Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG specs

@FastestLaps can you delete the 1.1 million euros pricetag because thats definitely a typo or mistake

1.1 million euros is a big mistake lol

In my opinion the SLS AMG represents best what Mercedes stands for. A big V8 engine in the front, luxurious interior, very aggressive and opulent design, outstanding features like the gullwing doors, not the sportiest setup but it definitely gets you where you wanna go, fast.
You just feel the presence of this car breathing down your spine from the back.

2009 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe.

Possibly the best AMG of the 21st century, besides maybe the AMG ONE, SL65 BS and SLR.

Mercedes Benz SLS AMG

DAMN fine cars and some of the finest V8's- naturally aspirated ever.

The 0-300km/h time doesn't seem right!

LOL! Something else to do!

;)

Found LOADS of data sets for the standard specifications production car. I'll collate it over the next few days.

But the ICING on the cake is this cars got a 7 speed DCT gearbox. Not bad at all.

I've NO idea how I seemingly forgot this production car. None. It's got one of the unequivocally greatest naturally aspirated engines of all time. The ride and refinement and build quality were atypical Mercedes Benz!

And then you've got those GULLWING doors! What's cooler than those! You won't find them on any current Bugatti?

And in the Spirit of Top Gear on a Sunday night I leave it here with a tongue in cheek quote from American motorcycling legend John Kosinski (so nobody get their knickers in a twist)>

"If you AIN'T American you ain't SHIT".

Hahahahahahaha!

Miss the 500cc racing days. Micheal Doohan was God Teir...

Had a chance to get behind the wheel behind one of these today. I don’t care how fast or not it is. It’s freaking awesome

@ Fangio Man: Yesterday was the first time I ever saw one, it surprised me, it look even better in the flesh, that's one reason I like visiting big cities, and Savannah is one of the largest cities in my state, a lot of doctors and lawyers live there, so I get to see a lot of high end cars, the parking garage at the hospital where my mom had her surgery was crawling with BMWs and Lexuses, I even saw an Aston Martin V8 vantage roadster. :D

Also saw a silver one at a car-meeting but that was in 2011. :D

I also saw one of these in Savannah Georgia, it was black, and awesome. :D

@ nin

@Mental, Practicality is all in how you are and tend to use it, Its got a boot, so does pretty much every car, so i dont see why one wouldnt take it grocery shopping if one needs food, And why isnt the SLS to be taken the kids to school? Your it has 2 seats, one for your kid, one for you, id be Kick ****in Ass if i got to get droppped off and picked up by my parents in there SLS! ANd yes, its not as practical as a C-Class, but again, any car can be, its what you chose to be practical, not what cant be.

@BR2 In word unpractical I meant in comparison with Golf and other family cars the same class. Also I didn't want to say that all AMGs are unpractical, only SLK, SL and SLS are not as practical as, for example, AMG C-Klasse. You'll agree that the SLS isn't a car for shopping, driving children to school etc.. I would be astonished, if I meet the SLS on the supermarket's parking.

I think the Hp is fine where its at, hell you dont even need Hp to get where your going, but thats not the point of these cars, the 65 Series Benz and this only have a 30Bhp difference, thats not much.

I dont believe this car should have any less, same with almost all performance cars, and AMGs unpractical? what AMGs? the CLK GTR maybe, but as far as practicality goes, these AMGs, even there more extreme models, are quite practical for daily drivers, maybe even the best,Its not useless to drive a high bhp car on a normal road.

I live where theres alot of Snow, or most year round, so any car without (Some) kind of power shouldnt be here. 4wd is the ideal cars for choice here, but its not absolutley needed, every kind of Power is useable, but you have to know when its called for.

Yes, it isn't a race car, I know it. Then, why AMG has set more powerful engine with bigger torque (1000 Nm vs SLS's 650 Nm) into not as extreme car as SLS - the SL 65? The SL 65 is more "domestic" car than the SLS and I think it would be more logical to exchange engines. Yes, these cars could have the same power and torque as in Golf GTD to use them only in towns. But these AMGs are quite unpractical and it's Mercedes - these cars would cost quite a lot of money even with terrible engines. And nobody would buy them, except of that people, who respect the style and comfort, because the SLS and the SL are so pretty looking cars! I agree it is useless to buy powerful cars and drive them on simple roads, but I'm no gonna be happy to watch only mini-cars and German business-cars. LIFE MUST BE COLORFUL!

You dont even Need 100Bhp for Town, 400Bhp for overtakes, nor 500Bhp for track, you dont need even close to that, the only time you would need a Real amount of Bhp would be to go up an Ascent, or to race with, hell you can make do with 50bhp, but thats not the point of cars like these.

Lol, You dont use all that power every day.

town-You need at max 200 bhp
road-300
overtakes at road-400
track-500+

and again torque>power

@BR2 Yes, the rate of growth of power is coming bigger and bigger. But I think at last mother-nature won't allow you to go extremely fast. And if people try to beat nature's laws, they would have to create super technologies, which would cost transcendental amount of money.

That Bhp isnt so far off, Just look at the Hp jumps so far, 400Bhp was a hell of alot for a car in the 90s, Know you can get 662Bhp in 2012 for 65k, and the soon to be 1300Bhp+ Tuatara, not far off.

The base model Lamborghini gets 700bhp, Up from 580 10 years ago, Manufakturs are putting 580Bhp im family Estatse cars, 400bhp in cars the size of an Elise, Power is going up, but so is more advancements in technology.

Some people drive 2000bhp as daily drivers, but still, no more then 100bhp is needed for the road, but thats not the point...i guess.

Thas why i always thought certain cars had too much of a Bhp boost for there model range.

Ferrari 458 570Bhp
Ferrari 430 490Bhp
Ferrari 360 400Bhp
Ferrari 355 375Bhp
Ferrari 348 300Bhp

These ones inparticular, i thought there was too much of a Gap between the Hp levels of these serires of Ferraris, afer the 360. Same with the Porsche Turbo Series.
