As you drive out of Chandler, heading north on the freeway through Phoenix, press the pedal to the floor and the burst of cool air across your shoulders won’t be the only thing giving you goose bumps. The 2012 Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS Roadster is powered by an exceptional 563 horsepower, 6.3 liter V8 engine. As the most powerful naturally aspirated engine available, it is capable of 479 lb-ft of torque. True to its AMG heritage, this engine is meticulously hand-crafted by a single engineer in the AMG plant in Germany. The company was started in 1967 with the sole purpose of building engines for racing vehicles and has stayed true to this goal even through today. With a top speed of 197 mph even with the top down, the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS Roadster is capable of running 0-60 in a mind-boggling 3.8 seconds! With specs like this, Chandler drivers might just be tempted to head south to stretch the 75mph speed limit along the 1-10 towards Tucson, Arizona just to see what it feels like to be thrown back in your seat as you roar down the highway passing other motorists in a blur of German-crafted automotive perfection!
In addition to the massively powerful engine, the new Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS Roadster also sports some impressive style and design updates. The exterior profile features the familiar straight form of the original Gullwing, but with a few minor changes. The front of the car appears to challenge everyone on the road with its aggressive styling. One clean smooth line runs from the front headlights to the tail of the car. The Gullwing-style doors have been replaced with standard doors to accommodate the soft top which is available in three colors, red, black, or beige. Made of three unique layers and fully weather-proof, it can be closed in just 11 seconds even when driving at speeds of up to 30 mph. With its short back end, and sporty open cockpit, you will not miss the Gullwing doors. The interior of the SLS is wrapped in premium contrast stitched Designo leather and features AMG sport seats. A wind guard behind the passenger seats can also be accessed to help better direct air flow around the driver and passenger when driving with an open air cockpit. With a low profile that seems to hug the road, the flat grid-like roads of Chandler or Phoenix just won’t cut it. You will find yourself taking long weekend drives through the winding canyons of Sedona, Arizona just to feel the car race seamlessly around each turn and bend in the road. Thanks to the AMG sport suspension, it also offers impressive comfort and handling. Best of all, Phoenix drivers can immerse themselves in the fresh scent of the pines or listen to the sound of the river as they tour Flagstaff with the top down! After all, Mercedes-Benz built this car not just for speed, but to allow drivers to really enjoy all the journey has to offer!
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS Roadster will be available in the fall of 2011. In the Phoenix area, the local Mercedes-Benz of Chandler dealership will have at least one model available and is now filling orders!
