Featuring an AMG 6.3 litre V8 front-mounted mid-engine vehicle, the SLS AMG is equipped with the world’s most powerful standard-specification eight-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. By switching to dry sump lubrication, design engineers have made it possible to mount the engine deep behind the front axle. This was the only way to eliminate the need for an oil pan normally located beneath the engine. In combination with the double-clutch transmission equipped with RACE START function, the unit delivers a unique level of performance. It is a thrilling, powerful and breathtaking experience. The vehicle’s outstanding dynamic qualities are enhanced by a lightweight aluminium frame and an extendable rear spoiler released at speeds above 120 km/h. This serves to further increase the downforce on the rear axle at high speeds and during fast cornering.
