Mercedes-Benz AMG hosted a small reception at the LA Auto Show. During this reception, they show-cased a few of their all-new vehicles such as the S65 AMG and S63 AMG. Teutonic hammers in large four-door sedan variants. For more Mercedes-Benz and AMG cove...  

What a post, my friend! I am deeply in love with the concept car. Will we ever see it in the real life, one day? Best, and thanks for these slices of dream. Nicolas

They will make it, but not Mercedes-Benz, a coachbuilder will take a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG chassis and build on top a car that looks like the Vision Concept. Here's a video of the designers of the Vision Concept. <object width="853" height="480">&l... 

Been driving it for a while, it handles pretty well. :) cheers vte

What's your best lap time in it on what race course?

Let me know which track you like, and I'll tell you. :) I guess it would be just an average time, but I really enjoy driving many cars, even virtually. cheers vte

I don't own a PlayStation, XBox, nor Nintendo. And I'm terrible with the virtual cars. It's much easier in real life. What's your time on Laguna Seca?

....... between driving virtual or real cars nowadays. You must try GT6 or iRacing for PC, you will not believe how "real" it has become. Of course you better do it with the proper pedals, steering wheel and gear paddles or stick, as I do. In the past it ... 

Lightning quick for Laguna Seca. Good to know that the virtual world doesn't have radars and cops.

How cool is that concept car!? See the ultra low profile tires? The SLS AMG Final Edition is sure to be highly collectible in the decades to come. Dean

I loved it. And it's affordable, you can drive it in the video game! All you need is a video game, and a TV. And the car was even more amazing to see in person. What did you think about the Lamborghini Egoista?

The Vision concept car is really stunning. I wasn't a fan of Mercedes but those AMG are really nice cars... Mark

In this post, there is a video of how they designed the Vision Concept car. Which AMG car is your favorite? Mine is the C63. And I really like the G-wagon, but I don't really desire an AMG version.

Well, I think I would go for a C63 too (I'm not a big fan of the SLS in this level of cars) and I'll choose the black series edition : But I must say I would go for the new M4 instead if I had to choose :p ...  

The M4 will be an amazing car. But it'll be broadened for en masse. The latest BMW M5 is already exhibiting this. When driving the latest BMW M5, the difference is very small compared to the 550i. The difference between the previous M5 (the E60 chassis) a... 

Thanks for sharing these thoughts Patrick. I haven't try this new M5 but I imagine how it evolved. Nevetheless, if I wanted to have a car to have fun on roads I would go for a Porsche. New sport sedan/coupé are more like big GTs able to carry the whole fa... 

This post has been edited for cohesiveness. Quoting you Mark: "New sport sedan/coupé are more like big GTs able to carry the whole familly and allow the driver to have fun with pressing the right pedal sometimes. Sadly, that's how things evolved lately." ... 

... maximum mess with a minimum of effort. Other than that, I like the S-class a lot. Weird, didn't recall having thought like that a while ago. Maybe the 50th birthday affected my brain, and I have become a "senior driver" ... Marcus

I have white sofas in the living room. Maximum stain, minimal effort. I do like the S-Class as well. It's a bit of a plush drive though, driving the Audi S8 was definitely much more light and nimble. Your off-road truck is an amazing vehicle.

Thanks for sharing :-) beautiful pictures of beautiful cars. The S65 AMG is simply awesome...beautiful and classy with power. Best is the word. Never knew they still produce V12 though. Thought the world had gone smaller engines this days. The Concept car... 

Glad you like the new S-Class. I personally find it a bit too luxurious and not serious looking enough. But I overall like it. Now, I just have to get driven in one in all sorts of conditions to be convinced it's still the best car in the world. The last ...
