A new dream car from Mercedes-Benz will be on the market at the back end of the year – the SLS AMG Roadster.
The AMG’s 6.3-litre V8 front-mid engine has a peak output of 571 hp and 650 newton metres of torque, a seven-speed dual clutch transmission and sports suspension with aluminium double wishbones.
The compact fabric soft top opens and closes in just eleven seconds, and can be operated on the move at speeds up to 50 km/h.
What’s new?
The new AMG Ride Control sports suspension with electronically controlled damping is available as an attractive optional extra.
It enables the damping characteristics to be modified at the touch of a button. Using the AMG Drive Unit, the driver is therefore able to choose his own suspension setup. Three modes are available: “Comfort”, “Sport” and “Sport plus”.
AMG Performance Media is a unique new feature: this innovative multimedia system inspired by motorsport offers an unrivalled combination of numerous telemetric displays such as lateral and linear acceleration, various engine data and lap times on a racetrack, and also features high-speed mobile internet access.
