Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a front mid-engine, two-seat, limited production sports car developed by Mercedes-AMG, the performance division of Mercedes-Benz, with help from the racing driver David Coulthard. SLS stands for Super Leicht Sport. It was the first Mercedes-Benz automobile designed and built from scratch entirely by AMG, and was styled as a modern successor to the 300 SL Gullwing, including gull-wing doors that open upwards. It was introduced at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show with a hand-built 6.2-litre V8 engine, the M159, and a rear-mounted seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Body variants over its life included the coupe, a roadster, the GT3 racing version, the Black Series and the SLS AMG Electric Drive. Production ended in 2014 with the SLS AMG GT Final Edition.
