2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a car that is worth dying for. In a time when people are filing for bankruptcies and when recession is actually making nations go insolvent, some people have all the money in the world. Such people would love to get a car like the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. The car is actually homage to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL.

The car is closely related to big names such as 952 24 Hours of Le Mans as well as the 1952 Carrera Panamericana. The car comes with a 6.2-liter M156 V8 , bucket-style tappets, dry-sump lubrication, 571 horsepower at 6,800 rpm with 479 lb-ft of torque, top speed of 197 mph, optional carbon-ceramic brakes with 15.4-inch rotors in front, healthy doses of aluminium, carbon fibre and leather.

At €177,310 the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is an expensive deal and would go on sale at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. I would say, if you have this kind of money, you really should go for it as it is not only amazing but a great way to display your wealth, though the tax officer might not really like it.

Merc is a brand to reckon with not just because of the brand’s ability to shell out the best roadsters in the world but also for keeping in mind the well being of Mother Nature. Take their pushbikes, for instance. An elegant design with a great mechanism, this two-wheeler is aimed to make the world a greener place to live in. The latest collection was launched this week.

We admire the concept because it actually making folks quit their CO2 emitting cars and take on the pushbike instead, for it too lets you make a stylish statement. The new bikes on the market come with a cool folding feature. In fact  here are two folding options — fully fold into a small package or the partial fold that allows the bike to be pushed and steered making it easy to carry in public transport. So, you can take your bike wherever you go.

The aluminum frame is sturdy and quite comfortable to ride thanks to the suspension travel of 40 mm in the front and the rear. There is a Shimano 8-speed derailleur gear too. Disc brakes give ultimate safety on road whilst the side stand makes the bike ideal for daily use.
