Tata Sumo

Tata Sumo is a multi-utility vehicle produced by India's Tata Motors. The vehicle was released in 1997 and was one of the first passenger vehicles designed in India. The Sumo received an extensive facelift in 2004 and was renamed the Sumo Victa in face of competition from relatively modern competitors. A sports utility vehicle-version of the automobile, named Sumo Grande, was released in 2008.
The Sumo is based on Tata Motors' 207 pick-up platform and thus, shared most of its other mechanics with other Tata vehicles like the Tata Sierra, Tata Estate, Tata Tatamobile, Tata Telcoline (TL) and Tata 207DI. In 1994, the Tata Sumo originally came with a 1948cc normally aspirated diesel engine. Later, an option of a turbocharged version of the same engine was also offered.

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing Again Detailed By Mercedes AMG

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing Again Detailed By Mercedes AMG

2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing, exterior front and side view

After releasing details of their new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing to select publications about a week-and-a-half ago, Mercedes AMG today has released a lengthy press release highlighting again the forthcoming model. Because we've already detailed the model once I'll abstain from doing so again; however, I will let Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche talk briefly about the new Gullwing. According to Dieter, "Mercedes-Benz is presenting an exhilarating super sports car in the guise of the new SLS AMG, which is bound to set the pulses of all car enthusiasts racing that extra bit faster. The SLS AMG is emotion pure and simple for the Mercedes-Benz brand and is set to become one of the most alluring sports cars of our era."

Volker Mornhinweg, Chairman of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, adds: "Our customers will experience with the SLS AMG the expertise of our sports car manufacturer Mercedes-AMG, built up over 40 years of motor racing, along with the kind of scintillating design that only a top athlete from the Mercedes-Benz stable can offer."

Remember, this is the first time in Mercedes AMG's history that they've produced a vehicle entirely in-house. And while I'm certainly a fan of the work turned out by AMG, even coming close to creating a vehicle that can match the legendary status of the original Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing is certainly a tall order. Personally, I'd much rather opt for the original Gullwing over the reincarnated version regardless of what technology the SLS possesses, but that's just me.

Time will tell how successful rekindling a legend will be, but in the meantime, keep scrolling for 50 or so photos highlighting the new Mercedes SLS AMG Gullwing along with the official press release detailing the model.
