About the SLS:
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (C197 / R197) is a front mid-engine,
2-seater, limited production grand tourer developed by the
Mercedes-AMG division, with the assistance of David Coulthard. The
car, which 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 563HP M159 engine was according
to AMG "the world's most powerful naturally aspirated production
series engine" ever produced.
As 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 normal drivers as well as race car drivers.
The Mercedes-McLaren SLR came in at 3,858 lbs. The SLS, however,
has a curb weight of 3,569 lbs when equipped with the standard
wheels.
The SLS AMG was designed by Mark Fetherston to be a modern 300SL
Gullwing revival. The SLS AMG has also adapted the feature of the
gull-wing doors that swing open upwards on gas struts, and must be
closed manually as AMG engineers decided against the 90 lbs 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.
The 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 SLS AMG was assembled largely by hand, with its chassis and
aluminum body shell produced by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria and
then transferred to Sindelfingen, Germany for assembly, with its
engine being hand built by AMG in Affalterbach, Germany.
The SLS AMG was officially introduced at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor
Show, and sales commenced in mid-2010 in Europe and in mid-2011 in
the United States.
The 6.2-litre V8 engine (based on the M156 block) was modified to
such an extent that AMG gave it a separate engine code-M159-to
signify the more than 120 different modifications done to the
engine as well as the addition of a dry-sump lubrication system to
handle the car's high cornering speeds.
AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed dual-clutch automatic is connected to
the engine through a lightweight carbon fiber driveshaft in a
transaxle arrangement. Selectable driving modes include "C"
(Controlled Efficiency), "S" (Sport), "S+" (Sport plus) or "M"
(Manual; allowing the driver to change gears via paddles present on
the steering column behind the steering wheel). A true manual
transmission is not available.
Available in Coupe and Roadster body styles, the SLS AMG GT has the
same torque and the same top speed as the regular SLS AMG but
includes increased engine power output to 583HP in a 0-60 time of
3.4 versus 3.5 in the original SLS. A reduced transmission reaction
time in the manual "M" transmission mode, AMG RIDE CONTROL
