The 2005 model had a whopping 806 hp, and could achieve 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds.  That would be quite the experience … but I’m afraid it would achieve speeding tickets left and right as well. Nice wheels … nice price … unbelievable performance.

Good guessing, Ryan K!

Winding Road did a piece on Mystery Car 65 in Issue 52 called Betting on Gullwings.  As you would imagine, the car is none other than the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.  The car has distincitve gull wing doors and comes with an incredible, 563 hp V8.  According to the article, the SLS is able to compete with the carbon-fibre SLR.  Read the article for more information. Then, watch the following video for some serious edge-of-your-seat performance. Amazing!

How could that be? Well, it may be that the car wasn’t very successful in the states. It was imported and rebadged for only three years in the US of A. Originally called the Hillman Avenger, Plymouth gave it a cutesy name.  What was it?

Watch the video to find out.
