Test Drive Mercedes Benz SLS AMG GT since 2012 coupe

Wings? Legs? Main tail! Polygoning on rear-wheel drive Mercedes SLS AMG

Do not break out! Smart, smasher! With her, as you need with a girl, what are you so twitching? .. Tormeosi! Again late with the wheel of gas! Gas! Open, mowles instructor. The circle behind the circle is groping the track, laid on the platform of the Flu-Schnolarign in Kupavne. Mercedes here spends safe driving training for everyone, and now organized a racing test to its new SLS AMG brain.


Mercedes SLS AMG 352 LS Tractor on a ton of mass! However, overclocking until hundreds remained, like SLR McLaren 3.8 seconds. 200 after 11.1 seconds after the start !!! So in the Sprint MERS can compete with Audi R8 V10 (3.9 ° C to 100 km / h) and Nissan GT-R (3.5 c) and Porsche 911 Turbo (3.7 s)

Meetings with such machines are not even waiting for them, you dream about them often the most desired turns out to be the most unexpected. And although the invitation to acquaintance with SLS came for a month, a day before the test, I realized that I was not ready for a meeting with him. No, technical characteristics I know by heart since then, as they appeared in free access. List of know-how and solutions seized in the head forever I am not ready morally. In the head alternately knocks: finally! I do not believe! Finally! Wait, wait! SLS? Tomorrow? Really tomorrow?

Sales have already started. And shopping? The price of the issue is all about 500,000 wooden. These are three rear-wheel drive S-grade with a 3.5-liter motor! Not slave? And how did you like. Technofetish requires investment. Fetish. And how else can you call an uncompromising struggle for kilograms and perfect weighting? SLS AMG A combination of the originality of dissenters. This is a car from another reality in which there is no place for ordinary and compromise. SLS AMG Perfectionism, brought to the degree of its highest manifestation.

Carrier spatial structure weighing 250 kilograms. In the body, steel only front racks and a couple more details, everything else aluminum. The latter for every taste: cast, profiled, sheet power unit TRANSAXLE stretches almost for the entire length of the car. In front of the base, a robotic transmission transmission AMG Speedshift DCT with a double grip behind in one block with the main transmission and self-locking differential. Drive naturally rear.

The engine and the box rigidly connects the aluminum pipe, inside which the 4.7-kilogram carbon walls are messed with the latter with the crankshaft, is tough, therefore, and rotates with the same frequency. To achieve perfect weighting and helping the rear axle, the transmission has been a little taken out of the base and placed closer to the rear scene.

Doors are a completely separate topic. You need to be careful. Firstly, when the door of forgetfulness can be pretty applied to the door on forgetfulness, the height from the ground to the lower edge of the open wing is 1.5 meters. Secondly, sitting in the car you need to remember that behind the edge of the roof, where the seal is laid, it is better not to stay. By slamming the gate, you can pinch the brush. Kinematics is such that the doors can easily raise on any parking or in the usual garage.

And what if the supercar is a leaf and lay on the roof? After all, in this case, the wings can not be opened! Engineers went to the trick. After Overkil, the locks are unlocked automatically, and the loops are shooting with electromagnetic actuators


Leather, carbon, alcantara audio system Bang & Olufsen, too, on the verge of fetish

Well, everything is enough to chat faster for the steering wheel! To get for it, you need to, just, bent, getting down to rush for the automatically traveling handle. When the locks are unlocked, the handles are extended, flush with the surface of the doors, they hide after the car is touching

I swallow the door, climbing through the high massive threshold, separated by a carbon fiber ... Mda-Aaa, with a radiculitis not climb here. Shopping the door, adjusting the bucket for myself (it is with a magnesium frame) and the steering column. Basic seats are comfortable and perfectly held in turns, for surcharge, they can be equipped with active lateral support, which is even more tightly held by the saddles. Side rollers are inflated with increasing speed and turns. Wait! Wait! The brain still refuses to believe. SLS? Now?! Now?..

Engine start button. Svatic roar. Selector in Drive. Down with the handbrake is ready! The first went. Gas and SLS with my bodice Aki Hurricane is carried out to conquer the route laid at the test site. An avalanche of overclocking, blood varies from the hands and feet for five seconds from the start, on the speedometer 130 and it's time to slow down the turn, otherwise you melt. The torso left, the brain remained to wait at the start. The car under the control of the eyeballs and the vestibular apparatus, so better the connection is shorter.


Newton-meters developed by the engine grinding a robotic seven-step AMG Speedshift DCT gearbox, which is located above the rear axle. It is combined in one crankcase with self-locking differential and is tightly connected to the engine with a pipe, inside which carbon cards are messed. In the CONTROLLED Efficiency, controlled efficiency) of the reaction to the control action of gas is comfortable, the robot prefers elevated transmissions, and moves them smoothly. For the route and the city of traction above the roof. M mode is more dynamic than gas responses sharper, switching faster by 20%. Here the engine is spinning to the cutoff. In S + box, another 20% speed-fire, with the most dissolved control system. With adjustments, the electronics is not in a hurry here, allowing you to slip in the devices

One turn, the second, the third in the exhaust system during the transition from one transmission to the other, then the compressed gases bubble. Turn around the turn comes mutual understanding. In the gift that the rave is ideal (47:53 in favor of the rear axle), a little turned a short steering wheel and the muzzle obediently dives into a given trajectory. As if there are no 1620 kilograms at all, gas, direct. And now 180, it's time to slow down. Polygon for supercar is clearly enough. Not in Senka Kaftan. Would we like at least in mechkovo!

In S + mode, the reaction to the gas is sharper, the transmission switches faster, and the insulating electronics makes it possible to some kind of slipped slightly slowed down at the entrance at the speed, and you go to the slide by all four wheels. First, on thoughts with barely noticeable disruptions and a pink, the more wrong with, the more slid. (Or vice versa?) It is worth a little to give Gas, as the rear axis jerk goes into a skidding, but here everything is controlled, the skid is shifted immediately, it is worth a swing steering wheel in the right direction and release the accelerator.

In fully manual transmission mode, there is no point in the transmission, in the automatic S + speed of switching and so maximal. The machine is good in that it does not forget to go to a higher, when the tachometer scale is once again ends with a tachometer's rods are useful only when it is necessary to descend to several gears down when braking before turning and opening in the desired transmission.

We traveled in civilians. But Mercedesovtsians offer an even more uncompromising option. Optionally, the supercar can be equipped with a more rigid sports suspension AMG Performance and endless brakes (they can be distinguished by golden calipers) with ceramic discs. This will already be a one hundred percent car for conquering racing tracks, casual riding on such a supercar can turn into torture.


Aerodynamics are far from ideal. CX coefficient is a significant 0.36 units. High resistance is due to a large cross-sectional area, complexly designed by the subcontrol space (here are three radiator) and the presence of a spoiler. At the maximum 317 km / h on the car there is a clamping force in 20 kg.

The 176-liter trunk is space concluded between the arches of 20-inch rollers, gearbox, a huge silencer, an 85-liter tank and a plastic lid, in which the spoiler and GPS antenna

The existent rhythm of the exhausting test runs on the endurance of the new Mercedes SLS began in July of the eighth year. The testes chasing the novelty on the landfills, saw the SLS and the asphalt-split asphalt in the hot california deserts, and the looped loops of Norwegian serpentines. Several times the supercar fell under the shelling of photographs on finishing tests on the Nürburgringess of the very beginning, all wondered how the car was like a proportion to Dodge Viper. However, nothing surprising, work on a novelty Mercedes began to break the marriage union with Chrysler. For the power structure and aggregates of test samples SLS perfect matrix were Viperovsky fragments of body

SLS AMG will not be cheap. The starting cost of the model of 11.5 million rubles can be introduced into a stupor of anyone. For this money you can buy a pair of the most expensive Nissan GT-R each at 4.2 million. Yes, he is Kondov, but he is all-wheel drive. Nothing, and the dynamics are deprived of not. Even the stroke rear-engine Porsche 911 Turbo with a four-wheel drive is cheaper than 7.6 million. Optimal than the others, perhaps, Audi R8 V10 Quattro for 6.2 million.

It, due to the medium-strand layout, aluminum power structure and full drive, is clearly preferable to the track, and on slippery coatings in everyday life. Is there a lot of SLS AMG? Rear wheel drive, wings, carbon cardan and three-grade star and, of course, exclusivity. For such money, it (though somewhat different) is, perhaps, more dynamic Porsche 911 GT2 RS (11.5 million). And there is another 517-strong rear-wheel drive aristocrat of a manual assembly Aston Martin DBS. Machine with a machine gun costs from 8.9 million.
Recycled atmospheric 6.3-liter AMG eight is a reinforced crankshaft with a new bed, forged pistons and a dry crankcase lubrication system. Thanks to the lubrication system, the Motor SLS feels calmer on the racing track. Large transverse and longitudinal accelerations of the aggregate, there will be no oil starvation. The gas distribution mechanism is upgraded, the release system has become different. With a modified engine power management program managed to raise from 525 to 571 hp, and torque from 630 to 650 Newton meters. In the SLS AMG motor, more than 120 changes, the motor received its own index M 159. Fuel consumption compared to SLR McLaren slightly increased in a mixed cycle of 13.2 liters per hundred kilometers of the way
