The legend returns, one could write, looking at the wicked Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in bright red, which was exhibited at the Frankfurt fair. Its special feature, which immediately catches the eye, is the door fixed in the roof, which opens upwards and evokes in us the association of gull wings. A sporty two-seater with doors of this type, which at the time bore the designation 300 SL, was already produced by Mercedes more than fifty years ago. In addition to the doors, the newcomer received a few other design features from its predecessor - the most noticeable is the wide engine mask with a large three-pointed star. The basis of its body - the space cage - is made entirely of aluminum, which helps to reduce the weight while maintaining the same strength. Under the long engine hood hides a 6.3-liter V8 engine with a maximum power of 420 kilowatts (571 "horses") and a maximum torque of 650 Nm, which was "styled" in Mercedes' AMG sports workshop. The engine's brutal power is transferred to the road via a sequential 7-speed AMG speedshift DCT dual-clutch transmission. All this is a guarantee of unparalleled sporting pleasure. We would not even lose words about the prestige of the interior. Let's also note that the opening of liftgates was also tested in underground garages - if it is built according to standards, there should be no fear of "scratching the door".
