We all knew it was coming eventually and now we know the details. We have the specifications of the SLS AMG Roadster. The SLS will get AMG’s awesome 6.3L engine cranking out 563hp at 6800RPMs. In case you haven’t heard the 6.3 AMG engine, in person it basically sounds like the god of thunder gargling some steel. It’s awesome! The car will have AMG’s 7 speed dual clutch transaxle, connected out back to some 20 inch rims fitted with 295/30s. That should help keep the monster moving forward. You will also get all the luxury and safety you’ve come to expect in a Benz. Some options you may want to check on your order sheet are the 1000w Bang and Olufsen stereo, ceramic brakes, carbon fiber mirrors, and Adaptive AMG suspension.
Pricing for the Roadster starts at 196k, which is about 7k over the standard car. So, if gull-wing doors aren’t your thing, but you still want some SLS AMG goodness in your garage, the Roadster might be for you.

This SLS is sexy and tough, but I saw a mid 90s SL500 with a grandma driving it today, and it was easily the sexiest M-B I have seen in a while. I’m not saying I’m turned on by grandmas.
