Test drive Mercedes Benz SLS AMG C197 since 2010 compartment
Wings? Legs? The main tail! We polygon on the rear -wheel drive Mercedes Sls AMG
No need to squander! Smooth, smoother! With her, how do you need a girl, what are you jerking like that? .. brake! Again, I was late with the steering wheel of gas! Gas! Open, the instructor votes. The circle after the circle is groping for the track laid on the site of the FSO-School Auto Poligon in Kupavna. Mercedes here conducts safe driving trainings for everyone, and now has organized a racing test to his new SLS AMG brainchild.
The pulling of the Mercedes SLS AMG 352 hp per ton of mass! However, acceleration to a hundred remained, like Slr Mclaren, 3.8 seconds. 200 already 11.1 seconds after the start !!! So in the Sprint Merce can compete with the Audi R8 V10 (3.9 C to 100 km/h) and Nissan GT-R (3.5 C) and Porsche 911 Turbo (3.7 s)
You don’t even expect meetings with such cars, you often dream of the most desired one is the most unexpected. And although the invitation to meet SLS came a month, the day before the test, I realized that I was not ready for a meeting with him. No, I have known the technical characteristics by heart since they appeared in the public domain. The list of applied know-how and solutions settled in my head forever I am not ready morally. He knocks on his head alternately: finally! I do not believe! Finally! Wait, wait! SLS? Tomorrow? Really tomorrow?
Sales have already started. And purchases? The price of the issue is only 11,500,000 wooden. These are three rear-wheel Class with a 3.5-liter engine! Nes -blessed? And how you wanted. Technofetish requires investment. Fetish. And what else can the uncompromising struggle for kilograms and perfect weightweight be called? SLS AMG A totality of the eccentricity of dissenters. This is a car from another reality in which there is no place for everyday life and compromises. SLS AMG perfectionism, brought to the extent of its highest manifestation.
Carrying spatial structure weighing 250 kilograms. In the back of steel only the front racks and even a couple of details, everything else is aluminum. The latter for every taste: cast, profiled, leaf power unit Transaxle is stretched over almost the entire length of the car. The front engine within the base, the robotic gearbox AMG SpeedShift DCT with a double clutch in the same block with the main transmission and a self -locking differential. The drive is naturally rear.
The engine and the box are strictly connected by an aluminum pipe, inside of which a 4.7-kilogram carbon-plastic card of the last shaft with the crankshaft is renewed, therefore, rotates with the same frequency. To achieve the perfect weightlift and help the rear axle, the transmission was slightly taken outside the base and placed closer to the rear overhang.
Doors are a completely separate topic. You need to be more accurate with them. Firstly, unbending, you can prettyly apply your head to the door in forgetfulness, the height from the ground to the lower edge of the open wing of 1.5 meters. Secondly, sitting down in the car, you need to remember that it is better not to hold on to the edge of the roof where the seal is laid. Sloping the gate, the brush can be very pinch. Cinematics are such that the doors can be easily raised in any parking lot or in a regular garage.
But what if the supercar overturns and falls on the roof? Indeed, in this case, the wings cannot be opened! The engineers went for a trick. After an overkill, the locks are unlocked automatically, and the loops are shot using electromagnetic actuators
Leather, carbon, Alcantara Bang & Olufsen also on the verge of fetish
Well, that's enough to talk faster behind the wheel! In order to get for him, just, bending down, jerking over an automatically leaving pen. When the locks are unlocked, the handles are extended, they are flush with the surface of the doors after the car moves
I open the door, I climb over a tall massive threshold, decorated with carbon fiber ... mda-ah, with radiculitis, you can’t get here. I clap the door, adjust the bucket (it with a magnesium frame) and the steering column. The basic seats are convenient and are well kept in corners, for the surcharge they can be equipped with active side support, which holds the riders even more tightly. The side rollers are inflated with speed and in corners. Wait! Wait! The brain still refuses to believe. SLS? Now?! Now?..
Engine start button. A delicious roar. Selector in Drive. Down with the handbrake is ready! The first went. GAZ, and SLS with my telovye Aki Hurricane is carried away to conquer the track laid on the landfill. The avalanche of acceleration, blood casts from the hands and legs five seconds from the start, on the speedometer 130 and it is time to slow down the turn, otherwise you will miss. The body left, the brain remained to wait at the start. The machine under the control of eyeballs and the vestibular apparatus, so the connection is better shorter.
Newton-meters developed by the engine grind the robotic seven-speed AMG SpeedShift DCT gearbox, which is over the rear axle for the best hanging. It is combined in one crankcase with a self -locking differential and rigidly connected to the engine of a pipe, inside which a carbon cardan shaft is missed. In mode C (Controlled Efficency, controlled efficiency) the reaction to the control effect of gas is comfortable, the robot prefers increased gears, and sorts them out smoothly. For the highway and the city of traction above the roof. The mode of S is more dynamic gas response more acutely, switching is 20%faster. Here the motor is spinning before cutting off. In S+, the box is still 20% more speedy, while the contrasting system is the most loose. Electronics are in no hurry with adjustments, allowing us to slip in turns
One turn, the second, the third in the exhaust system during the transition from one transmission to another, compressed gases are bubbling. The turn over the bend comes mutual understanding. For nothing, that the amusing is perfect (47:53 in favor of the rear axle) turned a short steering wheel a little and the muzzle obediently dives into a given trajectory. As if there are not 1620 kilograms at all, gas, straight. And now everything is 180, it's time to slow down. The landfill for the supercar is clearly not enough. Not on Senka caftan. To wave on it, at least in the goat!
In the S+ mode, the reaction to gas is sharper, the transmission switches faster, and the insured electronics makes it possible to well slip a little at the entrance at the speed, and you go into gliding with all four wheels. First, on the mouse with barely noticeable breakdowns and a squeak, the more you are mistaken, the more you glide. (Or vice versa?) It is worth giving gas a little, as the rear axis immediately leaves in the skid, but here everything is under control, the skid is extinguished immediately, it is worth pumping the steering wheel in the right direction and release the accelerator.
In a completely manual transmission mode, it makes no sense to shuffle, in the automatic S+ the speed of switching is and so maximum. The machine is good because it does not forget to switch to a promoting one, when the tachometer scale ends again, the steering wheel petals are useful only when you need to go down several gears down when braking before turning and open on the desired gear.
We drove on civilian cars. But the Mercedesians offer an even more uncompromising option. Optionally, supercar can be equipped with a more strict AMG Performance sports suspension and hardy brakes (they can be distinguished by golden calipers) with ceramic disks. It will already be a hundred percent car for conquering racing tracks, everyday shit in such a supercar can turn into torture.
Aerodynamics are far from ideal. CX coefficient is a lot of 0.36 units. High resistance is due to a large cross -sectional area, which is difficult to designed for the engineering space (here are three radiators) and the presence of a spoiler. At the maximum 317 km/h, the car has a pressure force of 20 kg.
The 176-liter trunk is a space concluded between the arches of 20-inch rollers, a gearbox, a huge muffler, an 85-liter tank and a plastic lid in which the spoiler and the GPS antenna were perished
The prohibitive rhythm of exhausting tests for the endurance of the new Mercedes SLS began in July eighth. The testers drove a new product on landfills, saw SLS and the sun reduced by the sun in the sultry California deserts, and icy loops of Norwegian serpentines. Several times Supercar fell under the shelling of photocors on finishing trials on the Nürburgringes of the very beginning, everyone was perplexed, how the car similar to Dodge Viper. However, it was not surprising that Mercedes began working on the novelty before breaking up the marriage union with Chrysler. For the power structure and aggregates of the SLS test samples, Vaeper's fragments of the body were the ideal matrix
SLS AMG is not cheap. The starting cost of the model of 11.5 million rubles can introduce anyone into a stupor. For this money, you can buy a couple of the most expensive Nissan GT-R each for 4.2 million. Yes, it is condo, but it is all -wheel drive. Well, what, but you will not be deprived of dynamics. Even the obstinate rear -engine Porsche 911 Turbo with a four -wheel drive is cheaper than 7.6 million. Optimal than the rest, perhaps, the Audi R8 V10 Quattro for 6.2 million.
It, thanks to the medium -ground layout, aluminum power structure and a complete drive, is clearly preferable both on the track and on slippery coatings in everyday life. How much remains in the SLS AMG asset? The rear -wheel drive, wings, carbon cardan and three -beam star and, of course, exclusivity. For that kind of money, it (though a slightly different order) has perhaps the more dynamic Porsche 911 GT2 RS (11.5 million). And there is another 517-horsepower rear-wheel drive aristocrat manual assembly Aston Martin DBS. We have a machine with a machine gun from 8.9 million.
A processed atmospheric 6.3-liter eight AMG is an enhanced crankshaft with a new bed, forged pistons and a lubricant system with a dry crankcase. Thanks to the lubricant system, the SLS motor feels calmer on the racing highway. Large transverse and longitudinal accelerations to the unit in a do not care, there will be no oil starvation. The gas distribution mechanism has been modernized, the release system has become different. With the altered control program, the engine power was raised from 525 to 571 hp, and the torque from 630 to 650 Newton meters. There are more than 120 changes in the SLS AMG engine, the motor received its own index M 159. Fuel consumption compared to SLR McLaren has increased slightly and is in a mixed cycle of 13.2 liters per hundred kilometers of the journey
