SLS AMG

Before some of you get in a uproar, I have already posted this in the SLS thread for our SLS AMG owners, I just thought that some of you E55 and E63 owners might be interested in this as well. If it's and AMG regardless of the model, I'm always interested.

National Geographic Channel will present the SLS AMG on Ultimate Factories, this Thursday at 10 pm. Here is the link if you are not familiar with this TV show:

http://channel.nationalgeographic.co.../5156/Overview

Previous shows have featured the Ferrari 599, Audi R8, Porsche 911, Maserati, Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper to name a few. I don't know about you, but I'm going to watch it.

Thanks for the info. I love the show. Getting the "behind the scenes" look at how things are made in the factory is fascinating to me. My favorite episodes so far were the Ferrari 599, Porsche 911 GT3, and Lamborghini Murcielago.

Huge difference in price would indicate the SLS is far more of a regular production line car. Thank you for that link by the way, will make the time to watch it later today.
