After a decade-long collaboration with McLaren that resulted in Formula 1 championships and the extraordinary Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren road car, Mercedes-Benz returned to its home base and its historical roots in 2010 to produce the SLS AMG coupe, a car that openly evoked the legendary 300SL Gullwing coupe of the mid-1950s. The SLS was the first car designed completely within Mercedes-Benz’s in-house performance arm, AMG, whose first step, as with the 300SL Gullwing, was to develop an aluminum space frame to provide a suitably rigid foundation upon which to build an uncompromising supercar, beginning with its hand-built 6.3L V-8 engine.
Based on a reinforced aluminum block, that 6.3L V-8 incorporates forged internals, dry sump lubrication, a flow-optimized DOHC valvetrain and electronic sequential fuel injection to power out 563 HP through a dual-clutch 7-speed automatic transaxle. The SLS employed all-independent, aluminum double A-arm suspension with sway bars fore and aft and coilover shocks all around, with vented, cross-drilled and slotted disc brakes delivering ample stopping power. This 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe was delivered new with a stellar array of optional extras that generously enhance what is already a fulsomely-equipped sporting GT.
Its unique Designo Magno Monza Gray Matte paint—a $3,950 addition—is complemented by the AMG Designo Exclusive Light Brown natural woven leather interior ($1,750), the $4,500 Extended Carbon Fiber interior package, the AMG leather and Alcantara steering wheel ($500) and a Bang and Olufsen sound system ($6,400). Riding on seven-spoke, light alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Cup rubber, the car also sports the optional carbon ceramic braking system, a feature that added not only spectacular fade-free stopping power but another $12,500 to the MSRP’s bottom line.
The result is a masterful combination of Mercedes-Benz heritage and performance and AMG’s world-class power engineering in one sensational automobile.
