Mercedes Benz SLS AMG

About Mercedes Benz SLS AMG

Mark Fetherston designed the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG to be a modern 300SL Gullwing revival from October 2006 to April 2007. The Mercedes Benz SLS AMG has also adapted the feature of the gullwing doors that swing open upwards on gas struts and must be closed manually as AMG engineers decided against the 41 kg (90 lb) of additional weight that auto-closing systems would have added to the car. In case of a roll-over, the doors can be fully detached to allow the occupants to leave the vehicle.

Although there is some overlapping in price and performance, the lighter Mercedes Benz SLS AMG is considered more of a sporty track-oriented car than the Mercedes-Benz SL, a grand tourer, especially with its optional V12 engine. Compared to the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Roadster, the SL is a hardtop convertible with technological and comfort amenities, and it also has available heated seats with a massage function.

The Mercedes Benz SLS AMG has won a number of design awards, including the 2010 red dot "best of the best" award, the iF product design award 2010 for the "Transportation Design" category, and the Auto Bild Design Award 2010 as "Europe's most attractive car." It is also the only automobile to have won the gold Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The Mercedes Benz SLS AMG (C197 / R197) is a front mid-engine, 2-seater, limited production grand tourer developed by the Mercedes-AMG division of German automotive manufacturer Mercedes-Benz, with the assistance of David Coulthard. The car is the successor to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and was described by Mercedes-Benz as a spiritual successor to the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing, mainly because it was inspired by the latter. SLS stands for "Super Leicht Sport" (Super Light Sport).

The SLS was the first Mercedes-Benz automobile designed and built from scratch entirely by AMG. Upon its introduction at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, the SLS AMG's 571 PS (420 kW; 563 hp) M159 engine was, according to AMG, "the world's most powerful naturally aspirated production series engine" ever produced.

An electric version of the car, the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive, was presented at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. Production ended in 2014 with the introduction of the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition.

Compared to its predecessor (the Mercedes-McLaren SLR), the SLS is, per Mercedes-AMG head Tobias Moers, the faster car on the track, both in the hands of regular drivers and race car drivers. The Mercedes-McLaren SLR came in at 1,750 kg (3,858 lb). The SLS, however, has a curb weight of 1,619 kg (3,569 lb) when equipped with the standard wheels.
