The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (C197 / R197) is a front mid-engine, 2-seater, limited production sports car developed by the Mercedes-AMG division of Mercedes-Benz, with the assistance of David Coulthard. The car is the successor to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. SLS stands for "Super Leicht Sport" (Super Light Sport).

Mercedes SLS AMG to get a direct successor eventually
Company will wait awhile before doing another gullwing sports car
The Mercedes C190 / SLC / AMG GT was widely expected to usher in the end of the SLS AMG, but a new report is indicating the company will eventually introduce another high-end sports car.
Speaking to Motoring, former AMG CEO Ola Källenius said "We probably won’t do a Volkswagen Golf 5, 6, 7 with the SLS because of the unique gullwing doors and so on and so forth. It’s not something you just do one after the after." He added, “I am not suggesting we should wait 55 years to do the next gullwing car, but certainly not straight after the one we have done now. That needs to sit in automotive history as its own chapter.”
Källenius declined to say when the SLS AMG will ride off into the sunset but he did say it was "immensely successful" and elevated the brand to "another level."

The roadster is definitely better looking than the coupe in the pictures. However, I have seen the SLS coupe in real life and was unimpressed by the shape. The front is attractive and has the exotic car appeal but the rear to me looked very plain and ordinary for the price of this car. Immediately after I saw a white SL63 of 2009-10 model and that car IRL looked far better overall.
Beauty definitely is quite a subjective matter.

Autogespot.de is reporting the investigation because of the colours name passed off without result, also an inquiry at a Mercedes dealer. Maybe it´s a colour by an other brand or a special customer wish.
