The SLS AMG is dead. Long live the SLS AMG GT.

For starters, the GT uses the same 6.2-liter fire-breathing V8 from the current SLS, though there’s an additional 20 horsepower on tap – 583 versus the 563 of the outgoing model. Torque output remains the same at 479 pound-feet and the same seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission is on tap as before. The added grunt shaves a tenth of a second off of the SLS’ 0-60 time (3.6 seconds instead of 3.7), and the GT’s top speed is electronically limited to the same 197 miles per hour as before.

But it’s not just the powertrain that gets some enhancements. Mercedes has reworked its adaptive performance suspension, and compared to the 2012 model, we’re told that the 2013 GT rides on stiffer springs and dampers that have been more aggressively tuned. The new SLS still rides on 19-inch alloy wheels up front, wrapped in sticky 265/35-series rubber, while 20-inch rollers are found at the rear, wearing even stickier 295/30-series tires.
A number of enhancements have been made to the SLS’ interior with the introduction of the GT model, including a new Designo style package. This optional extra comes in three different color combinations – in both single- and two-tone finishes – and features only the finest leather surfaces with contrast stitching and a diamond quilt pattern on the seats and doors. Sounds plush. Of course, plenty of other optional goodies are also available, including carbon fiber parts for both the interior and exterior, carbon ceramic brakes, a Bang & Olufsen sound system and different wheel options.

  8. A few things i have seen in terms of computer memory is that often there are technical specs such as SDRAM, DDR and so on, that must fit in with the specifications of the mother board. If the pc’s motherboard is fairly current and there are no computer OS issues, updating the memory literally normally takes under an hour or so. It’s one of the easiest computer system upgrade procedures one can think about. Thanks for expressing your ideas.
