is this SLS?

Parm · 17th December 2009, 19:06

high guys i saw this thing being transported on the back of a trailer truck, minus the wheels, i guess no wheels to hide its identity!

anyway guesses what car is this?

predatorwheelz · 17th December 2009, 19:10

Hmm, loooong bonnet, short boot, coupe!

Could be an SLS, could be a Dodge Viper. Could be a classic sports car, for all you know!

Nikhilb2008 · 17th December 2009, 19:21

Where was this? In Dubai or NCR?

If it's NCR, maybe it was headed to Delhi for the Auto Expo.

It definitely looks like an SLS or a Viper.

Gosh, those ropes are gonna kill the paint job!

mithunkb · 17th December 2009, 21:46

Is it an SLR Mclaren by any chance?? Might be the 722s

AyAn! · 17th December 2009, 22:05

It is in all probability the soon to be launched SLS convertible.

theragingbull · 17th December 2009, 22:11

It's probably the upcoming SLS convertible. But looking at the long bonnet, it could also be the new BMW Z4.

If you had a chance to get a picture of the car while right behind the semi,depending on how broad the thing is an assumption could have been made.
I see a pick up truck in the ORVM in 1 pic, so I assume this is in DXB.
Looks quite a bit like the Viper,IMO.

It's gotta be an SLS, and a convertible at that.

Parm · 17th December 2009, 23:59

its Dxb on Emirates road just before the global village, the truck was going towards jebel ali.

i think the car's profile looks like Z4, but why no wheels?

akshaymahajan · 18th December 2009, 00:16

i doubt they will transport a SLS like this. i mean at least a closed container.
But if they wanted to hide the identity could they not just have covered the whole thing instead of removing the wheels?
unless some crazy sheikh imported one for him through an agent. And maybe he's getting 24ct gold rims for it.
Or maybe its Joey's Porsche.

nope, its a BMW Z4

SLS AMG cant be a convertible. the gull wings are the trade mark for it.

suhaas307 · 18th December 2009, 11:10

Definitely the new Z4. You can see clearly that it's a convertible. And there are few cars that have a front end as long as a Z4!

to that.

The profile definitely looks like a Z4. That never-ending bonnet, small cabin and stub boot = Z4.

Gooney · 18th December 2009, 12:03

IMO it could be both the SLS or the new Z4; but if I were to make a guess, I would go with the SLS. The Z4's bonnet is slightly curvier than the SLS's. The front of the SLS is longer than the Z4 too.
