The trembling has not subsided since Mercedes-Benz released the C 63 AMG Black Coupé Series and it seems Merc AMG is on a serious power trip. Mercedes-Benz has revealed yet another AMG powerhouse sports car and this time it’s the new SLS AMG GT and I can hear those dogs barking again.
The SLS AMG GT is yet another brutal creation and comes fitted with an AMG 6.3-litre V8 petrol engine that pumps out an awesome 435kW at 6 800rpm. It’s not short of torque either and produces 650Nm at 4 750rpm. This incredible power is transferred to the road or track via an AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission. However, this power is not particularly efficient and the SLS AMG GT will guzzle fuel at a rate of 13.2 litres/100km or more and will spew CO2 into the atmosphere at a rate of 308g/km.
Regardless, the SLS AMG GT is super fast and can hit 100km/h in only 3.7 seconds. It will go on to reach 200km/h in only 11.2 seconds and will clock an electronically limited top speed of 320km/h.
The design is distinctly race inspired and the gullwing doors give the SLS AMG a bad ass finishing touch. The interior is mostly black and race fitted with AMG sports seats. Red elements such as the seatbelts, centre console and door panels are complemented with contrasting stitching on the sport seats.
