when is this going to be available for purchase?

 

Gonna look bad ***. i've seen a non camouflaged photo of this car and it look good

 

One of the car mags estimated MSRP to be ~$200k... we'll have to see. It was mentioned by AMG to not be considered as an SLR-esque replacement - if if the rumored MSRP is true, it'd actually only cost 2/3rds of an SL65BS.

Liked the pics shared on the prior page, thanks to whomever posted them. A deep metallic silver/grey color with those brown seats would look very "MB" indeed... might be a popular combo, if offered.

 

Production starts in March 2010 for an early May delivery (at least for ME cars).

Pricing is around $220k onwards. Few options, most notably Alubeam metallic paint ($10k), ceramic brakes ($5k), exterior carbon fiber package, mainly side mirrors, rear lid and front spoiler, and side skirts all in carbon fiber ($4k).

Three choices of wheels. I'll post the complete order guide tomorrow.

 

$10k paint option? What, are the metallic flakes pure silver or something?
