World Premiere: SLS AMG Gullwing Coupe

Stunning gallery and tech specs for Merc's new sporting flagship


Following yesterday's leaked images of the new Merc SLS supercar, Mercedes-Benz has released the official tech specs and this glorious picture gallery of its new SLS AMG in advance of its debut at Frankfurt next week. We tried to wipe most of the drool off before we posted them, but apologies if we missed any...

M-B has also released a lengthy document detailing the car's many attributes, which include a 571hp front-mounted 6.3 litre AMG V8, a seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle gearbox, all alloy spaceframe body with gullwing doors, and double wishbone suspension all round.


With an all-up weight of 1620kgs, we can expect monster performance to match the stunning looks - Merc claims a 3.8sec 0-62mph sprint and an electronically limited maximum of 197mph.

The car goes on sale in the UK next year and prices/specs will be released closer to the launch, says the company.

Meanwhile there's loads more info about this spectacular new car in the press release, but as I think I need to go and lie down for a few minutes you'll need to click here to read all the official blurb. (The press release opens in a new window so you can read it while looking at the piccies!)
