0 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster




Mercedes-Benz introduced a brand new gem. This is the SLS AMG Roadster, which is like a coupe variant, with a resign canvas roof opening gullwing doors give it a name classic. Highlights from the 2012 SLS AMG technology Roadster includes aluminum spaceframe body, an AMG 6.3-liter V8 with a front mid-engine with dry sump lubrication developing a peak output of 563 hp and 479 pound-feet of torque, seven-speed dual clutch transaxle transmission and sports suspension with aluminum double wishbones all of which will increase the pulse of sports car enthusiasts while providing outstanding driving dynamics and driving pleasure.


 


The top of the compact soft fabric of the SLS AMG Roadster opens and closes in just eleven seconds, and can be operated on the move at speeds of up to 31 mph. The new Adaptive AMG Sport Suspension with electronically controlled damping is available as an optional extra attractive. This allows the damping characteristics to be modified at the touch of a button. Using UNIT HARD AMG, the SLS AMG Roadster
 driver is therefore able to choose their own suspension setup. Three modes are available: Comfort, Sport and Sport plus. "AMG Performance Media" is a unique new feature: this innovative, motorsport-inspired multimedia system offers an unrivalled combination of numerous telemetric displays such as lateral and linear acceleration, various engine data and lap times on a racetrack.



SLS AMG Roadster interior is stunning and evoke associations with the aircraft cockpit: prominent features included in the form of wings and dashboard air vents with adjustable, cross nozzles are reminiscent of a jet engine. Length center console matte, solid metal and the E-SELECT lever in the form of a new thrust control of a plane are also design features adopted from the world of aviation. Other interior features are available in genuine carbon fiber and there is a central control unit in the center console, allowing the driver to choose a personal vehicle setup, including adjustment of the optional Sport Suspension Adaptive AMG. AMG performance steering wheel with a high grade premium leather lining and leveling the bottom of the rim provides a perfect vehicle control.

To achieve the same level of driving dynamics – without a fixed roof, the SLS AMG Roadster incorporates several features specifically designed to strengthen the bodyshell, including side skirts with greater wall thicknesses and additional chambers. The dashboard cross member is supported against the windshield frame and center tunnel by additional struts, and a curved strut between the soft top and the tank reinforces the rear axle. The lack of a roof and gullwing doors means that the open-top SLS AMG has a reinforcing crossmember behind the seats to support the fixed roll-over protection system. This also accommodates the 250 watt subwoofer of the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG high-end sound system.
