I am jealous! Japan can import and drive LHD cars while HK has to abide by the stupid rule that only RHD cars are allowed to be registered. Now HK is China, China drives LHD, Taiwan drives LHD, why can't HK allow LHD??

Are those also new Kleeman wheel designs? The other/current style is a little boring.

The idea of a Russian mobster driving the car of my dreams breaks my heart! What ever happened to 'Ladas are good enough'?

Initially I wanted to make the SL (if I were to get one) look like this...

But now that I have seen this beautiful yellow beast, I'm not sure anymore...

I can promise you that the KLEEMANN SL is 100 times more cool
than the Carlsson SL, Start saving.

Rusboy : you can bet your life that the new owner of the " KILLER SL " is a Russian Mobster.

Nothing against Russians. The prevailing information here is that very very few people in Russia are rich enough to afford a car that expensive. The exception is someone involved in some sort of illegal business dealings. Thank the media for this perception. Of the many Russians I know all laughed and agreed with my thoughts. They say no one gets rich without some involvement in the mob. Things might have changed, lets hope so. I too could afford the car if I was involved in illegal activities or lived like a monk. After all, my 150k a year doesn't go as far as it used too.
As far as him being smarter, maybe, but how rich was Einstein? Intelligence and wealth or success are not a linear relationship. It helps but it is far from required.
