We made an exception with this car<br />
and paid our engineers to daydream<br />
When do any engineers normally get the chance to live out their automotive<br />
fantasies without any bounds? When they started work the <strong>Mercedes</strong>-<strong>AMG</strong><br />
developers sat down with that famous blank sheet of paper yet ended up taking<br />
advantage of this unique opportunity in a record time of just 37 months.<br />
<strong>The</strong> result: a revolutionary super sports car whose every detail has been designed<br />
with driving dynamics in mind. <strong>The</strong> high-performance <strong>AMG</strong> engine, just 205 kg<br />
when dry, has been installed as a front mid-engine – and sits as low as possible<br />
<strong>SLS</strong> <strong>AMG</strong> / 46 . 47<br />
in the vehicle. <strong>The</strong> drive system with a rear-wheel-drive transaxle helps achieve<br />
near-perfect weight distribution between the front and rear axle. And the body<br />
was constructed around these key components – as an ultra-light yet extraordinarily<br />
rigid structure whose gross weight has been significantly reduced thanks<br />
to intelligent optimisation. Pure driving dynamics – better than our engineers could<br />
ever have imagined in their wildest dreams.
