RIP: Mercedes-Benz's SLS AMG Gets Creamed In Russia, Is This The 1st SLS Crash?

Ouch! It appears that a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG has bit the dust.

Unfortunately, in an accident in Moscow, a Lada and a Nissan Murano were also seemingly part of the wreck, the Spies hope no one was hurt.

Has any other Spies seen any other SLS crashes? From my perspective I am pretty confident this is the first victim of the SLS' lifespan...


In what could very well be the first documented crash of Mercedes-Benz's $200,000 Gullwing supercar, an SLS AMG had an unfortunate close encounter of the wrong kind with a humble yet destructive, Lada 112 'fastback', somewhere in Moscow.

From the videos of the incident we found on the net, it is revealed that a black Nissan Murano crossover was also somehow involved in the crash...

It's painful to see this SLS super car in ruins. You idiot it's not a Russian launchpad to space!

Video just showed the aftermath. Mr scenario is the SLS was overtaking a slow Murano, whose driver was probably texting on his mobile phone, while the Lada driver in the oppossite lane, thinking his car is solid as a cold war Russian tank, did not give way to the approaching SLS. Both SLS and Lada met their front left sides and this is the result.
