2011 Mercedes SLS : First Drive
Mercedes has long built a few of the most magnificent and without doubt head-turning automobiles on the streets. Recently, the Mercedes SLR McLaren was known as one of the very best sports automobiles in the world. Not a company to rest on their laurels, Mercedes rapidly went to work again to build the Mercedes SLS AMG in order to change their award-winning model.
Sales are almost set to start for the Mercedes SLS AMG in Europe, with the Us market getting their taste in 2011. The price for this Mercedes-Benz is expected to be over $200,000 Usd, actually making it one of the more expensive sports cars on the streets, although still behind other huge brands like Ferrari and Lamborghini.Mercedes-Benz has a new super car called the SLS AMG. Aside from all the usual performance comparisons there is one thing this car has that the others do not – the gull-wing Mercedes is back. Entertainment: well, there is a 6.2 liter engine in the front providing a rumble to match anything to come out of Detroit. With over five hundred and fifty horsepower the SLS would be an entertaining drive even if the handling was poor. Fortunately that is not the case. It’s agile, poised and although its feels quite stiff on the road the combination of engine of handling provides a fantastic drive.
Mercedes instantly picked up a lot of recognition for this design when it was initially shown at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. Even though it’s not officially out on the street yet, it is already the safety car for the Formula One Championship series, and it’s also already included in the PS 3 videogame Gran Turismo 5.
The design of the Mercedes SLS AMG AMG is allegedly an update to one of the Mercedes’ all-time designs in the Mercedes 300SL Gullwing. The short body of the automobile and the passenger positioning nearer the actual axle make it the two compact and simpler to handle at higher speeds compared to other similar designs.
At the moment, Mercedes-Benz is planning on releasing four separate versions of the Mercedes AMG. The very first is going to be a coupe-style car with the abovementioned door characteristics. A gold-colored edition of this car made its global debut at the Dubai International Auto Show.
In the next two years, Mercedes will launch their next version of the SLS AMG – a soft-top roadster with basic doors. There’s likewise set to be an electric powered model of the vehicle, although experts are already lining up, as it cannot possibly do as well.
The final version of the Mercedes AMG Mercedes plans to launch is the Black Series. This will probably be the most daring of all four models, as the Black Series will be extremely trimmed down and is also expected to have a reduced total weight of 660 pounds. In terms of performance, the Mercedes SLS AMG is really a powerful vehicle for its dimensions.
