Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG
Puntiki: This car rocks. It is faster than the Bentley GT, it is convertible, and it looks brilliant. Handling is not as good as the Bentley or BMW M5, but who cares when you have 604HP? Yes 604 HP. The mighty McLaren F1 has 627 HP, and although this car is a lot heavier, it is impressive none the less. I'd have one of these over the F360 any day.
Pablo: Yup. this is an outstanding car. I would love to take this for a blat around a race track, and I think I would rather own one of these than the SLR McLaren of a year or so back. Clearly a step above anything BMW or Bentley currently make.

This is one impressive feat of european engineering... But does it break down as much as all the rest?
Love the power in this also, can also out do an aston martin DB9 i believe, putting it in the dust but would still prefer the DB9
I agree with you cathy.
