Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Roaster

Review-Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Roaster
There are lots of open-top super sports cars – but there is only one SLS AMG Roadster

Peak performance can be identified at first glance

Thanks to a unique technology concept and spectacular design, the SLS AMG sets new standards in the supercar segment. It is sure to arouse the interest of performance-focused car enthusiasts in particular.

Whether Coupé with wing-shaped doors or Roadster with variable folding roof, the SLS AMG displays character all along the line. Wing-shaped exterior mirrors link up with the entire design concept, which is continued in the vehicle interior with its cockpit inspired from aircraft design.

If the SLS AMG Roadster were just a few kilometres per hour faster, its speed would correspond to the highest wind speed on the hurricane scale used in the USA. The new roadster version of the already today legendary SLS AMG super sports car combines outstanding driving dynamics with breathtaking, puristic design with the unique experience of open-top driving.

With its purist style, lightweight design and superior dynamic qualities, the SLS AMG Roadster with its fabric top delivers a driving experience that is just as thrilling as that of its original form – the SLS AMG Coupé – with its distinctive gullwing doors.

A bonnet measuring nearly two metres and a rear-positioned flat passenger cell lend this super sports car its incomparable charisma.

The Exterior

The SLS AMG Roadster clearly has the genes of the SLS AMG Coupé – but it also has a character very much its own.
The design is distinctly dynamic, the lines are particularly distinctive: from the dominant front, including the extremely extended bonnet and the cockpit positioned far back in the vehicle, to the flat sloping rear section.

In its closed state it blends perfectly into the vehicle’s lines – a delight for all those who love classic roadster design.

The colour red represents energy, joy and passion. Now that the SLS AMG is on the scene, it represents another eight colours. These include exclusive matt paints manufactured using technology that is as innovative as it is sophisticated: designo magno allanite grey and AMG Monza grey magno. And a completely newly developed colour shade that is reminiscent of liquid silver: AMG alumbeam silver.

The Interior

Embodying lightweight design, dynamic performance and pure emotion, Mercedes-Benz and AMG have developed a purist's sports car interior for the SLS AMG. Opening the gullwing doors and folding top offers a clear view of the impressive SLS AMG interior. The interior combines authentic motorsport functionality, with stylistic echoes of the cockpit of an aircraft.

Revealing a meticulous attention to detail, a range of fine materials, including nappa leather and real metal trim (real carbon-fibre trim available as an option), emphasise the exceptional design and hand-finished character of the SLS AMG interior. For the interior you can choose between eleven carefully coordinated equipment lines. Depending entirely on the taste of the pilot - otherwise known as the driver.

Situated prominently in the solid metal centre console, the AMG DRIVE UNIT with AMG E-SELECT selector lever mirrors the style of a jet control panel. The wing-shaped instrument panel featuring four distinctive air vents and the AMG instrument cluster with white-backlit round dials is commanding and distinctively puristic.

High-quality sports seats with magnesium backrests are finished in stylish designo leather, available in eleven equipment lines to match the exterior colours. designo natural leather/exclusive light brown textured leather is available as an option.
