The Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS AMG is a symbol of engineering excellence and sporting elegance. Produced between 2010 and 2014, this vehicle is the spiritual successor to the iconic Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing. The SLS AMG was developed by engineers at Mercedes-Benz in collaboration with Gorden Wagener as the chief designer. The SLS AMG is known for its distinctive gullwing doors, giving the car a unique appearance reminiscent of the legendary 300 SL.
The Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS AMG is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine that delivers 571 horsepower and a maximum torque of 650 Nm (479 lb-ft). This engine, internally known as the M159, is a modified version of the M156 engine and was specifically developed for the SLS. The AMG SLS accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 317 km/h (197 mph). Noteworthy is the transaxle transmission, which allows for an ideal weight distribution of 47:53, optimizing driving dynamics.
