The Mercedes Sport Light Super. A sort of gorilla in a necktie and the successor to both the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing. Already in love? We are! As the first AMG designed and built outside the Mercedes factory, this beauty uses remarkably few parts from other models wearing the three-pointed star. When it comes to balance, controllability, and stability, there has never been a more athletic AMG. The SLS boasts an impressive 0–100 mph time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 320 mph.

With the engine tucked far behind the front axle and the driver practically sitting on top of the rear wheels, it feels as if you’re starring in your own Gladiator epic, like Russell Crowe on his chariot. But be warned: this car won’t hold your hand when you push it to the limit. If things go wrong, you’ve only yourself to blame — the master engineers in Germany have executed their craftsmanship to absolute perfection.

The Cool Classic Club has a “seriously fat” one in Rocky Mountains dark brown with a Tonal Beige soft top. Owned by a true enthusiast who has always had the car serviced by a Mercedes specialist. Slip behind the wheel, press the start button, and let yourself be swept away by the performance only a true AMG can deliver. Will we see you soon?
