Question >Want 2 buy a New 2 door Coupe ?<>Click< ?



Overview

What many coupes give up in practicality they make up for in sheer looks, as designers put their best face forward in an automotive category synonymous with style. That said, some two-doors offer ample room for rear passengers and cargo alike, rendering the coupe both useful and sexy.

Below is one of my Lotto Winning Picks (`if I won a Big Lotto $)
What coupe on the above list do you like ? (Post & Share `ok)

2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition

That's all, folks: The SLS says goodbye.



It's over: The SLS AMG, one of the most captivating supercars on the face of the earth, is bidding farewell. To mark the end of the production run, Mercedes-Benz is building just 350 units of a Final Edition next year. Both gullwing-door coupes and roadster versions will be offered. In mid-2014, the SLS will give way to theGT AMG, a slightly smaller sports car offered at about half the price of the SLS.





The SLS, after all, riffed on an icon: The W198 "gullwing" 300SL. The visceral character of the SLS’s naturally aspirated 6.2-liter M159 V-8 isn’t likely to be matched by the more muted, turbocharged engines that will henceforth power every future AMG model. Under the long hood of the SLS AMG GT Final Edition, the V-8 makes 583 horsepower at 6800 rpm and produces 479 lb-ft of torque at 4750. That thunderous output is transmitted to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. The power level is entirely on par with the SLS GT; speculation that the Final Edition would get a dollop of extra horsepower was unfounded. In our testing, the SLS GT roadster stormed from rest to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds (the coupe did it in 3.8). We estimate top speed at 197 mph.
The Final Edition of the SLS is set apart by a front splitter, a rear spoiler that evokes the bad-*** SLS Black Series, and a hood with a central engine-compartment vent—all fabricated from carbon-fiber. Uncompromising, specially developed Dunlop Sport Maxx Race Cup tires are available as a no-cost option. The forged 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels are exclusive to the Final Edition.





Inside is diamond-pattern leather with silver stitching and plenty of carbon-fiber trim. Every Final Edition model comes with a plaque that says "1 of 350," but doesn’t disclose its actual place in the production run. That’s kind of a bummer, but customers have given Mercedes-Benz salespeople grief in the past when they were told that their desired number of a given limited-run series was already spoken for.
Driving the SLS is a scintillating experience; the expansive hood and the bellow of the barely tamed V-8 give new meaning to the term "grand touring." While we’re a bit sad to see it shuffle off this automotive coil so soon, the Final Edition seems to be a fitting tribute. U.S. pricing remains undisclosed, but figure on paying roughly a 10 percent premium over the $202,105 coupe and $208,605 roadster. View Photo Gallery
