Mechanically, the SLS is unlike any other Mercedes-Benz coupe, including the SLR Roadster. A feature it shares with it is that it takes the engine entirely behind the front axle and ahead of the cockpit (picture).
The eight-cylinder engine is a ‘V’ to 90 º. Has given 6,208 cc and 571 hp at 6,800 rpm (the maximum engine speed is 7,200 rpm). Is atmospheric, indirect injection.

The SLS so impressed by what you can do on the straight and curved. Pedal is fully entitled to in a few seconds is rolling at a speed well above the maximum allowed and that things happen to an abnormally high rate.
According to our measurements, the minimum time required to move from 80 to 120 km / h is 2.2 seconds. This data is very good, but not less than that measured at Nissan GT-R, which according to official data is less powerful (485 hp) and heavier. GT-R that it will only speed up is possible because almost certainly give more power than stated by the manufacturer.
