Body and interior
The body shell is designed as a grid frame made of aluminum and weighing 241 kg, the outer skin of the vehicle is also made of aluminum. The two hinged doors each weigh 18 kg and have the door hinges small explosive devices. These allow you to blow off the doors after an accident when the vehicle comes to rest on the roof. The rescue forces the injured people is so much easier from the interior. The weight distribution between front and rear axle is in sports car typical ratio of 47 to 53 percent. As a development partner, the Austrian auto supplier Magna Steyr was commissioned to produce the body and provides them as well as double doors and flaps fully painted ( with the exception of some special colors) to AMG.
The body of the roadster was reinforced in the sill area on the windshield frame and at the center tunnel to compensate for the loss of the roof ( and of course the double doors ). The soft top is made of three-layer fabric ( in black, beige or red ) and opens within 11 seconds, even while driving up to 50 km / h
The interior design of the SLS AMG according to the manufacturer absorb elements from the design of an aircraft cockpit: centrally located instruments in pilot - optics, the driver sloping center console as the central control unit with aircraft typical controls ( the stick shift is similar to the thrust lever of a jet ) and four on jet engines reminiscent ventilation elements.
Engine and transmission
The engine with the AMG internal designation M 159 is a. Behind the front axle as a front mid-engine built naturally aspirated V8 engine with dry sump lubrication and 6208 cm3 Due to the dry sump lubrication, a particularly low mounting position of the motor is achieved. As a special feature, there is a newly developed intake tract. The maximum engine power output is 420 kW ( 571 hp) at an engine speed of 6800 per minute. The engine develops a maximum torque of 650 Newton meters and weighs 206 kilograms.
In transaxle design is found the mounted directly on the rear axle seven-speed dual -clutch transmission manufacturer Getrag. The transmission known as 7DCL750 is currently being built next to the SLS and the Ferrari 458. Engine and transmission are connected by a so-called torque tube - rigidly connected together - a one-piece tube in which rotates the 1640 mm long, 4 kg transaxle shaft from CFRP. A mechanical limited-slip differential is standard. For the transmission tuning are four different driving modes from "comfortable " to " sporty " is available. A so-called Race Start function enables Starts with optimum slip on the rear axle.
