SLS AMG gets a new lease of life for the 2013MY

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Roadster


2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT

So, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Mercedes-AMG's halo car, has been succumbed to engine downsizing and this marks the death of the 6.2L V8 engine that has been adorned by fans. For the 2013 model year, the SLS AMG gets a new lease of life as the SLS AMG GT and in here, the 6.2L V8 engine has been thrown away in favor of the 5.5L V8 BiTurbo engine. With this engine, the power is now improved from 563HP to 583HP. That's staggering!

Once more, it now comes with AMG's new Adaptive Performance Suspension with a much stiffer suspension .

While pricing has yet to be determined, the new SLS AMG GT comes with either a coupe (thank goodness, gullwings still here) and the Roadster (for those who don't want their faces purple for embarrassing). Those updated versions will come out in Europe this November.
