Other than the zonda and koenigsegg - would those other cars be quicker than an SLS? I'd think not by much. FWIW IIRC DTM used an R8 as the safety car last year
You're probably right but the 4 wheel drive will be a big advantage in the wet, and that's when you really need a safety car (faster in wet corners means less cold tires). Maybe an mp4-12c would be better. Here's a crazy thought - Ariel Atom v8!!!!!!!!

I could imagine Bernd prefers a roof over his head during nasty weather : )
Why not use a current Indycar? Just to degrade the Americans' prime series some more.
"There is a credit card with the Ferrari logo, issued by Santander, which gives the scuderia a % of purchases made with the card...
I would guess that such a serious amount of money would allow them to ignore the constant complains of a car that was nowhere near as bad as their #1 driver tried to sell throughout the season.
Heck, a car on which Massa finishes in the podium or has to lift so that his teammate finishes ahead (As we saw often in the final races of the year) is, by no means, a "bad" car."
That would make it an even better move. No reason whatsoever to do it, but still do it to degrade.
