2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG coupe
2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG coupe
 The SLS AMG is far more surly, scrappy, and downright ballsy than we ever expected from a Mercedes.I had the opportunity to drive the SLS AMG gullwing coupe the day after I drove the SLS AMG roadster, and the moment I pulled out of the magazine office's parking lot, I knew I preferred the coupe. I appreciate its clearer sense of purpose, not to mention its rigidity, and I like its deliberate nod to the 1950s 300SL Gullwing, one of the most iconic Mercedes-Benz models of all time. And it is the gullwing doors that never fail to wow people. People notice the car, certainly; they know it's something important and substantial and desirable, even if they don't immediately realize it's a Mercedes-Benz. And then when you open those gullwing doors? People go berserk. I let a few random folks I met sit in the driver's seat, and it was clearly the highlight of their week. If not their year.

Yeah, it's one of the most iconic of all the retro car designs I can think of.
