SLS AMS & Sport Auto - Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG


The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (C197 / R197) is a front mid-engine, 2-seater, limited production sports car developed by the Mercedes-AMG division of Mercedes-Benz, with the assistance of David Coulthard. The car is the successor to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. SLS stands for "Super Leicht Sport" (Super Light Sport).
10 years ago not many cars did 0-100km/h below 4 seconds. Funny, today 'every' sportscars is doing this. Its called progess.
Now a few are routinely breaking the 3 second barrier. Veyron started it all (production form at least), but now 'plebean' 911 Turbos do it with no fuss at all ;)
 
Sport Auto Supertest - Cornering and handling

  • Max. lateral acc.: 1,35 g (:usa7uh:)
  • 18 m slalom: 69,6 km/h
  • 36 m slalom: 136 km/h
  • 110 m evasive test: 150 km/h
  • wet handling track: 1:31.5 min.
Not much difference between ESP ON and OFF.
AMS (ESP ON) and Sport Auto (ESP OFF) 18 m slalom and 110 m evasive speeds are nearly identical.

Simple conclusion:
SLR is a little faster in a straight line but SLS pulls better in gears and handles way better.
