From Mercedes press release :

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and the E-Class Cabriolet are expected to provide additional momentum in 2010. "At the start of the long-awaited spring season we will be offering two exciting dream cars bearing the Mercedes star in the form of the SLS AMG and the E-Class Cabriolet. Both models have already enjoyed an excellent response from our customers even before their market launch, and orders for the SLS AMG have already exceeded our expectations significantly", according to Dr. Joachim Schmidt, board member for Mercedes-Benz Cars, Sales and Marketing. With the introduction of the new E-Class Cabriolet, all of the models of the E-Class family will now have been launched on the market, placing Mercedes-Benz in an excellent position vis-à-vis the competition.

The new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG embodies automotive excitement and high-technology at the very highest level. Driving dynamics of the highest order are guaranteed thanks to the superlative combination of aluminium space frame body with gull-wing doors, AMG 6.3-litre V8 front-mid engine developing 420 kW (571 hp) peak output, 650 Nm of torque and dry sump lubrication, seven-speed double-declutch transmission in a transaxle configuration, and also sports suspension with aluminium double wishbones. The kerb weight of 1620 kilograms based on the DIN standard, the ideal front/rear weight distribution of 47 to 53 percent, and the vehicle's low centre of gravity are testimony to the uncompromising sports car concept. The gull-wing accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, before going on to a top speed of 317 km/h (electronically limited). With a fuel consumption of 13.2 litres per 100 kilometres (combined), the SLS AMG is one of the best among its competitors.
