In the end, the $200,000 SLS AMG is like any other car in that I can jack it up, put jack stands underneath, yank the wheels off and have a good look at the mechanicals. The trick is getting my hands on the keys for a couple of days. As you can see above I managed to do just that.
This particular car came out of the west coast Mercedes-Benz press fleet and it's made the rounds. It has over 15,000 hard miles on the clock. More than a few celebrity posteriors have sat upon these red leather seats. One would assume it's been to the Grammys, the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars, and we're pretty certain Adam Carolla flogged it during the taping of his yet-to-be-seen response to Top Gear, a show that will air on Speed if it airs at all.
So is there anything left? Let's have a look.
