"The style of the new Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS is very special not only because of the unique gullwing doors. Our goal is to exploit this understanding to create the classic of tomorrow and deploy the most exciting sports of the 21st century . Our goal is to create a new design icon that is the legend's inimitable brand, together with Mercedes models like the CLS or SL. At the same time, opens new Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS design philosophy drive future sports cars Mercedes-Benz, "says Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Mercedes-Benz.
Design: purist, distinctive and passionate
Distinctive design of the new Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS fascinated by the passion for racing and reinterprets the breathtaking lines, Mercedes-Benz 300 SL - one of the remaining icons in the design of the Mercedes-Benz. The purist design of a new SLS AMG reflects the philosophy of modern engineering sports car: the engine hood, which measures nearly two meters, a small greenhouse is located well behind the back of the head with a short surface are just as powerful a dynamic expandable reminder and superlative of long wheelbase, wide track and large wheels. Prices short overhangs, the size, just like the design of the super sports car in front of a low-mid-engine well back, and dual-clutch transaxle transmission. The undisputed highlight of the style comes courtesy of the gullwing doors that lead the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS, its incomparable charisma - makes a statement unique in this vehicle segment.
The gullwing doors are not alone in reviving memories of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, Grill feature large Mercedes star big fins and wing-shaped cross is a return to the first end of the legendary sports cars. The three-dimensional, sculpted front, with its low-threshold front air dam swept all sides and give the "Gullwing" their position of power on the road. Six large cooling air intakes and lights arranged vertically so good out of your indoor environment will be a dominant plant attractive bi-xenon low center wing section with the metal is surrounded by over two LEDs and LED daytime running lights on base.
The impacts of aircraft construction
References to the construction of aircraft are courtesy of the Mercedes star conspicuously, the tubular part of the recall when the air inlet side of the jet engine of view, as well as a long bonnet, the eye is pulled forward, so that the viewer becomes more aware of the curve. The design of the four wings of the Silver Shadow finish are adorned with two air outlet openings from the hood to create the same visual impression. These lines style of air to speed up visually the air, which flows past - and make the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS, it seems a very dynamic place.
Louvers on the hood is lifted at the sides of the vehicle: the connoisseur there is also the function of style characteristic of the 300 SL. The "6.3" letters is placed between the fins gives a clear reference to the high displacement V8 engine. The output side is fed through a line leading characteristic style, which together with the sides convex and exciting finish, combines aesthetics with power. The compact cabin proves as seductive as it is unmistakable. With its high beltline, low side windows and steeply raked windshield that appears as a kind of visor. The front corner B-pillar, with its elegant sweeping flows back to the dynamic breathing pure.
Side view is dominated by the muscles and shoulder
In profile, the eye is drawn to the shoulder of the vehicle for SLS AMG AMG Mercedes-Benz, which runs like a stretched muscle back and forth. It has 19-inch (front) and 20-inch (rear) alloy wheels fill the wheel arches, which will feature on the sidewall. Three different variants of wheels, all give an idea of the great high-performance composite brakes. Seen from above, a prominent online continuing connects muscle back. This feature is also a style in the chapel where the eye is a distinct advantage that runs through the ceiling, between the gull-wing doors, through the third brake light.
Rear view that emphasizes the breadth
The image on the back of the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS also implies dynamism and power: the sloping tailgate emphasizes a feeling of width, an impression reinforced by the shoulder and the rear leading thin: equipped with LED technology, lighting horizontally structured to provide a scintillating view. Wing-shaped elements of LED lighting to ensure a strong design nightlife. Formula-1-type LED fog lamp / reversing lights down low in the middle. Equally inspired by motor racing, the black diffuser insert and two chromed tailpipes of the sports exhaust system. The conical skirt gives a striking view over the rear wheels off, on loans "Gullwing" of his attitude of self-confidence on the road. The spoiler is integrated into the tailgate automatically deployed from a speed of 120 km / h to ensure optimal stability at high speeds.
The new colors: "AMG ALU silver bundle" and two without being
The color charts for Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS includes nine paintings exclusive. The climax comes in the form of the unique "AMG ALU-BEAM silver" paint: the new unique process of painting shines like liquid metal. Paint covering parts of the body like a metallic skin, emphasizes the lines of sparkling design of the "Gullwing" stronger than all previous paint job and make them even more vivid through the reflections of light focused. This effect is made possible by measuring tiny pigments between 30 and 50 nanometers.
Both mate "designo magno allanite gray" and "grand AMG sylvanite gray" are so catchy with satin finish that reinforce the sporting character of these two specific locations, contour lines of the crease.

Interior with references to aircraft construction and comfort of motorsport
Just open the doors of the butterfly in the AMG Mercedes-Benz SLS and ease into the sport seats to experience a new level of interior. The Mercedes-Benz designers were inspired by aircraft construction in the interior design - immediately put an airplane cockpit in mind. The characteristic of the style feature is the dashboard, whose powerful and dramatic shape of the wing made for a feeling of depth. Surprisingly integrated into the dashboard vents are galvanized with adjustable nozzle and finishing Cross Silver Shadow - is reminiscent of a jet engine. The instrument panel with instruments change indicator and two white LED backlit add another button to mark its shadow sport metallic silver finish. Silver dial with red needles and a tachometer scale 360 km / h. As a central element of the interior, COMAND APSmultimedia with 7-inch screen is embedded between the two central air vents.
The elongated center console, without the metal also excited about the cockpit airplane theme. It is home to the AMG DRIVE UNIT, which is prone to Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS, the driver, and gives them the opportunity to choose the configuration of your car. E-SELECT gearshift lever, designed to resemble the control of the thrust of the jet, directs the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports. All controls are made of metal, silver with polished surface of the Shadow.
The concave interior door panels butterfly, the high waistline and side sill panels complement the powerful cockpit-like feel, while giving it a feeling of sports cars, such as ergonomics. Fine materials such as nappa leather, solid metal and (optional), a real carbon fiber coating stress is pronounced "custom" nature of the interior of Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS, and shows great attention to detail. Five different designo leather colors are available to meet individual preferences: black, classic red, sand, porcelain and light brown.
Large door opening for easy entry GullWing
Despite the low seating position, just 369 mm in typical sports car fashion, wide opening doors gullwing make it easy to get in and out of the vehicle. The design phase special attention was devoted to possible angle - is as high as 70 degrees. Equally important is the distance between the gates opened, and the road surface is a generous 1.50 meters, while the gap between the doors open and marked the top of the door sills as measures 1.08 meters. Entrance to the height or distance from the road surface and the top of the door sills have a very low level of 45 cm. As another important criterion for access to a valuable and a way out, two gas pressure struts placed next to the hinges will have very little pressure when opening and closing the doors - even at very low temperatures.
Gullwing doors require less space than a traditional open-door sports car, and can be opened completely normal in the garage. The door will be opened from the inside handle, silver shade. Hold the panel molded interior door armrest ensures trouble-free closing the door. Buttons for the power windows, central locking system and the adjustment of the door mirrors are also door panels are easy to use. Feel comfortable spaciousness is largely due to a generous 1483 mm shoulder room, and room for up to 1606 mm. Along with the more generous headroom of 990 mm of legroom and a powerful factor of 1058 mm, resulting in low, but very relaxed sitting position. At the same time deliberately steep angle of the windscreen provides good visibility for passengers.
Sports seats with the support of magnesium
SEAT Sport is made of magnesium, a high-tech material that combines lightness and strength. This translates into significant benefits for weight distribution and center of gravity low. Sports seats are equipped with a so-called two-zone seat cushions. Major side with the harder mattresses foam padding provide excellent lateral support, while the inland areas of the seat and backrest are softer and the high level of comfort on long journeys. Together, memory package (optional), front and rear position, seat height, backrest angle of the backrest and the steering wheel is electrically adjustable, three custom settings can be saved.
Lumbar supports four-way reliably protect the lower back, while the mattress and adjustable backrest effectively to improve lateral support with high speed corners. The three-stage heated seats and the employment rate seats / child car seat recognition as standard.
The sports seats with integrated head restraints and sports cross groove is covered with designo leather - and two-tone seats are also available in classic red, sand and porcelain. When light brown, was chosen as an interior color, sport seats covered with leather with special high-quality, woven leather panels on head office. Depending on the combination of colors, black or fluorescent tube gives a different touch of sportiness.
Driving performance in a three-spoke design with a rim of 365 mm with a flat bottom, shift paddles and a metal insert, highlighting the true custom look and ensure the best possible control of vehicles.

A wealth of storage space for typical Mercedes on a daily fitness
Interior Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS is also the influence of storage practices that makes the suitability of the daily typical of Mercedes. 3.7-liter storage compartment with glasses is an integral part of the dashboard on the passenger side. E-SELECT shift lever on the right is a small storage compartment 12-volt outlet or cigarette lighter and ashtray. Rear armrest, center console is not just the COMAND controller to operate the touch of a button, armrests can be moved in two stages to reveal storage space underneath. This has two cupholders and a cradle of the phone (optional), holder, and the back key on. Other items can be stored in the back of the wall between the seats and parcel net in the passenger footwell. Two built-in coat hooks attached to rest, while in the lining of the roof and folding blocks are made of silicone.
Button to lock the tailgate is located under the light switch. Alternatively, the boot can be opened using the key. Bags can accommodate up to 176 liters. A game tailor-made luggage is available as an option that allows the trunk to be used to exploit.
Aluminum spaceframe for the design of light weight and exceptional strength
The AMG Mercedes-Benz SLS is also breaking the mold with regard to the notion of the body: first, Mercedes-Benz and AMG have to present a car with an aluminum chassis and body. Compared to traditional steel, resulting in a significant weight gain, clearly illustrated in the DIN unladen weight of 1620 kg.
The body consists of newly designed aluminum frames. This unique design combines intelligent lightweight, super strength - this superb driving dynamics. Lightweight aluminum components to combine the power nodes in a robust design. Larger, lower section of the aluminum profiles to ensure a high torque resistance, which provides the necessary direct transfer of the disc, braking and suspension forces. Structure to block unwanted flexibility and the vehicle is a rigid, almost straight, and turn.
45 percent of smart, weight-optimized aluminum space frame is made of aluminum, §, 31 percent out of aluminum foil, 20 percent aluminum and 4 percent off the steel. Safety Most of the passengers' needs to be very strong, thermo-formed steel columns. Basketball weighs 241 pounds - a milestone in the car an absolute super sports segment with respect to the performance of 420 kW/571 hp peak.
Low center of gravity and lateral force struts provides an exceptional dynamic
The whole concept vehicle is designed to achieve a center of gravity is as low as possible. This applies both to the low level of transmission and axles, the arrangement of the body structure stiffness relevant, which was kept as low as possible. Examples include the relationship of rigid bending and twisting between the front and rear section and the passenger safety cell, which was performed routinely use the power of the paths that are as low as possible. This is reflected not only in a low center of gravity, but also a way to smooth force and therefore effective in the vehicle.
Another important feature of the lightweight design is the struts transverse reinforcement on the front and rear axle, which is incorporated in the structure of the body. The sections connect the beams exactly where the highest forces act on the body during cornering. The benefits of this advanced solution includes unparalleled lateral rigidity and lack of stiffness or heavy side supports.
Passive safety of the highest
Naturally, the aluminum frame space meets all the requirements of passive safety and quality characteristic of the body of Mercedes-Benz, which applies to all sports cars of the Mercedes star. Optimum passive safety for residents is guaranteed by the belt of the standard three-point safety adjustment, belt tensioners, force limiters and belt eight airbags: two adaptive airbags and a kneebag each are available for the driver and the passenger. Two-seat side airbags and two curtain airbags deploy separate from the size of bears are also available.
Refined 6.3-liter AMG V8 engine developing 420 kW/571 hp
A powerful eight-cylinder engine manufactured by Mercedes-AMG is at the heart of the new SLS. The refined 6.3-liter V8 engine develops 420 kW/571 hp at 6800 rpm, turning the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS one of the sports car the most powerful in its segment. A power to weight ratio of 2.84 kg / hp comes courtesy vehicle weight down. The naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum torque of 650 Nm at 4750 rpm. The "Gullwing" accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.8 seconds before going on to a top speed electronically limited to 317 km / h (all figures are provisional). It is equipped with the internal designation M 159, V8 engine revving high with its displacement of 6208 cubic centimeters have been extensively remodeled over 156 million entry-level engine and has all the features of powerful racing engines.
The main measures to increase production the intake system includes new valve train and camshafts revised, using flow optimized steel tube headers, and choking of the exhaust system. This results in significantly improved cylinder charging, which results in increased production of almost nine percent. The eight-cylinder engine responds rapidly to movements of the accelerator, showing much more pronounced in the high-speed flexibility at all engine speeds. The transition to the dry sump lubrication is also reflected in a much weaker position of the car. And less than the car's center of gravity has also paved the way for higher lateral acceleration and exhilarating driving dynamics.
Perfect synthesis of lightness and robustness
Using high-strength components to compensate for the increased power of the higher engine load. Forged pistons, crankshaft bearings, reinforced the optimized structure and better lubrication of the casing allows on-demand high performance oil pump ensures the optimal duration. Despite these higher loads, the engine weight of 159 M has continued to decline. Forged pistons as the vibrating masses to play a particularly important role to play in this regard that Empty weight 205 kg, and power turn-weight ratio is 0.36 kg / hp - a figure unmatched in comparison with the competition . The sophisticated catalyst technology enables current and future regulations on exhaust emissions, such as the EU 5, LEV and ULEV 2 must be met.
A match for the fuel consumption targets demanding
Despite the uncompromising sportiness, asking consumption targets are met. Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS consumes 13.2 liters per 100 km (combined, preliminary figure), earning a place in the top competitor in the standings. Efficiency measures that promote familiarity with the coating AMG-exclusive, non-double strand friction optimized ARC-sprayed on the walls of the cylinder and on-demand, enhanced maps of oil and an intelligent generator control: during the overload and braking, kinetic energy is used to recharge the battery, and not simply wasted heat. This recovery process helps the driver to stop not only, but also help to convert braking energy into electrical energy. On the other hand is connected to the generator-load operation during acceleration, thus reducing the load on the engine.
Transaxle dual-clutch gearbox assembly and a hose
The AMG 6.3-liter V8 provides power through a major axis ultralight carbon fiber rear axle - similar to the application used in the DTM C-Class touring car racing. The dual-clutch transmission is mounted on the rear (transaxle principle) and connects to the motor housing via a torque tube. A carbon fiber shaft, turn the engine speed in the torque tube. The benefits of this integrated solution are associated with the rigid connection between the engine and transmission and, in turn, generated the optimum support for the forces and torque.
The new AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports deals with the transfer of power. Dual-clutch transmission provides quick gear changes, without losing traction - in just 100 milliseconds. The driver can choose between four different driving modes: "C" (Controlled Efficiency), "S" (Sport), "S +" (Sport plus) or "M" (Manual), and RACE START function. In Sport, Sport Plus and Manual mode automatic declutching dual function is activated, all modes can be selected conveniently through the use of a knob AMG parts. Traction comes courtesy of the differential lock, which is integrated in a compact transmission.
Suspended with sophisticated double wishbone axles
The solution with a front-engine mid-plus transaxle configuration ensures a perfect front / weight distribution on the back of from 47 to 53 percent. Mounting the engine behind the front axle has created ideal conditions for drinking driving dynamics with precise steering, superior agility, low inertia with spontaneous changes in direction and excellent traction. Commitment to Mercedes-Benz and AMG to build a convincing super sports car that combines performance with the perfect racetrack Mercedes long-distance comfort has led to an ingenious suspension geometry. All four wheels are positioned on a rod with double wishbone track, a technology that has proven itself in the race to the Formula 1 with a double wishbone axle, wheel location and function of the remaining suspension separated by spring / shock absorber struts are supported on the lower triangle.
Double wishbone concept and its high stiffness and camber of the track is looking positively to the wheel with small elastic movements, to give the driver an optimal driving feel contact with the road boundaries.
Pens, spindles and hub carriers front and rear are completely forged aluminum - significantly reducing unsprung weight, which also improves the configuration, including the response of the suspension. The long wheelbase of 2680 mm, is not only an excellent straight line stability, but also small changes in wheel load, significantly reducing the tendency of the vehicle to dive and squat. The gauge width - front 1682, rear 1653 mm - reduces the development of the wheel load from inside the outer wheel during cornering, keeping the tires more grip. The lead angle of 11.5 degrees significant increases significantly negative camber during cornering and also enhances the grip of the tires - which also provides good braking stability when cornering sharply.
Direct steering, differential and three-stage ESP ®
Rack and pinion steering system provides a direct steering feel with a constant ratio of 13.6:1 mechanical, consistent with the expectations of the super sports car. Power steering provides assistance according to speed and power to improve the feedback to the driver the speed of travel increases: an essential factor for high-speed straight-line driving. Mounting the steering gear in front of the engine of a full subframe, the engine can be set very low. "Gullwing" comes with a 3-stage ESP ® as standard, gives the driver access to the three "ESP ON", "ESP SPORT" and "ESP OFF" Installations in touch of a button. The result is even more driving pleasure without compromising active safety at all. In the "ESP OFF" mode too the brake pedal restores all the normal functional ESP ® functions.
The system logic traction skid control system (ASR) is active in all three ESP ® modes. If one of the wheels begin to spin, specific brake pressure is used to improve traction, especially - especially in conjunction with standard mechanical adjustment multi-disc limited slip differential. This means that engine power is transmitted to the road even more effective when you run into a very dynamic style.
Ceramic composite brakes, innovative flow-forming machines wheels
The brake system AMG high-performance front brake discs with composite ensures very short stopping distances even under enormous stress. The newly developed, optional ceramic composite brakes with disc brakes provide better braking more. The ceramic brake discs will perform reliably in operating temperatures even higher due to their high hardness, combined with an impressive weight loss of about 40 percent. The reduction in unsprung weight has further optimized the handling of the "Gullwing" - which pays dividends, especially when tackling fast corners on motorways.
The lightweight construction also played a key role when it came to wheels: weight-optimized AMG light-alloy wheels - 9.5 x 19-inch (front) and 11.0 x 20 cm (rear) - based on an innovative flow-forming, in principle, to reduce unsprung weight improves driving dynamics and suspension comfort. In addition to the standard-fit seven-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels, 5 twin-spoke wheels with 10-forged wheels are available as options. 265/35 R 19 (front) and 295/30 R 20 (rear) have been developed exclusively for Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS, ensure optimal performance. Tire Pressure Monitoring System is standard on an ongoing basis to monitor tire pressure on all four wheels, the individual links are displayed on the screen.

Interior Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS is also the influence of storage practices that makes the suitability of the daily typical of Mercedes. 3.7-liter storage compartment with glasses is an integral part of the dashboard on the passenger side. E-SELECT shift lever on the right is a small storage compartment 12-volt outlet or cigarette lighter and ashtray. Rear armrest, center console is not just the COMAND controller to operate the touch of a button, armrests can be moved in two stages to reveal storage space underneath. This has two cupholders and a cradle of the phone (optional), holder, and the back key on. Other items can be stored in the back of the wall between the seats and parcel net in the passenger footwell. Two built-in coat hooks attached to rest, while in the lining of the roof and folding blocks are made of silicone.
Button to lock the tailgate is located under the light switch. Alternatively, the boot can be opened using the key. Bags can accommodate up to 176 liters. A game tailor-made luggage is available as an option that allows the trunk to be used to exploit.
Aluminum spaceframe for the design of light weight and exceptional strength
The AMG Mercedes-Benz SLS is also breaking the mold with regard to the notion of the body: first, Mercedes-Benz and AMG have to present a car with an aluminum chassis and body. Compared to traditional steel, resulting in a significant weight gain, clearly illustrated in the DIN unladen weight of 1620 kg.
The body consists of newly designed aluminum frames. This unique design combines intelligent lightweight, super strength - this superb driving dynamics. Lightweight aluminum components to combine the power nodes in a robust design. Larger, lower section of the aluminum profiles to ensure a high torque resistance, which provides the necessary direct transfer of the disc, braking and suspension forces. Structure to block unwanted flexibility and the vehicle is a rigid, almost straight, and turn.
45 percent of smart, weight-optimized aluminum space frame is made of aluminum, §, 31 percent out of aluminum foil, 20 percent aluminum and 4 percent off the steel. Safety Most of the passengers' needs to be very strong, thermo-formed steel columns. Basketball weighs 241 pounds - a milestone in the car an absolute super sports segment with respect to the performance of 420 kW/571 hp peak.
Low center of gravity and lateral force struts provides an exceptional dynamic
The whole concept vehicle is designed to achieve a center of gravity is as low as possible. This applies both to the low level of transmission and axles, the arrangement of the body structure stiffness relevant, which was kept as low as possible. Examples include the relationship of rigid bending and twisting between the front and rear section and the passenger safety cell, which was performed routinely use the power of the paths that are as low as possible. This is reflected not only in a low center of gravity, but also a way to smooth force and therefore effective in the vehicle.
Another important feature of the lightweight design is the struts transverse reinforcement on the front and rear axle, which is incorporated in the structure of the body. The sections connect the beams exactly where the highest forces act on the body during cornering. The benefits of this advanced solution includes unparalleled lateral rigidity and lack of stiffness or heavy side supports.
Passive safety of the highest
Naturally, the aluminum frame space meets all the requirements of passive safety and quality characteristic of the body of Mercedes-Benz, which applies to all sports cars of the Mercedes star. Optimum passive safety for residents is guaranteed by the belt of the standard three-point safety adjustment, belt tensioners, force limiters and belt eight airbags: two adaptive airbags and a kneebag each are available for the driver and the passenger. Two-seat side airbags and two curtain airbags deploy separate from the size of bears are also available.
Refined 6.3-liter AMG V8 engine developing 420 kW/571 hp
A powerful eight-cylinder engine manufactured by Mercedes-AMG is at the heart of the new SLS. The refined 6.3-liter V8 engine develops 420 kW/571 hp at 6800 rpm, turning the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS one of the sports car the most powerful in its segment. A power to weight ratio of 2.84 kg / hp comes courtesy vehicle weight down. The naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum torque of 650 Nm at 4750 rpm. The "Gullwing" accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.8 seconds before going on to a top speed electronically limited to 317 km / h (all figures are provisional). It is equipped with the internal designation M 159, V8 engine revving high with its displacement of 6208 cubic centimeters have been extensively remodeled over 156 million entry-level engine and has all the features of powerful racing engines.
The main measures to increase production the intake system includes new valve train and camshafts revised, using flow optimized steel tube headers, and choking of the exhaust system. This results in significantly improved cylinder charging, which results in increased production of almost nine percent. The eight-cylinder engine responds rapidly to movements of the accelerator, showing much more pronounced in the high-speed flexibility at all engine speeds. The transition to the dry sump lubrication is also reflected in a much weaker position of the car. And less than the car's center of gravity has also paved the way for higher lateral acceleration and exhilarating driving dynamics.
Perfect synthesis of lightness and robustness
Using high-strength components to compensate for the increased power of the higher engine load. Forged pistons, crankshaft bearings, reinforced the optimized structure and better lubrication of the casing allows on-demand high performance oil pump ensures the optimal duration. Despite these higher loads, the engine weight of 159 M has continued to decline. Forged pistons as the vibrating masses to play a particularly important role to play in this regard that Empty weight 205 kg, and power turn-weight ratio is 0.36 kg / hp - a figure unmatched in comparison with the competition . The sophisticated catalyst technology enables current and future regulations on exhaust emissions, such as the EU 5, LEV and ULEV 2 must be met.
A match for the fuel consumption targets demanding
Despite the uncompromising sportiness, asking consumption targets are met. Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS consumes 13.2 liters per 100 km (combined, preliminary figure), earning a place in the top competitor in the standings. Efficiency measures that promote familiarity with the coating AMG-exclusive, non-double strand friction optimized ARC-sprayed on the walls of the cylinder and on-demand, enhanced maps of oil and an intelligent generator control: during the overload and braking, kinetic energy is used to recharge the battery, and not simply wasted heat. This recovery process helps the driver to stop not only, but also help to convert braking energy into electrical energy. On the other hand is connected to the generator-load operation during acceleration, thus reducing the load on the engine.
Transaxle dual-clutch gearbox assembly and a hose
The AMG 6.3-liter V8 provides power through a major axis ultralight carbon fiber rear axle - similar to the application used in the DTM C-Class touring car racing. The dual-clutch transmission is mounted on the rear (transaxle principle) and connects to the motor housing via a torque tube. A carbon fiber shaft, turn the engine speed in the torque tube. The benefits of this integrated solution are associated with the rigid connection between the engine and transmission and, in turn, generated the optimum support for the forces and torque.
The new AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports deals with the transfer of power. Dual-clutch transmission provides quick gear changes, without losing traction - in just 100 milliseconds. The driver can choose between four different driving modes: "C" (Controlled Efficiency), "S" (Sport), "S +" (Sport plus) or "M" (Manual), and RACE START function. In Sport, Sport Plus and Manual mode automatic declutching dual function is activated, all modes can be selected conveniently through the use of a knob AMG parts. Traction comes courtesy of the differential lock, which is integrated in a compact transmission.
Suspended with sophisticated double wishbone axles
The solution with a front-engine mid-plus transaxle configuration ensures a perfect front / weight distribution on the back of from 47 to 53 percent. Mounting the engine behind the front axle has created ideal conditions for drinking driving dynamics with precise steering, superior agility, low inertia with spontaneous changes in direction and excellent traction. Commitment to Mercedes-Benz and AMG to build a convincing super sports car that combines performance with the perfect racetrack Mercedes long-distance comfort has led to an ingenious suspension geometry. All four wheels are positioned on a rod with double wishbone track, a technology that has proven itself in the race to the Formula 1 with a double wishbone axle, wheel location and function of the remaining suspension separated by spring / shock absorber struts are supported on the lower triangle.
Double wishbone concept and its high stiffness and camber of the track is looking positively to the wheel with small elastic movements, to give the driver an optimal driving feel contact with the road boundaries.
Pens, spindles and hub carriers front and rear are completely forged aluminum - significantly reducing unsprung weight, which also improves the configuration, including the response of the suspension. The long wheelbase of 2680 mm, is not only an excellent straight line stability, but also small changes in wheel load, significantly reducing the tendency of the vehicle to dive and squat. The gauge width - front 1682, rear 1653 mm - reduces the development of the wheel load from inside the outer wheel during cornering, keeping the tires more grip. The lead angle of 11.5 degrees significant increases significantly negative camber during cornering and also enhances the grip of the tires - which also provides good braking stability when cornering sharply.
Direct steering, differential and three-stage ESP ®
Rack and pinion steering system provides a direct steering feel with a constant ratio of 13.6:1 mechanical, consistent with the expectations of the super sports car. Power steering provides assistance according to speed and power to improve the feedback to the driver the speed of travel increases: an essential factor for high-speed straight-line driving. Mounting the steering gear in front of the engine of a full subframe, the engine can be set very low. "Gullwing" comes with a 3-stage ESP ® as standard, gives the driver access to the three "ESP ON", "ESP SPORT" and "ESP OFF" Installations in touch of a button. The result is even more driving pleasure without compromising active safety at all. In the "ESP OFF" mode too the brake pedal restores all the normal functional ESP ® functions.
The system logic traction skid control system (ASR) is active in all three ESP ® modes. If one of the wheels begin to spin, specific brake pressure is used to improve traction, especially - especially in conjunction with standard mechanical adjustment multi-disc limited slip differential. This means that engine power is transmitted to the road even more effective when you run into a very dynamic style.
Ceramic composite brakes, innovative flow-forming machines wheels
The brake system AMG high-performance front brake discs with composite ensures very short stopping distances even under enormous stress. The newly developed, optional ceramic composite brakes with disc brakes provide better braking more. The ceramic brake discs will perform reliably in operating temperatures even higher due to their high hardness, combined with an impressive weight loss of about 40 percent. The reduction in unsprung weight has further optimized the handling of the "Gullwing" - which pays dividends, especially when tackling fast corners on motorways.
The lightweight construction also played a key role when it came to wheels: weight-optimized AMG light-alloy wheels - 9.5 x 19-inch (front) and 11.0 x 20 cm (rear) - based on an innovative flow-forming, in principle, to reduce unsprung weight improves driving dynamics and suspension comfort. In addition to the standard-fit seven-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels, 5 twin-spoke wheels with 10-forged wheels are available as options. 265/35 R 19 (front) and 295/30 R 20 (rear) have been developed exclusively for Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS, ensure optimal performance.
