German Auto Manufacturer, Mercedes Benz has unveiled the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG ahead of its public debut at this years Frankfurt Motor Show (less than a week from now). The car seems to be a revival of the Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing. The Mercedes Benz SLS AMG is fitted with a front mid-mounted 6.3 litre V8 engine which is capable of an output of 563 hp. The car is fitted with a 7 speed dual-clutch transmission. The Mercedes Benz SLS AMG has a classic long hood and is fitted with wing doors that hinge upward from the car’s roof. The small passenger compartment of the vehicle is mounted just before the rear axle. The Mercedes Benz SLS AMG is expected to be new upgrade for the Mercedes Benz SLR. This sports car truly looks like it could be come the German Automaker’s flagship vehicle. The car was developed in conjunction with McLaren. The Mercedes Benz SLS AMG is capable of accelerating from 0 – 100 km/h in 3.8 sec and reaching a top speed of 312 km/h. Although the price range might be out of the general public’s reach. It’s highly possible that Mercedes Benz developed this vehicle to compete with Ferrari and other super car manufacturers. It’s also likely that there will be limited production for this vehicle, so obtaining one out of a classifieds publication is highly unlikely. Still, it’s still a real head turner, in my opinion.
