well...here are my pics of the SLR and me in the SLR...i'm sorry about the quality of it, but only my cousin brought his SLR and he developed only the slr pictures and the Tomahawk bike, thus making me taking pics of these pics using my digital...

pre production slr, i thought that was a full production model they showed?

very nice pics (very shitty quality) any more, and 800hp that is much more than 618 as said by the press.

no, the one that i sat in was the pre pro slr, black one from Germany...the guy there that was in charge was so worried about the car, it was funny, cause since i'm a big guy, when i got out of the driver seat, it was kinda hard to get out cause of the bucket seats, so i used the dash board as leverage and kinda scuffed the side panel carpets a lil bit...eventually he got it off, really funny...the black SLR, the back lights weren't the same as the production ones i noticed...it was awesome! and as you see in third picture, it was a pic from up top where only peeps with a merc or with appointment could only go...

but in your pics the car is grey, i am not trying to prove you wrong,
i am just upset that this car was at the auto show and i missed it.
and this pre production car... are u talking about the original VisionSLR concept. http://www.highresautoimages.com/mercedes/slr.html
