SLS AMG



2011 SLS AMG

It was only a matter of time before the engineers at Mercedes-AMG would take the logical next step: the development of their own unique masterpiece: Enter the SLS AMG. MSRP: TBA

The new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG dazzles with its unparalleled technology package: an aluminum space frame body with gullwing doors; and AMG 6.3-liter, front-mid V8 engine with a top power of 563 hp, 479 lb-ft of torque, mad dry sump lubrication; seven-speed dual-clutch in a trans-axle configuration; a sports chassis with aluminum double-wishbone suspension; and a DIN kern weight of 1,620 kilograms. It's a combination that guarantees supreme handling dynamics. The car's ideal weight distribution between the front and rear axles (47 to 53 percent respectively) and its low center of gravity emphasize the concept's pronounced sports car nature. The gullwing accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 197 mph (electronically limited).
