By the time the SLS AMG goes out of production, Mercedes is going to need a bigger museum becasue this car comes in with a ton and a bit of awards and titles and glory! The SLS is relentlessly reaping international awards one after another with the latest being the “Super Sports Car” of the year from AutoBild.

This must be the 20th award SLS has snatched since its introduction, and it deserves every single one of them. It is an unbelievably good car, even though it might not look like it at first. We think the reason this Mercedes has become so successful in such a short time, regardless of being an uncannily good sportscar, is the fact that unlike most of other supercars of this type it has a lot of fun built-in! It will make you happy every time you drive it.

AutoBild has also named the Mercedes E63 AMG as the Production Saloon of the year. Almost 70,000 readers of German car magazine “Auto Bild Sportscars” submitted their votes to make winners of both the SLS AMG and the E 63 AMG.
