The question "what's the greatest super-GT on the plant has only one good answer in the eyes of some people, the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG. The only bespoke car of the AMG range is without a doubt the most amazing machine they make, and the GT model is like the bonus that is welcomed but not necessarily needed.
The updated model features key updates, like a 20 hp increase for the already powerful 6.3-liter V8 to bring the grand total to 591 hp. In addition, , its adaptive damping has been revised to ensure sharper responses and its sophisticated AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT-7 gearbox has been uprated to allow even quicker gear changes.

If you're a skilled driver, the SLS AMG GT is capable of accelerating from rest to 62 mph in just 3.7-seconds, and 124 mph in 11.2-seconds, before reaching an electronically-limited maximum speed of 198 mph.

Supercar spotter Shmee150 captured this video of a designo matte brown SLS AMG GT making its dynamic presence felt at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed preview day. The man behind the wheel is apparently Chris Harris who was filming a segment for DRIVE magazine.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
