While the personal taste of the readers was the sole determining factor for the AUTO BILD Design Award, in the case of the world’s largest technology, sport and lifestyle contest it was the votes of no fewer than 144 independent, re-nowned
specialist journalists and industry experts from 32 different countries which counted. Making their choice from among a selection of outstanding and particularly innovative vehicles, the majority again voted in favour of the SLS AMG and honoured it with the coveted Plus X Award.

With its exciting design and gull-wing doors, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG harks back to that sporting legend of the 1950′s – the 300 SL. The super sports car also dazzles with its exquisite technology which includes such highlights as an
aluminium spaceframe body shell, AMG 6.3-litre V8 front mid engine with dry sump lubrication as well as a 420 kW (571 hp) and 650 Nm of torque, seven-speed double-clutch transmission in a transaxle arrangement and a responsive sports suspension with aluminium double-wishbone axles. This unique high-tech combination helps to guarantee the highest level of driving dynamics.

The policy should include all parameters like what are your expectations out of the plan combined with the knowledge of what are those legalities where you can actually go ahead and ask the insurance company to lower down your premium rate. Combining these two perspectives can give us a relatively lower rate and better service.
