Recipient
of more than a dozen automotive awards already, the 2011 Mercedes-AMG SLS
awaits at the first name in
Montreal Mercedes dealers, Silver Star Mercedes Benz.
The
high-performance brand of Mercedes Car Group, Mercedes-AMG produces nothing but
the finest and most individualized luxury vehicles. The SLS is one of the most anticipated
vehicles to ever roll off Mercedes-AMG assembly lines, and, with good reason.
Its
striking design and performance come together in an homage to Mercedes sports
cars of years past, with a special nod toward the 300 SL born in 1954.
Beneath
the hood, an AMG 6.3-liter, V8 engine roars as it churns out 563 horsepower and
479 lb.-ft of torque. All that power
allows the SLS to accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds.
The
SLS has an aluminum space frame body with gullwing doors, the feature that most
overtly calls out to its 1950s counterpart.
It also features a sports chassis with aluminum double-wishbone
suspension that provides superb handling, while its low center of gravity also
emphasizes its sports car roots.
The
SLS most recently earned the AUTO BILD Design Award for 2010, chosen by
hundreds of thousands of readers of German automotive magazine, Auto Bild. It also won Plus X awards for its high
quality and design. The Plus X Awards
are determined by a panel of 144 jurors from 32 countries, who judge over 1,000
products and choose the best based on innovation, quality, design, ease of
operation and functionality, ergonomics and ecology.
Though
too numerous to mention them all, additional accolades for the 2011 Mercedes
SLS also include "Best New Product - 2009" at the Frankfurt
International Motor Show, "GT Car of the Year" from Top Gear, and
"Best Dream Machine" from MotorWeek TV's Driver's Choice Awards.
Montreal Mercedes Benz enthusiasts
can experience this exciting throwback in person at Silver Star Mercedes
Benz.
