Marsedes Benz SLS AMG Design Purist, DistinCtive and Passionate 2011


The short overhangs feed through into the proportions, just as does the design of the super sports car with its low slung front mid engine set well With its purist design the new SLS AMG reflects the philosophy of contemporary sports car engineering: the bonnet which measures just under two metres, the low greenhouse positioned well to the rear and the short rear end with an extendable aerofoil are just as powerful a reminder of the superlative dynamism as the long wheelbase, the wide track and the large wheels. Design: purist, distinctive and passionate. The distinctive styling of the new Mercedes Benz SLS AMG enthrals with its passionate sportiness and reinterprets the breathtaking lines of the Mercedes Benz 300 SL one of the outstanding design icons of the Mercedes Benz brand. At the same time, the new Mercedes Benz SLS AMG paves the way for the design philosophy of forthcoming Mercedes Benz sports cars", says Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Mercedes Benz Cars.

Our aspiration is to utilise this interpretation to create the classic of tomorrow and roll out the most alluring sports car of the 21st century.
