The first time AMG was given carte blanche to build a road-going car in its entirety was an important moment for the magic-makers of this Mercedes division. So they proceeded to trawl through the company’s archives, and found the records for the Le Mans-winning W194, and its road-going equivalent, the W198 300SL. Then, they brought the concept firmly up-to-date, to produce a shape entirely at home in the 21st century - although they left in place the W198’s gull-wing doors - and instantly created the SLS AMG’s first big talking point. Then, as if the concept hadn’t made the car desirable enough, F1 took delivery of a number of SLSs to use as pace cars for each race.
The long bonnet of the almost all-aluminium body stretches out far past your eyeline, so that, if you ever get the chance to flex the muscles of the 6.2-litre V8 out front, the feel is that of a road-going missile, with 60mph coming and going in just 3.9 seconds from the launchpad - sorry, start line. A Black Edition model came along in 2013, with the power ramped up from 563 to 622bhp, and other engine tweaks and weight-saving measures, which tested to the limit, aided rear-end stability. A race-bred exhaust system is one of the few modifications that’s really needed on such a massively-endowed car, and if you want to push your SLS AMG to the limit, at Scuderia Car Parts we can supply you with an exhaust system which will stand up to the car’s demands.
