24 hours in the Côte d'Azur bouncing from Monaco in and out of Italy exploring the Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster... so many beautiful adventures see it all rounded up in one crazy photo spread!

September 26th, 2011

24 hours with the Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster is hard to sum up. So many amazing places, such an amazing car, inspiring and fun conversations throughout... and the LIGHTING as the day changed, the car transforms before your eyes as the lighting evolves. So explore the pictures below and see how the adventure unfolded throughout the Côte d'Azur to Italy and back... think of this as a visual look through my adventures, more on technical details (like the new AMG Performance Media - letting you browse NOTCOT and turn your SLS into a WLAN Hotspot or recording/exporting your Racing stats to USB) later.

I first met the SLS AMG Roadster at the Frankfurt Auto Show earlier this month...
It really was quite a sight to behold precariously angled up above the grand stage! (And unmissable in that nail polish matching Le Mans Red)
Then many adventures around Europe and a mere 10 days later ~ i find myself in Monaco, where we officially start our Mercedes-AMG SLS Roadster adventure...
The cars awaiting as we pull up... (or fly in, as some did via Helicopter from the airport. right on to this dock!)
The pool at the private house where we had lunch and keys were assigned at the end of the dock where the cars are waiting for us... yes, there's ocean directly behind me as i shoot this...
The routes we're exploring... along the coast, into the mountains popping in to italy and back to france!
Watching them get cleaned up between drives...
Mounted up the Contour+ and away we go! (Videos to come later)
Found a perfect little driveway to tuck her away for some shots as we cruised up the french/italian mountainside...
The colors! make me swoon.... this was as we pulled in after a day of driving.
Awesome (slightly eerie) reflections of the tree branches on the hood and windshield.
The dramatic look of the matte (with some metallic mixed in) white roadster in this night lighting at the official presentation with crisp silhouettes was just stunning.
Joy riding back with Nalden before we had to leave and catch the helicopters back to the airport. (Remember the Concrete Cow? That was around here somewhere too)
The Petit Casinos were so cute, and the parking was too easy to pass up... love that matching red/black cyclists came by just as we shot it...
I suppose one of the best parts of the convertible is being able to just hold your camera up/out/any which way when shooting and driving around!
And to sum up an incredible 24 hours or so with the Mercedes-AMG SLS Roadster in the Cote du Azur... how could i leave this guy out? I think i pretty much felt like him in this whirlwind of a day getting to know the car and the area the Mercedes way.
