So let’s compare the Mercedes coupe and the convertible. The notable disparity is that the convertible version spied lacks the suave Gullwing doors featured on its coupe predecessor, replaced by standard doors. It could be a James Bond like car, but it is very ideal for warm weather destinations. We perceived that it would make a graceful addition to any kind of fleet of for rent cars, adding a very trendy yet sporty alternative to appeal to the buying public.
If the rumors are true, the door marks the only difference between the SLS AMG coupe and the SLS AMG convertible. Both are believed to be a feature the similar 6.2-liter V8 engine capable of 563 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque.
For the 0-60 test, Mercedes SLS AMG is a very impressive pick.8 seconds, and that leaves us with the guesswork that the convertible version will lag somewhat behind, at a time interval of at least 4 seconds.
It is always a welcome addition when a great supercar paves the way to a “convertible” or often named “roadster” version of itself. The market for the most exotic and expensive convertibles will definitely rise to a boom this year!
