Is the SLS AMG roadster a supercar?

Just thought I'd ask, having bought one today

PS Based on the test drive, I'll love it whatever you say!

See the R8 10 thread, no it's not, but it does have the performance of one, Mike

Well, using Ro55a's SPEC F from that thread, this is my take:

Speed - pass

Provenance - arguably, sporting history? Yes. Great designs? I think so...

Exclusivity - pass, roadster seems pretty scarce. Only 75 in UK

Cost - pass I would think, list was £176k and the ones I've looked at were nearer £200k with options

Form - hmmm, possible fail. Has a decent boot, comfortable, has heated seats and even airscarf! Maybe a ridiculously long bonnet will help? And the fact it is so wide I'm having to get a new garage door...

Sorry yes it is, I got the wrong merc, Mike

Suoercar without a doubt. The coupe will be a valuable future classic, the convertible might be the better car though. Very nearly bought one a couple of years ago. Hilariously long bonnet but a beautiful thing to see and sit in.

Nope it's a GT, how many more of these threads are we going to have?
