Mercedes-Benz today launched its flagship super sports car for the Indian market: the SLS AMG.India is amongst the first right hand drive markets to launch the Gullwing super sports car within the first few weeks of its production.

The gullwing door design was pioneered on the Mercedes-Benz 300SL way back in the 1950s. The best of technology from Mercedes-Benz is on offer on the SLS AMG. An aluminium spaceframe body, AMG-derived 6.3-litre V8 front-mid-engine developing 571 hp peak output, 65 kgm of torque, seven-speed double-declutch transmission, sports suspension and a kerb weight of 1620 kilograms – this superlative combination guarantees super driving dynamics. The 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' SLS AMG accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, before going on to a top speed of 317 km/h (electronically limited).
