Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster released officially

The SLS AMG Roadster features a three-layered soft-top fabric roof that does not take up any cargo space, leaving the boot at a standard 173 litres whether the roof is up or down. The roof can be operated at speeds of up to 50km/h, and can be raised or lowered in 11 seconds. Customers can also choose three colours for the roof, black, beige and classic red.


The SLS AMG Roadster also features the same AIRSCARF system found on other Mercedes-Benz convertibles, which warms the head and neck areas of the driver and passenger by blowing hot air from vents integrated in the head restraints. Other standard features include a black Designo leather treatment, heated AMG sports seats, a detachable glass wind-stop, COMAND with Navigation and DVD player, anti-theft alarm system with tow-away protection and interior monitoring, dual-zone automatic climate control and the Keyless Go starting function.

Under the bonnet, the SLS AMG Roadster shares the same engine as the SLS AMG Coupe, with a 6.3-litre V8 mounted just behind the front axle and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that drives the rear wheels. The naturally-aspirated V8 engine produces 571bhp and 650Nm of torque. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster will be officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September this year, and go on sale shortly afterwards.
