Mercedes Benz SLS AMG

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a front-engine, 2-seater luxury grand tourer automobile developed by Mercedes-AMG and is  the first Mercedes-Benz automobile designed in-house by AMG. SLS stands for "Sport Leicht Super" (Sport Light Super).  

The SLS AMG was designed to be a modern 300SL Gullwing  revival by Mark Fetherston. The SLS AMG has also adapted the feature of wing doors that will swing open upwards on gas struts, and the doors must be closed manually as AMG engineers decided against auto-closing system. In case of a roll-over, the doors can be fully detached to allow the occupants to leave the vehicle.

The AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission is installed 10mm lower in order to achieve a lower centre of gravity for the vehicle and is braced against the body by gas-filled struts in order to avoid stress cycles. The transmission's "Sport plus" and "Manual" modes feature faster shifting speed. The downshifting throttle blips are more audible. The new temporary M mode enables the driver to activate manual mode without having to remove a hand from the steering wheel, by pressing the "up" or "down" shift paddle once. The SLS AMG is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.2 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 204 mph (328 km/h). The supercar can also perform a quarter mile time of 11.1 seconds at 132 mph (212 km/h).
