Simple, because they can, it may not be practical, but it surely drives the future forward. The SL looks awesome! And the drivetrain sounds very impressive...MB seems to be on a roll!!

But again, anyone who could afford or wanted such cars is not just anybody. Can't help but think why manufacturers wants to build such huge power cars for the masses? For the occassional traffic light sprints from one to another, and maybe one or two zig-zagging maneuvours along the highway, I think more than likely the car would not be able to perform out its maximum power, nor could it be able to utilise at least 90% of its full potential ponies most of the time. Nevertheless, nice sport car thou. With such huge power on tap, the owners would have to be specially trained to drive one. But again, anyone who could afford or wanted such cars is not just anybody.
