"While Mercedes doesn’t refer to the new SLS AMG as the “Gullwing”, it is absolutely the return of the famed automotive icon. With more than 560 horsepower, the SLS AMG is a track tamer nearly without equal, and its classic, sophisticated lines will attract car lovers of every stripe."—Official description[1]
The 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG - abbreviated as "M-B SLS AMG" - is a rear-wheel drive supercar by Mercedes-Benz.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 3 as part of the Stig's Garage Car Pack and as standard in all subsequent main series titles.
It is featured in Forza Horizon as part of the Pre-Order Car Pack.
Synopsis[]
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a front-engine, RWD supercar equipped with gullwing doors. Its name stands for "Sport Leicht Super" (lit. Sport Light Super). Between 2009 and 2014, the SLS AMG received other variants, including a high-performance Black Series variant.
The SLS AMG was succeeded by the Mercedes-AMG GT S in 2014.
Drivetrain[]
The first Mercedes-Benz designed and built from scratch entirely by AMG, the SLS AMG features a 6.2 L (6,208 cc) M159 V8 engine producing 571 hp (426 kW) and 479 ft·lb (650 N·m), which is a variant of the M156 engine and Mercedes-Benz claimed would be "the world's most powerful naturally aspirated production series engine" ever produced. The SLS AMG was also Mercedes-Benz's last naturally aspirated sports/supercar.
The SLS comes with only a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic that uses a carbon fiber shaft, and using a lightweight aluminum frame, the car weighs only 3571 lb (1620 kg) with standard wheels.
