Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster 2014 Oman Prices & Specs

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster debuted in 2011, a year after the Coupe. Renamed the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Roadster for 2013 with almost no changes, it is supposed to be an everyday-use supercar, a product of in-house development by AMG. The coupe's trademark 'gullwing' doors are lost here in favour of conventional doors, easing entry and exit. Underneath the long bonnet is the usual AMG-built 6.2-litre V8 engine, now upgraded by 20 hp in the GT, and mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automanual gearbox in this application. By the end of 2013, the GT was replaced by a GT Final Edition, identified by its big wing, carbon-fibre bonnet, lip spoiler and wheels. A lightweight structure molded largely from carbon-fibre and aluminium double-wishbone suspension form the basics of the SLS. Among other things, the centre console incorporates the AMG DRIVE UNIT, which enables SLS owners to customise their vehicle set-up, while the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission is operated by means of the E-SELECT lever. Beyond the usual power accessories and comfort features such as automatic a/c, "airscarf" headrests and cruise control, the simplistic interior can be customised in various colours, and can be fitted with options such as sports seats, metal trim, various leather choices, nicer paint and carbon-fibre appliqués. Further options include different 19-inch and 20-inch alloy wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes, pricey Bang & Olufsen stereo and a sports steering wheel.
