With the SLS Mercedes created one of those rare cars that will go down in the automotive history books as one of the all time greats. The original Mercedes SLS is kinda outdated now, and will soon b replaced with an updated SLS GT model. But to remind us of this car’s significance, Mercedes released this ‘No Limit’ commercial highlighting some of the SLS’ features. The SLs is a perfect example of Mercedes “The best or nothing” moto.
Despite being a nice and comfy cruiser, the SLS has specs of a full-on super car with an aluminum space-frame bodyshell with gullwing doors; an AMG 6.3-liter, front-mid V8 engine with a top power of 563 hp, 479 lb-ft of torque, and dry sump lubrication; seven-speed dual-clutch in a transaxle configuration; a sports chassis with aluminum double-wishbone suspension; and a DIN curb weight of 3,573 pounds. It’s a combination that guarantees supreme handling dynamics.
The car’s ideal weight distribution between the front and rear axles (47 to 53 percent respectively) and its low center of gravity emphasize the outstanding sports car concept. The Gullwing model accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and has a top speed of 196 mph (electronically limited).
