SLS AMG Roadster

The SLS AMG Roadster is manufactured by a subsidiary company under Mercedes-Benz. It is considered a luxury grand tourer automobile that replaced the SLS McLaren. It is considered by Mercedes to be the spiritual successor to the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing. This automobile was unveiled at the 2009 IIA, but sales began in mid-2010 in Europe for 177,310 british pounds and in the United States in mid-2011 for less than $200.000.
The SLS AMG is designed to be a modernized 300SL Gullwing by Gorden Wagener. This car has a very long front end, the passenger compartment is close to the rear axle and the rear of the car is short. The doors of the SLS AMG have adapted doors that swing open upwards on gas struts. The doors must also be closed manually because the engineers decided against auto closing due to the fact that it would add 90 pounds to the car. In case of a rollover these doors can also be completely detached to allow the ease of leaving the car.
