The speedometer shows 240 km / h and the SLS AMG is quite stable when I go on the highway that connects Mexico Puebla to Oaxaca. I ride behind a Dodge HEMI the Policia Federal Mexico that opens the road flashing lights in action. It is in this context can not be more specific I contacted the SLS AMG Mercedes-Benz …

Look like a star Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 2012

With its door type ‘Gullwing’, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 2012 shows a mouth star. But this type of configuration presents some problems, since the threshold is relatively high and it is mandatory to enter the inside handle of the door and start to close before sitting down. All because once seated in the seat, the handle is out of reach. The driving position is rather low, which is perfect for a sporty car, and the seats offer excellent lateral support. The quality of materials used to make the cabin is blameless, as the quality of finish elsewhere and applied aluminum or carbon fiber optional further enhance the luxurious look of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 2012.

After my trial in Mexico, I also had the opportunity to drive the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 2012 in Quebec, and I can not count the times I dropped the glass just to hear the sound of the engine through the gears, then downshifting in the Ville-Marie tunnel … Side sensations, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 2012 does not belong.

Fast and accurate

On secondary roads, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 2012 shown remarkable aplomb and seems literally glued to the road. Its precise steering, its extremely rigid case and weight distribution – which is amazing for a front engined car since it amounts to 47% on the front and 53% rear – allow up easily the car on the ideal trajectory.

Braking is powerful and authoritative, especially with composite ceramic discs are optional at a cost of $ 14.200, the price of a compact car … You really roll at speeds much higher than the limits to approach the limits of the car, which is not to advise on public roads. That is why my colleague Marc Lachapelle is on a mission driving the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 2012, the mission was to push to the limit in completing several laps Sanair.

Displaying 1620 pounds to weighing, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 2012 is built on a space frame type chassis made entirely of aluminum that weighs only 241 pounds. This is the first car brand which has been entirely developed by AMG division, hitherto merely produce more efficient engines, suspension components, braking systems and aerodynamic kits for several Mercedes models Benz. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 2012 marks a significant transition for the AMG division, which has not only designed and developed with the coupe door type “Gullwing”, but also the model of the SLS roadster with conventional doors which will have its world premiere at the Salon Auto Frankfurt in September 2011.
