    In Spring of 2010 Mercedes is releasing a new model of car by the name of an SLS AMG (as a 2011 model).  The car features a 6.2-liter V8 pumping out 563hp and 479 lb-ft of torque.  The car will most notably be known for it’s gullwing doors, reminiscent of the original 300LS Gullwing (which you can get for about $500,000).

    The car will be priced somewhere between $200,000-$250,000.  The other day, some of the options were leaked out, including a few carbon fiber goodies.  What’s amazing is the price of some of this stuff:
