This thing is a total workhorse.

This thing is a total workhorse. I must have put 500 miles on this truck during my time behind the wheel and put it through all kinds of scenarios.

Sneak Peek: Mercedes-Benz SLM AMG
Mercedes-Benz SLM - Germany's Mid-Engine Boom - Automobile Magazine
M stands for mid-engine.

We've reported recently that Mercedes-AMG was working on a smaller, cheaper SLS spin-off called the SLV, which would share the Gullwing's front-engine layout. That plan is now on the back burner. Mercedes is still interested in a derivative of its new halo model, but that prospect is currently being referred to internally as SLM.
