SLS AMG, one of the most anticipated road cars of the year, is launching in Hong Kong in July. An official launch at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre was thrown by Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong. Attended by over thousand guests, the renown performance art group ‘Circus O’ surprised them with fire, smoke, dance, special effect and none-other-than the brand new SLS AMG taking appearance in the air as part of the act accented with surreal special effects. Fear not the fans, another SLS AMG also took to the stage for close-up inspection.

The significance of SLS AMG is it being the first car independently developed by AMG. The extremely high level of high technology is a milestone, a solid proof for its over forty years accumulation of experience as well as a new genertaion. The THINK SILLY editorial team will be road testing SLS AMG soon, following with a detailed report.
