Mercedes-Benz (http://www.autoblog.com/make/mercedes-benz/) trotted out the SLS AMG GT3 (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/23/mercedes-benz-amg-sls-gt3-customer-race-car-unveiled/) and E350 4Matic Wagon (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/15/frankfurt-2009-2011-mercedes-benz-e-class-wagon/) here in New York (http://www.autoblog.com/category/new-york-auto-show/), and along with the racy supercoupe and bangin' wagon, it's announced pricing for its all-new, homegrown gullwing.

We don't have an official MSRP breakdown yet, but our man on the floor tells us that the 2011 SLS AMG (http://www.autoblog.com/model/sls+amg) will start at $183,000 in the U.S. when it begins to go on sale this summer. That entry-level price is noticeably lower than expected, but we're sure once you tack on the options (custom color, carbon ceramic stoppers, etc.), it's sure to head quickly north of $200k.
