Crash in Russia

There is a new member of Mercedes called Mercedes SLS AMG. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a luxury grand tourer automobile developed by Mercedes-Benz AMG to replace the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.The car is the first Mercedes automobile designed in-house by AMG and is described by Mercedes as a "spiritual successor to the 300SL Gullwing." The vehicle was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. Sales will begin in mid-2010 in Europe with MSRP of €177,310 (incl. taxes) and in the United States in mid-2011 for less than $200,000. The SLS AMG is featured as the cover car for the upcoming Playstation 3 racing game Gran Turismo 5, and is the safety car for the 2010 Formula 1 season.


However, the big topic is that one of the Mercedes SLS AMG in Russia was totaled in public, which isn't even on sale yet. It is revealed that a black Nissan Murano crossover was also somehow involved in the crash. Interestingly, the license plate number of the car tells us that the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing was a press/demo car used in many photo shoots and videos in Russia.

    Hmm, I'm not so sure about that crash involving a new Merschedes. It looks like an AMC Pacer to me. And it said AMG on the back, maybe it is a new model of the AMC Pacer but with a bad disguise.

    And who drove it? Was it that girl in the still photos video?
