If you watched auto racing in the 1960s and 70s, your eyes likely caught sight of baby blue and orange streaks roaring to victory on tracks around the world. Gulf livery has since become an iconic paint scheme for everything from the ratty street cars of wide-eyed boy racers to expensive watches and...

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is certainly enjoying an interesting run at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. It’s had its ups and downs… and right now, it’s going through another low point courtesy of Hamann. To be fair, the styling of the Hamann Hawk is almost kind of cool. But the matte pink...

It’s become quite clear that Mansory and Fab Design should leave SLS-tuning to the experts. Brabus has pulled back the wraps on its 700 Biturbo, and the results are pants-tightening impressive. Brabus has taken the 6.2-liter SLS AMG V8 and attached a pair of turbochargers to the already-excellent...

Is Mansory going soft on us? The Germany-based customizer of high-end exotics has arrived in Geneva with its take on the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. It’s called the Mansory Cormeum… and it’s remarkable for not being eye-searingly ugly. The Cormeum is certainly no beauty queen, but Mansory...

We find it a bit ironic that a car this hideous came from a company called Fab Design. It’s hard to imagine that a car as pretty as the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG could be turned into something so offensive. We’re fine with the matte blue paint finish, but the added aero treatment, massive rear...

Mercedes-Benz brought along a fleet of green-leaning vehicles to this year’s Detroit Auto Show. While the German automaker displayed its hydrogen B-Class F-Cell alongside a flotilla of BlueTec diesels, the SLS AMG E-Cell stole the stage. Aside from wearing the world’s most eye-searing matte-yellow...

It was only a matter of time before Brabus got around to turning its attention to the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. The German tuner has given the Silver Arrow’s newest supercar the once over with a smattering of aesthetic additions both inside and out, as well as a few mechanical tweaks. Things get...

The gossipmongers at Autocar are reporting that the race-bred Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 that’s getting its American debut at the New York Auto Show this week may be the foundation for a street-legal SLS AMG Black Series. We’ve heard rumors of a racier SLS for some time, but this is the first...

On one hand, it may seem like an odd time for Mercedes to be jumping back into the ultra-premium end of the car market, particularly in light of its recent less-than-standouts efforts (think: McLaren SLR and the salesproof Maybach). But this isn’t the case with the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG....

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is intended to redress the awkwardness – and low volumes – of the McLaren Mercedes SLR. Based on a first look at it, the supercoupe’s chances are very good. That door handle is down by one’s shins, but overcome that low hurdle and the reward is a cozy trip to...
