Picture of the SLR replacement SLS were released on to the internet a week before its official reveal at next week’s Frankfurt Motor Show. The SLS is inspired from the original 300SL Gullwing, which is one of the most prettiest cars ever made and it shows in the SLS.
Power comes from the 6.3L V8 which churns out 563hp and 480 lb-ft torque through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. SLS will hit 60 in 3.7 seconds and will go up to top speed of 197mph, braking it from there would be carbon ceramic discs.
The styling is thrilling and old school with the Gullwing door. The entire design makes justification to the SL300. But the side profile around the B-Pillar reminds me of Ferrari 275, which is one of the most beautiful Ferraris ever made. The body proportion is similar to the Chrysler Crossfire.
