DOHC, 6208cc V-8. Among some 120 changes to the engine for SLS duty include forged pistons, modded cams, a new exhaust system, and, perhaps most important, a new dry sump system that helps lower the car’s center of gravity, eliminating the need for an oil pan. Power is a thundering 571 hp at 6800 rpm (torque checks in at 479 pound-feet at 4750 rpm).
