The retro craze has seemed to have left no manufacturer unaffected. Toyota revived their FJ Cruiser, Chevy brought back the Camaro, but possibly most impressive: Mercedes has just rolled out the SLS AMG, a throwback to the 300SL Gullwing from the 1950’s and 60’s.
The new Mercedes-Benz Gullwing is so much more then a new take on an old concept. Take for example the engine, the 300SL had, for it’s time, a very impressive 3.0L Inline Six. The SLS AMG however comes out guns blazing with 6.3 Liter AMG V8 pushing our 563 Horsepower and 480 Foot Pounds of Torque. That, along with it’s predominantly carbon fiber body, is good for 3.7 0-60 times and a top speed just shy of 200MPH.
