What would really be your preference when looking to hire a luxury high performance sports car anywhere in Europe? Chances are that the usual suspects would top your list. There is no denying that prestigious Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini’s charms are difficult to resist. But that would be assuming that you are yet to discover the Mercedes SLS AMG. And who would blame you, after all the name Mercedes is stuck in the minds of many as not exactly the kind of marque to get your pulse racing.
Indeed scores of reviews and comments on the SLS from those who have already chosen to hire this dream car may sound like people talking about a different car maker, perhaps more closely related to the Ferraris and Lamborghinis of this world. The truth is that the Mercedes SLS is an extremely seductive, distinctly styled coupe that has thrust this well known car maker right back to the top ranks of super cars. For once the well-known German car maker with a long history has come up with the kind of car that quickly provokes the small boy excitement in us all.
Naturally, not many would comfortably part with the hefty £150,000 required to fully own a Mercedes SLS and so any opportunity to get one’s hands on this beauty would be pounced upon. And this is precisely what is happening in car rentals across Europe as a growing number of our customers emphatically vote with their wallets for the SLS against Ferraris and all the other popular high performance cars being rented out.
Clearly the SLS is the first car in a very long time with the name Mercedes on it to cause so much anxiety in the sports car ranks amongst traditional heavyweights like Lamborghini and Porsche. You will agree almost immediately as you drive out for the very first time and notice that the SLS handles low speed running with exceptional ease, even as you can clearly sense and feel the eager power under the hood itching to be tested.
Try and take corners at speed and you will have to remind yourself that you are not in a Ferrari. The accuracy and fluidity that the SLS handles corners with is but one of the numerous aspects this car has going for it that makes it a real joy to drive. But what you are bound to really fall in love with is the calmness and quiet inside the SLS at really high speeds; it feels solid and firmly planted on the road with no unruly weight transfer whatever you decide to do, even if it is to brake rather suddenly. Driving the SLS brings out all the excitement and power of a luxury high performance car merged with the traditional engineering strengths of the Mercedes brand. For instance the suspension just glides over ruts and unexpected holes and bumps on the road as if they weren’t even there.
