Proud Parent: Mercedes’ AMG SLS Featured on GranTurismo 5
By Gunnar Heinrich | IMG Daimler, AG
YOU can just hear it: “PLAY-STAY-SHON”.
As the Jalops are busy buffing their lapels at their inclusion into the Forza Motorsport entertainment brand, Mercedes-Benz, too, is tickled as punch to have their Gullwinged AMG SLS on the cover of PlayStation’s GranTurismo 5.
Yours happens to have been an avid Gran Turismo fan. Addict, really.
What high school wing nut wouldn’t be? The graphics were fantastic and the physics simulations were really, truly impressive.You could sample all your favorite cars from the comfy confines of your living room sofa.
Hours and hours of time well waisted.
Since home entertainment consoles are becoming big, big business, ( us Generation Y’ers have never lost our zeal for computer games thanks to Mario ), car companies like Mercedes are definitely seeing the light and the dollar$ in playing along.

Waah, I’m so looking forward to this, too! Finally some more choice than in “Prologue”, especially regarding the holy tristar. The SL55 is fantastic, but it has become a littlebit dull over the last year. I have to admit I meanwhile prefer the Nissan GT-R over it.
AFAIK GT5 will be out next month. So just a few days left. I just can’t await it!!
Maybe, once the online gaming part of it has been fixed, we should meet for a little trip around Nürburgring, Gunnar
