Many GT Planet members have already decided to buy the GT5 special "Signature Edition"

In addition to several collectors items, this special addition allows its owners the possibility to enter a very exclusive GT5 competition and win a real Mercedes SLS AMG!

Let's hope a GTP member is the lucky winner 👍

Here's what I found so far about the competition. It's not a lot yet but I searched and didn't see it posted elsewhere:

Only by purchasing the Gran Turismo 5 Signature Edition will you be in with a chance to win 571bhp Mercedes SLS AMG, capable of despatching the sprint from 0 to 62mph in just 3.8 seconds.

Thanks for starting this thread. Have mine ordered and winning this would be a big massive bonus although my hopes are not high.

Good luck to everyone!
 
I think I have a higher chance of winning the lottery than this. I saw how far I was from the GT academy series.

Hope a GT Planet member wins.
 
It would be funny if the person who wins the car won't be able to afford all the fees and taxes that come with it.

They won't give you the car unless you pay the fees. That's how it worked here at least.

Take out a loan, then sell the car, invest in the cheap property in detriot, wait for the automotive industry to get back up on its feet, and then die rich.

Why would they want to move to the US? Stay in EU/AU/NZ or move to detroit, that's a tough one.
 
It's tempting to invest in the SE because of this. But it would also mean I need to buy a proper setup just to have a slight chance of reaching top 50. At least, I don't imagine the winner will be thanking his SIXAXIS or DS3 controller.

By the way, is this AMG being mass produced? If not, it may be worth reconsidering selling it on day one.

Yes it is afew already on the roads actually. IF I won it, its going to be a 2nd day sale after lots of posing.
 
That would be pretty sweet if a GTP member won. If I could enter the competition and thought I'd have a shot at winning I'd be driving the Merc in GT5P to get any kind of feel for them as possible. I'd also be researching the crap out of it and any relevent information.

Of course I'd probably sell it after I won it.

About paying the taxes and fees. Almost any bank would give you a loan if you explained the situation.

Whaaat? Nurburgring? ... Oh wait there is only one winner not one winner per country .. that's what I was thinking since they announced the Signature edition!!! .. screw my rubbish brain :grumpy:.

Damn, then I can't win this. I'll just buy the CE.
 
Bah! Not for the Netherlands :-( But on the other hand i cant pay the taxes for a SLS here anyway :-D The tax in the Netherlands for a SLS would be about 50% of its value. And that's just for buying/winning it, afterwards the monthly tax and the insurance bill will be massive aswell.
 
There will most surely be driving missions etc. inside the game. Just like academy, I'd think.
 
Funny thing is Mercedes probably gave them the car and they charge more for the SE anyway. It does me me upset that nothing they do is available in the US. Like they think we're not worth it or something.

There really is a good chance for the top Academy participants. Are you getting the Signature Edition?

Lacombe?
I see he's/was on top of the Ferrari Challenge charts. He seems to be at the top of a lot of comps.

Yeah, that was obvious from the start, I thought. One SLS among all the eligible countries/participants.
