One of my absolute favourite cars :shock: But it doesn´t by far reach the new SL55 AMG for me though it has a much bigger engine but only 25hp more... The looks of the new one is simply godlike 8)

well, hmmmmmm is Carbon fiber the new buzz option? Everyone is putting it on and saying look we have light weight stuff on our car. A engine cover doesn't weight enough to matter. Still a good looking car.

The engine looks quite good. But the car is too heavier. Well, with a 6 cilynder engine turbo but 1200kg or less, u can go even faster spending so much less fuel and making corners faster.

I'm not that impressed honestly...

Lambo, BMW, and even Honda can manage 100+ bhp per litre. Mercedes still can't. but I do prefer the build quality of this era of Merc to the new ones.

You are mistaken my friend if you think mercedes can't manage 100+ bhp per litre, the thing is Mercedes has different approach to their engine building and they can produce the output they want with the reliabillity they want. Porsche is doing the same thing with different approach to their engine and they also can't manage 100+ bhp per litre,so what!!
