The 2012 Mecedes-Benz SLS AMG - The Perfect Roadster

This speaking frankly it really was and still is in a class all by itself. No one had any idea Mercedes-Benz has such a revolutionary idea tucked away for their 2012 year. The year started off like every other automotive speaking then this bombshell dropped. The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. 

Few of us are old enough to actually appreciate the rich nostalgic history behind the original design. This $300,000 machine is actually paying homage to another Mercedes-Benz from a time long since gone. The original 300SL introduced the now famous Gull-Wing doors. The original made its debut back in 1954 closely followed the Roadster version in 1957.

Controlled Thunder - As most Supercars in its class the 2012 SLS AMG along with advanced engineering and countless features it is also stuffed with an insanely powerful  V-8 6.2 liter engine under the hood.  Which most owners found out that an engine of such power and complexity creates an almost symphonic rhythm when out on the open road at or around 100-120 Miles Per Hour. Thousands of parts all perfectly performing in a perfectly synchronized harmony to produce a mind blowing 479 lb-ft of Torque. Top speed is limited to 197 mph...0-60 in 3.7 Seconds...

 Entirely hand built the initial process is started at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Graz, Austria then shipped to the finishing plant in Sindelfingen, Germany. The Mercedes-Benz plant in Sindelfingen employs over 28,000 highly specializes craftsman and workers. Each SLS AMG is completed and refined here before being shipped to select showrooms Worldwide.

Specifically hand built in a limited number for a limited audience. The SLS takes the traditional Mercedes appeal applied the 3L's. They made it "Longer, Lower and Lighter". Either going 80 MPH or at a dead standstill the car seems to clear the road by just a few inches while the hood itself is half the length of the car. The Feather weight frame makes for a light lean strong mean machine.

With all the Technical aspects out of the way lets get to the car. This is a car you could drive in every occasion. A spectacular night life in every aspect the ultimate scene stealer. Perfect for office commuting, especially in  a nice Silver or Black it would align you with the highly professional image you currently project at the office.

The car itself has limitless applications all over society.

A true pleasure to manipulate from behind the wheel. The raw power is felt openly while the steering itself is pure complete in every turn. All ready to be brought to standstill via the state of the art braking system designed especially for the SLS. A true Roadster that finally restores lost the art of driving.

A true reflection of both company heritage and tradition. A true down to Earth Roadster that doesn't have the intimidation factor most supercars like Lamborghini and Ferrari have. It;s simply a Gull-Winged Mercedes nothing fancy. It doesn't have mega V-12's that come in most cars in this class have or the outrageous styling we tend to get from the Italian Sportscar makers. Instead it has what feels like your own personal V-8 casually throwing around 563 HP a controlled explosion for lack of a better explanation.  as you accelerate.  

This is true Mercedes-Benz in every way shape or form an instant classic. Another masterpiece from the German luxury car maker. By all definitions the perfect Roadster
