2009 Worlds Best Super Car – The AMG Mercedes Benz SLS
As a prestigious company, AMG was created in 1960’s in Germany by two noted engineers that has previous works with Mercedes and they produced amazing racing engines. Design and testing of brand new engines was the new AMG’s early role. They expanded their business into building bespoke road cars, based upon standard Mercedes cars but it wasn’t until 1993 that the first true AMG Mercedes Benz was unveiled with the C36.
You may notice that when you compare the rates of AMG Mercedes SLS as against the production models, the upgrades do add to the price ticket.
Through the early 2000s, AMG Mercedes Benz focused on two engines, both V8, both 5.5.liter, one standard four stroke and the other a supercharged engine. In early 2006 however, AMG scrapped both of these versions of M113 engine and exchanged it for the M156. Again a V8, 5.4ltr, but updated and also now available in a turbo charged configuration.
The tiniest, current, turbocharged AMG Mercedes SLS is the G55 and its standard V8 powered sibling is the SLK55.For those looking for a slightly larger AMG Mercedes Benz, the SL63 and the E63 are the models on offer, unless you really want to make an impression? In which case, the mystical Black Series CLK63 is top of the tree.As if this wasn’t enough, there is always AMG’s offering of a true super car!
It is now available in Europe, but sad to say it will be for public release come spring of 2010 in the US.S., the AMG Mercedes Benz SLS, a gull winged super sports car is unleashed. With a top speed of 197 mph, and that’s electronically limited! The SLS prides a 6.3ltr V8 that develops 571 hp at 6800 rpm.
