Mercedes-Benz has presented the Canadian debut of the E-Class Cabriolet at the 2010 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto.
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a dramatic achievement with gull-wing doors and leather-bound interior. Power comes in the form of a 6.2-litre V8 engine developing 563 hp and 479 lb.-ft of torque. Aircraft design elements influence the graceful interior. Inside, magnesium backrests add flare and save weight. A one-of-a-kind masterpiece, the classic 300 SL is reborn for a new generation.
The ideal front/rear weight distribution of 47 to 53 percent and the vehicle’s low centre of gravity are testimony to the uncompromising sports car concept. The ‘Gullwing’ accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, before going on to a top speed of 317 km/h (electronically limited).
Its lightweight also makes it relatively fuel efficient, at least by super-car standards. Expect about 13.2 L/100 km.
