To help promote the SLS AMG Roadster, Mercedes gave TV star and comedian Jay Leno an opportunity to exclusive test drive the new SLS AMG Roadster and the SLS AMG E-Cell.
In an interview, Leno said “I knew about the test track in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim from films in which Mercedes sedans like the 220 SE or the 300 SEL 6.3 were driven through the banked curve. I have always wanted to see this for real. It took me over 40 years to do it, but now I’m here! It’s fantastic to drive the latest AMG models here on the test track today.”
As you know , the SLS is equipped by a 6.3-liter V8 engine with 563 hp and 650 Nm of torque, along with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The car accelerates from 0-96 km/h in 3.7 seconds and reached a limited top speed of 317 km/h.
