You might mistake this one for the bat mobile but its the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, expected to come out sometime in 2012. It’s said to be the strongest Lamborghini ever built and has the sleek appearance to show for it. Cruise around in one of these and not even #DiggySimmons could stand in your way, and forget about putting on a show, this ride acts chivalrous for you! So to all you downtown dreamers, keep your dreams big and your chivs on!
There are many hot super cars and ultra cool exotics out there on the market today, ranging from the “mild” Porsches to the just plain absurd Bugattis. There are also many automobiles today that are mere revivals of famed vehicles from years ago, pumped up with all the latest technologies and gadgetries available today. Mercedes-Benz combines all of this, partnering with its tuning devision, AMG, to create their lovechild, the ultra hot and super sexy SLS AMG.
Released in 2010 (and going into sale in the US in 2011), the SLS AMG is said by Mercedes-Benz to be the spiritual successor to the iconic 300 SL Gullwing. This is evident in the body style- complete with the long hood and short trunk- and of course, the gullwing doors. From there, the SLS is a creation all its own.
Under the hood, the lightweight SLS AMG- it’s built completely out of aluminum, on an alloy frame- features a 6.3 liter V-8 engine directly from the good folks at AMG. Pumping out 563 horses and 480 pound-feet of torque, the SLS rockets to 60mph in 3.6 seconds, and tops out at about 197mph. All of this is controlled by a 7-speed, dual-clutch semi-automatic transmission, with paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel.
Inside, the SLS is pure Mercedes… and then some. The interior is wrapped in leather and carbon fiber, with touches of metal on the knobs and other fixtures. It’s the perfect mix of luxury and sport, a balance not seen on many grand tourers.
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is one hot rocket. And at a cost of up to $250k, it’s definitely a pricey rocket. Additionally, there’s a drop top version coming- sans the gullwing doors- for those wondering what this masterpiece on wheels would look like without a roof.
On my driveway, there are vehicles from all decades, from the times of the Studebaker to currently my Panamera. I, personally, have encountered many unforgettable rides. From experience, the detail and precision in my European cars has my body feeling like it is moving through air and the dedication of my American Muscle Car makes me feel powerful, yet in control.
However, that American ride has always resonated in my veins and I will never walk away from it. Here is my 1966 Ford GT40. The features on this car is plenty and the amount of power it has is self-explanatory. But, the impression it leaves on you is beyond explanation. This vehicle is the epitome of fast. I apologize to toot my own horn, but I am glad to drive this.

Pick-up trucks have a new foe if this concept car is put into production.

The body of an automobile strikes the eye. The roar of the engine thrills the ears. The scent of the exhaust delights the nose. The soothing sensation of the upholstery comforts the body. But what makes your mouth drop is the Mercedes Hexawheel. It seems that I need a bigger door for my garage.
A Symbol of the Times
A vintage ride is always noticed.
The memories older generations conjure when seeing a classic ride makes them reminisce of the “good old days.” Do not forget your heritage because the look of today is rooted from the culture of the past. I have learned class from the “Roaring 20s”, charm from the times of Doo Wop, and imagination from the 70s. Each decade has its own touch. Let your eyes feel and be a witness to the time I am highlighting, the Easy Rider.
Make A Statement On The Environment, Ride A Bicycle.
The street is the runway for many – the ladies with the crocheted sweaters and the gentlemen with their madras shirts. When the seasons change, men and women keep in the times and maintain their status of catching the attentions of others.
Their clothes are not about the trend, but about the quality of the material and the stitching of the embroidery. The embodiment of their appearance comes from the mindset of no magazine, but on the individual and their style.
This is where I have triumphed. I am not what they call fashion forward, but instead I promote culture. In fact, chivalrous culture. I am Mr. Chiv. I am letting you have my knowledge of music, art, culture, and fashion.
Chivalrous Culture
Always stay in control, even when times are heated.
