Win Mercedes Benz SLS AMG
The new
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, that is about to celebrate their world premiere on 15 September 2009 at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt/Main, embodies a blend of consummate automotive fascination along with high tech. The excellent sports car delivers any compelling mix of purist styling, consistent light in weight design and superior operating dynamics. At the identical time, the SLS entirely lives up to all of the expectations of hallmark Bmw everyday practicality and ideal safety. In essence, the modern 'Gullwing' offers the ideal synthesis of the benefits of Mercedes-Benz and AMG.
The new super sports car from Bmw-Benz and AMG tends to make an alluring proposition having its unrivalled technology package: aluminium spaceframe body with gullwing doors, AMG half a dozen.3-litre V8 top-mid engine developing 420 kW/ 571 horsepower peak output, 650 Nanometre of torque and dried out sump lubrication, seven-speed dual-clutch transmission in a very transaxle configuration, sports suspension with aluminium double wishbones and a kerb weight of 1620 kgs based on the DINstandard � this superlative mix guarantees driving dynamics with the highest order. The perfect front/rear weight circulation of 47 to fifty-three percent and the car's low centre of graveness are testimony to the uncompromising sports car concept. The 'Gullwing' accelerates by 0 to 100 km/h in several.8 seconds, before applying a top speed of 317 km/h (in an electronic format limited). The fuel usage of 13.2 litres for each 100 kilometres (combined) applies it at the the front of the competitive area (all figures provisional).
"Bmw-Benz is presenting an exciting super sports car inside guise of the brand new SLS AMG, which is bound to set the pulses coming from all car enthusiasts racing in which extra bit faster. The brands Mercedes-Benz and AMG have joined causes to create the SLS AMG� which is determined to become one of the most extremely alluring sports cars ever", says Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the particular Board of Management connected with Daimler AG and Scalp of Mercedes-Benz Autos.
"Our customers will knowledge about the SLS AMG the expertise of Mercedes-AMG, built up over 40 years involving motor racing. The unique technology package delivers spectacular driving dynamics coupled together with moderate fuel consumption stats � part and parcel with the modern-day AMG," suggests Volker Mornhinweg, Chairman associated with Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
"The styling of the completely new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is not solely very special because with the exclusive gullwing doors. Your aspiration is to apply this interpretation to generate the classic of the next day and roll out the most alluring sports car of the 21st century. Our goal is also to produce a new design icon, which shapes the incomparable tale of our brand, together with Mercedes models like this CLS or the SL. Simultaneously, the new SLSpaves the best way for the design philosophy of forthcoming Mercedes-Benz sports cars", says Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Mercedes-Benz Cars.
Design: purist, distinctive and excited
The distinctive styling on the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG enthrals with its passionate sportiness and reinterprets the breathtaking traces of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL � one of several outstanding design icons with the Mercedes-Benz brand. With its purist design the brand new SLS AMG reflects the philosophy of contemporary low rider engineering: the bonnet which usually measures just under a couple metres, the low green house positioned well to the rear and the short back-end with an extendable aerofoil are just because powerful a reminder on the superlative dynamism as the particular long wheelbase, the large track and the huge wheels. The short overhangs feed through in the proportions, just as can the design of the super sports car featuring its low-slung front-mid engine set very well back and dual-clutch i465 black transmission in transaxle settings. An undoubted styling high light comes courtesy of the actual gullwing doors which loan the SLS AMG it's incomparable charisma � making an exceptional statement in this vehicle segment.
The gullwing doorways are not alone with rekindling memories of this Mercedes-Benz 300 SL; the hallmark wide radiator grille with the big Mercedes star and the actual wing-shaped cross fins are a atavism to the front-end of the sports car legend. The three-dimensional, sculptured front-finish with its low-collection, swept-back front kitchen apron set well into the perimeters lends the 'Gullwing' it's powerful stance on the road. Six large cooling oxygen intakes and the top to bottom arranged headlamps set very well to the outside using alluring inner ambience provide a dominant aura: the core bi-xenon low-beam headlamp with its metal wing section is frameworked at the top simply by two LED indicators along with the LED daytime driving lights at the bottom.
Has impact on from aircraft construction
Allusions to aircraft design come courtesy of your prominent Mercedes star, whose tubular section is reminiscent of the air intake on a jet engine when viewed from the side, and also the long bonnet: as the attention is drawn forward, therefore the observer becomes more conscious of the curve. The design and style of the four fins with their Silver Shadow finish that enhance the two air store grilles on the stop of the bonnet create the same visual effect. These aircraft-style traces also visually accelerate the air that flows past � and make the SLS AMG seem extremely dynamic even while stationary.
The fins around the bonnet are taken high on the vehicle flanks: the particular connoisseur also discovers the following a hallmark styling characteristic of the 300 SL. The "6.three" lettering placed between your fins provides a clear reference to the large-displacement naturally aspirated V8 engine. The facet air outlet feeds via into a stylistically well known feature line, which along with the convex flanks and the particular exhilarating surface treatment, brings together aesthetics with power. The particular compact passenger compartment demonstrates as alluring as it truly is unmistakable. With its large beltline, low side glass windows and steeply angled windshield it comes across being a kind of visor. The actual forward angled B-pillar with its classy flowing sweep to the trunk window exudes pure dynamism.
Side view dominated simply by muscle and shoulder
Seen from the side, the attention is drawn to this prominent vehicle shoulder with the SLS, which stretches such as a taut muscle from top to the rear. Special 19-inch (front) as well as 20-inch (rear) gentle-alloy wheels fill your wheel arches, which jump out prominently from the sidewall. Three different tyre variants all provide any glimpse of the significant high-performance composite wheels. Seen from above, a new prominent, uninterrupted line extends from the muscle towards rear. This styling element is also picked up on the bonnet where the eye follows a distinctive form which flows over the roof between the gullwing doorways, right through to the 3rd brake light.
Rear watch that emphasises width
The particular rear view of this SLS also exudes oomph and power: the carefully sloping boot lid emphasises a sense connected with width, an impression a strong by the prominent car shoulder and the luxurious tail lights: fitted together with LED technology, the width wise structured lighting units give you a scintillating view. Wing-shaped LED lighting elements ensure a distinctive, bewitching night design. The Solution-1-style LED fog lamp/reversing light is set down low in the centre. Similarly inspired by simply motor racing are the particular black diffuser insert and also the two chromed tailpipes of the sports exhaust system. This strikingly tapered rear forestage provides an unimpeded check out of the wide back wheels, lending the 'Gullwing' its self-assured stance on the path. The spoiler integrated inside boot lid is automatically deployed from a pace of 120 km/h to ensure ideal stability at high rates.
New colours: "AMG ALU-BEAM silver" and a couple matt finishes
The color charts for the SLS include nine unique paint finishes. The highlight comes in the form of the unique "AMG ALU-BEAM silver" paintwork: the newest, unique process makes your paint shine like fruit juice metal. The paint includes the body panels like a metallic skin, emphasises the particular scintillating design lines from the 'Gullwing' more strongly when compared with any previous paint job and makes them perhaps livelier by means regarding targeted light reflections. This effect is made doable thanks to tiny pigments measuring between 30 along with 50 nanometres.
The 2 matt finishes "designo magno allanite grey" in addition to "AMG magno sylvanite dull" are just as vision-catching: with their flat silk surface they boost the sporty character of the two-seater through specific contouring of the kris lines.
Interior with allusions to aircraft construction and motor sports functionality
You only need to spread out the gullwing doors on the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and ease into the sports seats to experience a whole new higher level of interior. The Mercedes-Benz designers took the inspiration from aircraft development when styling the indoor � immediately bringing an jet cockpit to mind. The actual characteristic styling feature would be the dashboard, whose powerful along with dramatic wing shape creates an impression of size. Strikingly integrated into your dashboard are the galvanised air vents using their adjustable, cruciform nozzles along with Silver Shadow finish � his or her shape reminiscent of any jet's engines. The tool cluster with its LED upshift indicator and two white backlit dial equipment add another decidedly sporty touch with their material Silver Shadow finish. The actual silver dials have reddish colored needles and a three hundred and sixty km/h speedometer level. As a central characteristic of the cockpit, your COMAND APSmultimedia system featuring its 7-inch screen can be integrated between the a pair of centre air vents.
This elongated centre console in matt metal similarly sees on the design theme of the aircraft seat. It is home for the AMGDRIVE UNIT, which is actually inclined towards the SLSdriver and allows these phones choose their very personal vehicle setup. The E-SELECT shift lever tumbler, whose styling recalls the actual thrust control of the jet, controls the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 6-speed sports transmission. All the controls are made out of solid metal, with an increased-sheen Silver Shadow surface area.
The concave inner solar panels of the gullwing gates, the high beltline along with the powerful side sill sections round off the seat-like impression, while conveyance a feeling of fancy car-like ergonomics. Fine components such as nappa buckskin, solid metal and (optional) genuine carbon-fibre facings underline the obvious "custom-built" nature of the SLS interior, and display enormous attention to details. Five different designo leather colours are available to meet up with individual preferences: black, vintage red, sand, porcelain and lightweight brown.
Wide-opening gullwing doors for effortless entry
Despite the minimal sitting position of only 369 millimetres in normal sports car fashion, this wide-opening gullwing doors make it easy to acquire in and out in the vehicle. At the style stage great attention seemed to be paid to the greatest possible opening angle � it is just a full 70 degrees. Every bit as importantly, the distance between your open doors and the path surface is a generous 1.50 metres, while the entry aperture between outdoors doors and the upper edge of the doorway sills measures no lower than 1.08 metres. The entrance height, i.e. the space between the road floor and the upper edge of the door sills is definitely a low 45 centimetres. As the second important criterion for sensible access and egress, two gas-pressure struts located next to the doorway hinges require only hardly any pressure when opening and closing the doors � also at very low background temperatures.
The gullwing opportunities require less opening place than conventional coupé entrance doors, and can be entirely opened in a typical garage. The door can be opened from inside by the handle finished in Gold Shadow. The grip section of the armrest moulded into your interior door panel makes sure problem-free door shutting. The operating buttons for the power windows, central locking system and exterior mirror adjustment are also based in the interior door panels for straightforward access. The feeling connected with comfortable spaciousness is within large measure due to the generous shoulder-room of 1483 millimetres and elbow room of no less than 1606 millimetres. In conjunction with the generous maximum dynamic headroom of 990 millimetres as well as effective legroom for the motive force of 1058 millimetres, the actual result is a low nevertheless extremely relaxed seating place. At the same period the intentionally steep perspective of the windscreen guarantees good all-round field of vision for the passengers.
Activities seats with magnesium backrests
The sports couch backrests are made coming from magnesium, a high-computer material that combines transportable with high strength. This may lead to significant advantages where bodyweight distribution and a low centre of gravity are involved. The sports seats attribute so-called two-zone seat cushions. Well known side bolsters with a harder foam filling produce optimal lateral support, while the inner areas of this seat cushion and backrest are softer for an increased level of comfort upon long journeys. In addition to the Memory package (optionally available), the fore-and-aft position, seat top, backrest angle, squab point of view and steering column are usually electrically adjustable; three person settings can also be stored.
Four-way lumbar supports reliably protect the low spine, while adjustable side bolsters in the backrests effectively improve side to side support on fast decompression sickness. Three-stage seat home heating and seat occupancy/child seat recognition within the passenger seat are also standard equipment.
The sporting activities seats with integrated mind restraints and sporty transversal fluting are upholstered in designo leather � and a pair of-tone seats are available too in classic red, mud and porcelain. If mild brown is chosen for interior colour, the athletics seats are upholstered within natural leather with in particular high-quality woven leather-based on the centre chair panels. Depending on the color combination, fluorescent or black color piping provides another cool touch.
The Performance synthetic leather steering wheel in some sort of three-spoke design carries a 365-millimetre rim that has a flattened lower section, shift paddles and a metal insert, underlining the legitimate custom-built look and ensuring the best probable vehicle control.
A web host of stowage space regarding hallmark Mercedes day-to be able to-day suitability
The internal of the SLS AMG also impresses while using the practical stowage space that makes for the day-to-day suitability typical of any Mercedes. The 3.seven-litre glove compartment that has a spectacles section is integrated into the dashboard on the
passenger side. To the suitable of the E-SELECT shift lever there is a small stowage tray having a 12 V socket, or maybe an ashtray with cigarette lighter. The armrest behind the centre console not just serves to operate the particular COMAND Controller: at this touch of a press button, the armrest can be moved in two phases to reveal a stowage compartment underneath. This features two cupholders and the device cradle (optional), and any holder for the key key in the back section. Other items could be stowed on the backed wall between the seats and in the parcel net in the rider footwell. Two fixed clothes hooks are attached towards seat backrests, while those who work in the roof liner flip down and are silicon-insulated.
The switch to unlock the start lid is located within the light switch. Alternatively the boot can be opened while using the ignition key. The automobile trunk can hold up to be able to 176 litres. A manufactured-to-measure luggage fixed is available as an alternative, which enables the boot space to be utilized to full advantage.

Aluminium spaceframe for lightweight style and outstanding strength
This SLS is also breaking the mould when it comes to the body concept: the first time, Mercedes-Benz and AMG are presenting a vehicle with an aluminium framework and body. Compared while using the traditional steel design, this kind of results in a important weight saving, clearly created in the DIN curbing weight of 1620 kilos.
The newly developed bodyshell comprises an aluminum spaceframe. This exclusive layout combines intelligent lightweight style with outstanding strength � hence delivering superlative driving dynamics. Lightweight aluminium sections link the force nodes to some sturdy structure. The huge, low-set cross-areas of these aluminium portions ensure high resistance twisting, thus providing the necessary direct transfer of get, braking and suspension allows. The structure prevents unwanted flexibility; the vehicle does respond rigidly, almost without folding and directly.
45 per cent of the intelligent, excess weight-optimised aluminium spaceframe is manufactured out of aluminium pieces, 31 percent out regarding aluminium sheet, 20 percentage out of aluminium toss and 4 percent out of steel. Maximum occupant security requires the use connected with ultra-high-strength, warmth-formed steel in your A-pillars. The bodyshell weighs 241 kilos � an absolute benchmark inside super sports car segment when compared with this peak output of 420 kW/571 h . p ..
Low centre of the law of gravity and transverse reinforcing struts for superb anticipating the waves
The entire vehicle principle has been designed to attain a centre of gravity that is as lower as possible. This is true both to the reduced connection of the powertrain and axles together with to the arrangement from the stiffness-relevant bodyshell composition, which has been retained as low as achievable. Examples include the strict flexural and torque internet connections between the front as well as rear section and the protection passenger cell, which have been realised consistently using power paths that are as low as possible. This results not merely in a low center of gravity but also a enlightening and, thus, efficient pressure path in the automobile structure.
Another prominent attribute of the lightweight building design is the transverse reinforcing struts at top and rear axle which are integrated into the bodyshell structure. The pieces connect the side associates precisely where the maximum forces act upon the particular bodyshell under dynamic cornering. The benefits of this sophisticated solution incorporate unrivalled transverse rigidity as well as the
absence of heavy supplementary stiffening or supports.
Inactive safety of the really highest calibre
Naturally, your aluminium spaceframe meets the many requirements in terms involving passive safety and your hallmark Mercedes-Benz body quality that applies to be able to any car sporting your Mercedes star. The best possible passive safety for your occupants is ensured through the standard-fit three-point seat belts, belt tensioners, belt force limiters and eight safety bags: two adaptive airbags and a kneebag each are intended for the driver and traveling. Two sidebags integrated in to the seats and two distinct windowbags that deploy from your door waistline are conveniently obtainable.
Fine-tuned AMG six.3-litre V8 engine developing 420 kW/571 hp
A highly effective eight-cylinder engine made by Mercedes-AMG varieties the heart of the brand new SLS. The fine-tuned 6.3-litre V8 engine evolves 420 kW/571 hp at 6800 rpm, turning the SLS AMG directly into one of the most powerful sports cars in it is segment. A power-to be able to-weight ratio of a couple of.84 kg/hp occurs courtesy of the lower vehicle weight. The by natural means aspirated engine delivers maximum torque of 650 Micromillimeter at 4750 rpm. The actual 'Gullwing' accelerates from 3 to 100 km/h in 3.seven seconds, before going onto a top speed digitally limited to 317 km/h (all statistics are provisional). Bearing the internal designation M 159, the actual V8 high-revving motor with its displacement connected with 6208 cubic centimetres have been thoroughly reengineered compared while using M 156 entry-levels engine and boasts all the hallmarks of powerful rushing engines.
The principal steps in increasing output include the all-new intake process, the reworked valve teach and camshafts, the use of flow-optimised tubular metallic headers and the de-throttling of your exhaust system. This brings about much better cylinder asking for, which feeds through directly into an increase in productivity of almost nine pct. The eight-cylinder serp responds swiftly to movements of the accelerator treadle, demonstrating much more pronounced high-revving flexibility through the entire rev range. The particular switch to dry sink lubrication also translates right into a much lower position of the engine in the automobile. And lowering the auto's centre of gravity has additionally paved the way for high lateral acceleration as well as exhilarating driving dynamics.
Great synthesis of lightweight design and strength
The utilization of high-strength components makes up for the increased serp load associated with the higher output. Forged pistons, some sort of reinforced crankshaft bearing, optimised crankcase structure, along with improved lubrication thanks for an on‑demand high-efficiency oil pump ensure the best durability. Despite these larger loads, the engine excess weight for the M 159 has been more reduced. The forged pistons as oscillating people play a particularly useful role in this value, resulting in a curbing weight of 205 kilos and, in turn, a power-to-weight proportion of 0.36 kg/hp � an incomparable figure compared with competition. Sophisticated catalytic converter technological innovation enables current and foreseeable future exhaust emission standards for example EU 5, LEV 2 and ULEV to always be met.
A match for demanding fuel consumption objectives
Despite its uncompromisingly stylish character, the demanding gas consumption targets have already been met. The SLS AMGconsumes 13.2 ltrs per 100 kilometres (blended, provisional figure), earning the idea a place at the top of the competitor rankings. Efficiency-enhancing measures add some familiar AMG-exclusive, friction-optimised twin-wire-arc-sprayed covering on the cylinder partitions as well as the particular on-demand, map-optimised oil supply in addition to intelligent generator management: during the engine's overrun phases and also braking, kinetic energy is used to charge the battery power, rather than being lost by simply generating high temperature. This recuperation assists the driving force not only during stopping action but also facilitates convert the braking vitality into electrical energy. Then again, the generator is moved to no-load function during acceleration, thus reducing the load on the serp.
Dual-clutch transmission together with transaxle configuration and twisting tube
The AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine delivers its abundant electricity via an ultra-gentle carbon-fibre driveshaft at the rear axle � similar to the set-up used around the DTM C-Class rushing touring car. The combined-clutch transmission is secured at the rear (transaxle principle) and is actually connected to the motor housing via a torsion tube. A carbon-fibre shaft rotates from engine speed in the particular torque tube. The aspects of this sophisticated solution tend to be associated with the rigorous link between the engine and trans-mission in addition to, in turn, the perfect support for the allows and torque generated.
A different AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT seven-speed sports transmission attends to power transfer. The twin-clutch transmission boasts fast gear changes with absolutely no loss of tractive power � in as little while 100 milliseconds. The car owner has a choice of 4 different driving modes: "Chemical" (Controlled Efficiency), "S" (Sports activity), "S+" (Sport plus) or perhaps "M" (Manual) along using a RACESTART function. In the game, Sport plus and Handbook modes the automatic two times-declutching function is lively; all the modes might be selected conveniently via the actual rotary control in the particular AMG DRIVE UNIT. Perfect traction comes courtesy in the mechanical differential lock, which can be integrated in the compact transmission casing.
Sophisticated headgear layout with double-wishing bone axles
The chosen alternative with a front-mid engine plus transaxle configuration ensures a perfect front/rear weight syndication of 47 to fifty three percent. Mounting the serp behind the front axle has created the best conditions for consummate traveling dynamics with precise steering, first-class agility, minimal inertia with spontaneous online changes and outstanding footing. The commitment of Mercedes-Benz and AMG to building an alluring very sports car that combines consummate racetrack performance together with hallmark Mercedes long-long distance comfort has given surge to an ingenious suspensions layout. All four trolley wheels are located on two times wishbones with a monitor rod, a technology that's proven itself in powerplant racing, right through for you to Formula 1. With the double-wishbone axle, the particular wheel location and suspension function remain separate; the spring/damper struts are generally supported on the reduce wishbone. The double-wishbone concept with its substantial camber and track solidity positively locates the tire with minimal elastic actions, providing the driver through an optimum sense of road contact when driving with the limits.
Wishbones, steering knuckle duster and hub carriers at the front and rear are created entirely from forged lightweight alloy � substantially reducing the unsprung masses; this configuration also notably improves the suspension response. The extended wheelbase of 2680 millimetres not only brings about outstanding straight-line security but also low steering wheel load shifts, significantly reducing the vehicle's tendency to leap and squat. The wide-ranging track width � front 1682, rear 1653 millimetres � ensures lower adjustments in the wheel a lot from the inner for the outer wheel when cornering, enabling the old tyres to retain more grasp. The large caster viewpoint of 11.5 certifications significantly increases negative tyre camber when cornering and as well improves tyre grip � this also ensures outstanding stability when braking heavily while cornering.
Direct steering, differential coefficient lock and 3-stage ESPŽ
The rack-and also-pinion steering gear supplies a consistently direct steering really feel with a constant physical ratio of 13.some:1, in tune while using high expectations placed over a super sports car. The power steering provides speed-sensitive assistance and increases the feedback for the motive force as the road rate increases: an indispensable element for high-speed straight-line driving. Growing the steering gear before the engine on the essential subframe enables the serp to be set along very low. The 'Gullwing' is included with 3-stage ESPŽ since standard, providing the new driver with access to a few "ESP ON", "ESP Game" and "ESP OFF" settings at the push of the mouse. The result is much more driving pleasure without inhibiting active safety at all. In "ESP OFF" setting too, operating the braking system pedal restores all the regular ESPŽ functions.
The system's traction logic of the actual acceleration skid control system (ASR) is active in all three ESPŽmodes. If someone of the drive wheels starts to spin, specific brake pressure is put on improve traction notably � specifically in conjunction with the normal-fit mechanical multi-disc limited-slip differential. Which means the engine power will be transferred to the road even more effectively as soon as driving in a in particular dynamic style.
Ceramic amalgamated brakes, innovative flow-forming wheels
The AMGhigh-performance braking process with composite brake cds at the front assures extremely short stopping mileage even under enormous lots. The newly developed, optionally available ceramic composite brakes together with larger brake discs assure even better brake overall performance. The ceramic brake backbone will perform reliably on even higher operating temperatures thanks to their higher hardness, all combined with the impressive weight reduction close to 40 percent. Reducing the unsprung masses has even more optimised the handling with the 'Gullwing' � which pays rewards particularly when tackling quick bends on motorways.
Light-weight construction was also important when it came towards the wheels: weight-optimised AMG light-alloy wheels � 9.5 x 20 inch (front) and 14.0 x 20 inch (rear) � based on this innovative flow-forming theory reduce the unsprung masses while increasing driving characteristics and suspension comfort. Besides the standard-fit AMG seven-spoke light-alloy wheels, 5-twin-spoke wheels and 10-spoke forged wheels are available for option. 265/35 3rd r 19 (front) and 295/30 R 30 (rear) tyres developed entirely for the SLS AMG ensure optimum functionality. A tyre pressure supervising system is fitted seeing that standard to permanently check tyre pressure in all four wheels; individual tyres are shown on the display.
The reinterpretation of your legendary 'Gullwing' is appointed to be launched within spring 2010. The gross sales price is EUR 177,310 (incl. twenty% VAT).
