Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 2010–2014 car dimensions: 4638 mm long, 1939 mm wide and 1262 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,695 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 176 litres.
The cabin has a driver-focused layout with AMG sports seats that are heated and power adjustable with memory, a flat-bottom performance steering wheel with shift paddles, and the COMAND APS system showing info on a 7-inch colour display operated by a centre console controller plus voice control. THERMOTRONIC provides two-zone automatic climate control. Cruise control comes with SPEEDTRONIC limiter. PARKTRONIC parking sensors are standard. A reversing camera and blind spot warning are available on some grades. No Android Auto or Apple CarPlay from the factory.
Boot space is 176 litres behind the two seats. No folding rear seats as it is a pure two-seater coupe.
Payload is listed at 240 kg. No towing capacities are published as the car is not set up for towing. An optional AMG performance suspension with modified springs and dampers is available for track use.
The cabin uses hand-sewn designo nappa leather on AMG sports seats with magnesium backrests, two-zone cushions for firm outer bolsters and softer centres, four-way lumbar, and multi-way electric adjustment plus memory. Alcantara lines the roof and pillars. An AMG performance flat-bottom steering wheel, jet-style E-Select lever and wing-shaped dash with metal or carbon trim create a tight, driver-focused cockpit with solid long-distance support.
Combined fuel use 13.2 l/100 km on Super Plus petrol, Euro 5, 308 g/km CO2, 85-litre tank.
ASSYST service interval indicator standard.
Eight airbags standard: adaptive front, knee, side and windowbags plus belt tensioners and force limiters.
Aluminium spaceframe with steel reinforcements, 3-stage ESP, ABS, BAS and tyre-pressure monitoring.
The 6.2-litre V8 runs on Super Plus and returns a combined 13.2 l/100 km under the NEDC cycle used in Europe, with CO2 at 308 g/km and an 85-litre tank. Urban figures sit near 19.9 l/100 km and extra-urban near 9.3 l/100 km.
ASSYST displays the next service due. The schedule is based on time or distance and can be carried out at any Mercedes workshop with the correct diagnostic equipment. Correct oil grade is required for the hand-built engine.
Passive safety rests on the aluminium spaceframe reinforced with steel in key zones, eight airbags, belt tensioners and force limiters. Active systems include 3-stage ESP with ASR, ABS and Brake Assist. No Euro NCAP score was published for this low-volume model.
The car is a pure two-seater with a 176-litre boot. Gullwing doors need overhead clearance. Ceramic brakes and forged wheels were optional weight savers. Regular dealer or specialist care keeps the dual-clutch gearbox and spaceframe in good order.
