The SLS AMG GT

The FINAL EDITION model, built in a limited run of just 350 units, represents the last opportunity for customers to order a SLS AMG – while at the same time reflecting the unrivalled success story and unique scope offered by the first vehicle to be completely built by Mercedes-AMG. The super sports car, with its 435 kW (591 hp) AMG 6.3-litre V8 front-mid en- gine, offers a fascinating combination of truly exceptional design and equipment features. Exclusively developed Cup tyres enhance its dynamic performance.
The market launch will begin in March 2014. The super sports car will be available as either a Coupé or a Roadster and, once 350 units have been built, production of the SLS AMG model series will come to an end. Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH: “As the first car to be completely developed by AMG, the SLS AMG marked the begin- ning of a new era for our company. And now, in the form of the SLS AMG GT FINAL EDITION, we are offering our customers one final and extremely attractive variant of our super sports car. With its numerous carbon fibre-look body com- ponents, a further optimised aerodynamic balance and optional Cup tyres,  the SLS AMG GT fINAL EDITION has the ab- solute potential to fascinate.”

 

The special design of the SLS AMG GT fINAL EDITIoN ensures that it stands out in visual terms: the carbon fibre-effect bonnet with central air outlet, the carbon- fibre front splitter on the front apron, the fixed carbon-fibre rear aerofoil that is so reminiscent of the SLS AMG Coupé Black Series and the exclusive AMG forged light- alloy wheels make it a real head-turner. Par- ticularly in conjunction with the designo magno graphite matt paintwork that has been adopted from the collector’s model, the  SLS  AMG  GT3  “45th  ANNIVERSARY” (available as an option), the carbon fibre components and the AMG forged wheels have a distinctly sporty flair. To add to the distinctive visual impression when seen from behind, the struts of the rear apron are finished in high-gloss black.

New aerodynamic components com- prising a carbon-fibre bonnet, rear aerofoil and front splitter reduce the lift on both the front and the rear axle. As on the SLS AMG Coupe Black Series and the SLS AMG GT3, the carbon-fibre bonnet of the SLS AMG GT fINAL EDITIoN features a central air outlet. Apart from effectively dissipating engine heat, this outlet also increases downforce at the front axle and improves the Cd value. The engineers at AMG have utilised the vacuum effect to deliver the  double  benefit  of  dissipating the hot air from the engine compartment at the same time as drawing up the cool airflow from the vehicle’s underbody. The optimised aerodynamic balance not only improves the car’s potential on the racing circuit, but also contrib- utes to handling safety.

The AMG forged wheels in a cross- spoke design are available in two co- lour variants: painted matt black with a high-sheen finish or painted matt black with a high-sheen rim flange. Red-painted brake callipers provide an effective contrast. New “Dunlop Sport Maxx Race” Cup tyres in size 265/35 R 19 (front) and 295/30 R 20 (rear) are available on request as a no-cost option. These Cup tyres have been exclusively developed for Mercedes- AMG.  Not  only  do  these  improve steering precision: they also increase grip. The SLS AMG GT fINAL EDITIoN thus lends itself for use by aspiring racing drivers on private or closed-off circuits.

It is not only the exterior design and the engineering of the SLS AMG GT fINAL EDITIoN that will satisfy the most discerning of tastes, but also the interior: the high- quality ambience is characterised above all by the striking designo Exclusive leather in a diamond pattern that is used to upholster the centre panels of both the seats and the doors. Contrasting topstitching in silver coordinates per- fectly with the black leather upholstery, the silver seat belts and the black floor mats edged in silver leather. Carbon- fibre trim comes as standard.

A particularly exclusive detail is the “AMG fINAL EDI- TIoN – 1 of 350” badge on the carbon-fibre centre con- sole. A further high-quality feature, both to look at and to feel, is the so-called “3D seam”: a fine strip of Alcantara® set into the leather-covered instrument panel demonstrates the attention to detail that is so typical of Mercedes-AMG. Contrasting topstitching skilfully hand-worked in silver adds the finishing touch to the 3D seam, underlining the craftsmanship involved. The AMG Performance steering wheel in Alcantara® with silver 12 o’clock markings all- round and a high-gloss black real metal insert matches the high-gloss black surrounds of the air vents. The sports seats feature an embossed AMG emblem in the head restraints. Since its world premiere in 2009 the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG has won numerous awards of international sig- nificance. Not least on the basis of its breathtaking design and acknowledged superb driving dynamics, the super sports car from Mercedes-AMG is today already deemed to be a classic of the future.
