That thing is going to be really _really_ expensive when it comes out. Early SLR's fetched a huge premium. I believe one that was auctioned off for charity went for over $1MM.

The new Mercedes SLC/Gullwing will be aimed primarily at the Porsche 911 Turbo with a target price of roughly €150,000 – both a coupe (codenamed C197) and a roadster (codenamed R197) will be produced and it will be slightly smaller than the outgoing SLR.

Huge difference over here in the U.S.! 997 Turbos can be had for ~$130k.

150,000 Euro is $240k!

That is beautiful! A lot more aggressive than the SLR. This is what the SLR should've been when it first came out!
