The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG was revolutionized by Mark Fetherston in 2007 to reinvent the iconic 300SL with a cutting-edge twist. The sleek design boasts an elongated hood, a close-proximity engine mount near the rear axle, and a streamlined rear end. Conceived towards the end of 2006 in collaboration with Dodge Viper's expertise, the SLS AMG boasts gull-wing doors that seamlessly integrate functionality and style, unlike the scissors-like doors found on its SLR counterpart. Manual operation of these striking doors is crucial due to AMG engineers' decision to eschew automatic closing systems, which would have unnecessarily added 41 kg to the vehicle's weight. This calculated choice proves particularly vital in critical rollover scenarios when the doors can fully detach to facilitate safe egress from the vehicle. Under its sleek bonnet lies a formidable powerplant - the M159 V8 engine. This 6.3-liter beast, cleverly sited behind the front axle and ahead of the passenger compartment, is no stranger to extreme performance. Boasting an impressive displacement of 6,208 cc, this powerhouse is derived from AMG's legendary M156 block but boasts vital modifications that elevate its output to 571 horsepower (420 kW) at 6,800 rpm and a peak torque of 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) at 4,750 rpm. Compared to its standard engine counterpart, the SLS AMG's heart incorporates an innovative intake system, revised valves, camshafts, and a flow-optimized manifold design that significantly reduces exhaust backpressure. This marvel of engineering also relies on a dry sump lubrication system, proudly positioned at the vehicle's lowest point. The impressive fuel efficiency figures for this beast read 8l / 100 km in urban environments (equating to a respectable 7.69 km/l), making it not just a thrilling driving experience but also an economical one when conditions are right.
