How does a drive in an AMG SLS or other AMG vehicle in Germany sound? And, how about a drive on the Autobahn and a tour inside AMG headquarters in Affalterbach? This coming June, you can do it all.

The Mercedes-Benz Club of America (MBCA) is offering members who own or drive AMG vehicles an exclusive opportunity to participate in the first MBCA SLS AMG Performance Week in Germany. This event will not be available elsewhere. It only costs $45 to join MBCA, if you’re not already a member.

The event will feature partipants’ driving the SLS and other AMG vehicles on a variety of roads in Germany as well as on the Autobahn. There will be an in depth visit to the Sindelfingen plant, the SLS production area, and the Center of Excellence; you’ll also visit the Mercedes-Benz Museum and the Classic Center.

The trip is scheduled for June 5 to June 10 and will not be offered again in 2011. Our friend Jim O’Sullivan is the contact person; tell Jim that Greg Magnus said hello! Additional information, clarification, and registration details are available here for those interested.

Below please find a video message prepared by the staff at our national business office (NBO). There are many things you can do to get involved with the club. Please contact your Central VA Section board for details.

This will show the elected officials that the club has the support and they will in-turn instruct DMV to develop a plate. READ MORE »
