URE SPORTINESS MEETS ROADSTER DRIVING PLEASURE.
The technological highlights of the SLS AMG Roadster read like an A-B-C of modern sports car engineering: the combination of an aluminium spaceframe body, an AMG 6.3-litre V8 front-mid engine with dry sump lubrication developing 420 kW (571 hp) and 650 Nm of torque, a seven-speed dual clutch transmission in a transaxle arrangement and a sports suspension with aluminium double wishbones, is guaranteed to make the hearts of sports car enthusiasts beat faster, while ensuring outstanding driving dynamics and roadster driving pleasure. Available as anoptional extra is the new AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension with electronically controlled damping.It enables the damping characteristics to be modified at the touch of a button. Using the AMG DRIVE UNIT, the driver of the SLS AMG Roadster is therefore able to choose his own suspension setup. In "Comfort" mode it glides along elegantly and calmly, while those who prefer a tauter ride can choose the "Sport Plus" mode.
In addition, a further feature inspired by the world of motorsport - and highly suited to the character of the sports car - is also available in the form of the AMG Performance Media system. It provides the driver not only with high-speed mobile internet access at all times, but also access to numerous telemetric displays. Those looking to test the Roadster on a racetrack can display lap times in real time via the RACETIMER feature. The SLS Roadster is a true dream car – and with the top down, one step closer to heaven.
