It is said that Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Gullwing is to pass a long process before finally realized. Five years have benn passed since the the first car is still a concept and now proudly Mercedes Benz presented the product to be evidence that the Mercedes Benz can also look very sporty. And this gullwing is also designed different from Mercedes Benz products before.
Philosophy wich was announced from the beginning is to make a car is with a weight as light as possible but the construction is as solid as possible and not two things that can go hand in hand. From the concept finally found a solution using alumunium space frame and alumunium body shell. Bodu made by Magna Steyr in Austria, wich also donated the design of this seagull wings. Car body is also sent to Sindelfingen, Germany to be assembled with other components.
Machine that's mounted in this car is V8 DOHC machine with capacity 32 valve 6.2 liter, same as munted in AMG Hummer. This machine doesn't simply adopted but it has undergone many modifications including the use Dry-Sump Lubrication, repair to the camshaft, crankcase, crankshaft, and exhaust gas symtems. The result is this machine could spit out the power of 563 hp.
Combined with a total weight of only arround 1.630kg, no wonder if the gullwing car is capable reaching speed 100km/hour in just 3.7 seconds. Data is also mentioned that this car can reaxh speed of almost 315 km/hour. With this reliable engine, fuel consumption obviously can not be to frugal. But atl east for one liter of fuel, this gullwing is still able to cover the distance of about 9 km. Of course it still depends on traffic flow condition and the way yaou drive.
Car and driver which had tested the car commented this car is more fit for use for consumption on the highway than in the circuit.
