"With the roof folded down, the noise from the fantastic Mercedes SLS AMG V8 engine is a motoring created loudest and memorable."
The Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster does not have the amazing doors of the standard coupe, but it makes up for that with a fantastic driving experience until the owner takes place even closer to the action. It has a clean electric folding fabric roof, which really brings the sound of the 563bhp 6.3-liter V8 in the cabin. Other changes from the standard Coupé are new adaptive dampers to improve the comfort. The SLS AMG Roadster adds around £ 8,500 to the price of the SLS Coupé.

Painfully expensive to run
with such an enormously powerful engine, the SLS AMG Roadster is to run very expensive. Mercedes claims 21.4mpg, but most owners in reality is lucky enough to see 15mpg on a daily basis. CO2 emissions of 308g / km is the highest road tax bill mean well. But depreciation is the largest operating costs. The standard SLS AMG Coupé loses in the first year after purchase £ 50,000 of its value to, and we expect the roadster version fare better.

softer ride handling improved
The SLS AMG Roadster is to drive a lot of fun. Sometimes convertibles handle not as strong as their counterparts coupe, but the Roadster feels just like the coupe concentrated. In fact, the changes to the settings of the suspension and the addition of adaptive dampers made mean it even better is to drive as the coupe. Body control is better and the car crashes less unevenness. With the roof down, you can every single note of the incredible 6.3-liter V8 also heard that has a bassy rumble under hard acceleration, interrupted by crackling and popping from the exhaust when you lift. The SLS Roadster is as fast as the McLaren MP4-12C and Ferrari 458 Spider, with a 0-62mph time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed 197 hours miles, which means you must use full throttle in fact very economical.

Interior & Comfort

Fantastic seats provide plenty of support
the SLS AMG Roadster has luxurious and supportive leather sports seats that have a wide range of electrical adjustment and designed active cushions that you hold in his position in curves. The three-layer roof does a good job of keeping out road and wind noise, when it is raised while a clean plastic wind deflector reduces flutter when the roof is down. The new Adpative Damping System gives you three settings to choose from, and the softest of these offers a firm yet comfortable balance. the courses the seven-speed automatic transmission shifts very smoothly indeed in fully automatic mode, but it has an annoying delay when you take charge with the steering wheel paddles.

practicality & trunk

of are boat measures 173 liters
with a number of conventional doors, these wing doors means exchanges that get in and out of the SLS AMG Roadster is much easier than the coupe's, because there is no need to stretch from the seat upwards to pull the door. Once inside, all the buttons are logically arranged and labeled, and there is no more difficult than driving a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. The three-layered hood can be raised or lowered in just 11 seconds at speeds of up to 30mph, so you will not get wet when the sky to get open. There is plenty of space for two large adults in the two-seater cabin and the boot has 173 liters of space - just three liters less than the coupe - which is available for a suitcase and a few squashy bags plenty.

reliability and safety
-
Very high attention to detail
build quality has always been a strong point and Mercedes SLS Roadster is certainly beautifully finished. the attention to detail from the AMG Division, we expect the Roadster just as reliable as its hardtop to his brother. What's more, there is no lack of security features, including many air bags, traction control (with two levels of intervention), ABS and a pop-up roll bar should the unthinkable happen.

price, price-performance ratio and options

Ferrari California is cheaper
with a price of £ 175,000 over, the SLS AMG Roadster is indeed very expensive. It costs around £ 8500 more than the coupe and is about £ 30,000 more than a Ferrari California, a folding metal roof convertible, the treated better and sounds just as good. As expected, there is no shortage of equipment, with Navi, heated seats, cruise control and parking sensors all standard. Mercedes also includes an AMG Performance package, the owner of lap times and acceleration statistics can capture. There are still a number of options to choose from, including unique matt varnish.
