Launched to replace the Mecedes SLR McLaren, the SLS was unveiled at the 2009 IAA Frankfurt Motor Show.
Going on sale in Europe from mid 2010 and in the USA from mid 2011.
The first Mercedes car designed in house by AMG, the design is the work of Gorden Wagener like the McLaren it has a long bonnet and a passenger compartment near rear axle and most notably gull wing doors that swing open upwards on gas struts.
The SLS is powered by a 6.2 ltr V8 DOHC engine with an output of 563bhp, the standard transmission is a AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT seven speed dual clutch semi-automatic transmission through a lightweight carbon fibre driveshaft in a transaxle arrangement with selectable driving modes.
The SLS AMG Black Edition was unveiled at the 2012 LA Autoshow with a market launch 2013 the SLS AMG Black Series is a high-performance variant of the SLS AMG Coupé inspired by the SLS AMG GT3. Changes from the SLS AMG include increased engine power to 631 PS (464 kW; 622 hp), decreased torque, engine rev limited increased to 8000rpm., a revised valvetrain modified camshafts, adapted cam geometry and optimised bucket tappets with a special coating otherwise exclusive to Mercedes racing cars. Air intake ducts are modified This results in an acceleration time from 0-97 km/h (60 mph) in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 196mph. The Black Series is 70 kg (154 lb) lighter than the standard model with more use of carbon fibre in body panels, mechanical components, and the space frame. Further, a switch from steel to titanium for the exhaust system reduces weight by 13 kg (29 lb). The use of lithium-ion battery reduces weight by 8 kg (18 lb). The AMG SpeedShift DCT 7-speed sports transmission is mouted a little lower to reduce the cars centre of gravity and is braced against the body by gas-filled struts in order to avoid stress cycles. The transmission also has a faster shift. Other highlights include electronically controlled AMG rear-axle differential lock, new AMG RIDE CONTROL performance suspension (tauter basic tuning and electronically controlled two-stage damping, a wider track, matte black with high-sheen AMG 10-spoke light-alloy wheels forged for extra strength, AMG ceramic disc brakes, re-calibrated power steering. The body features slightly flared wings adding 13mmm front width and 26mm at the rear, darkened headlights and surrounds on the rear lights, front apron and rear apron with diffuser along with side sill panels in Black Series-specific design (carbon fibre-reinforced plastic front splitter, carbon inserts in the side sills and the rear apron made of carbon fibre, enlarged air intakes with carbon-fibre flics), carbon-fibre bonnet with central air outlet
Optional AMG Aerodynamics package includes a fixed adjustable carbon-fibre rear aerofoil as installed on the SLS AMG GT3, rear aerofoil braced by aluminium elements on a special insert on the boot lid, additional carbon-fibre flics on the front apron.
