"Following a high-profile world premiere at the IAA, we are very excited about the SLS AMG's commercial release on Monday. There is huge interest in our new super sports car and we are convinced that the SLS AMG will captivate our customers," says Volker Mornhinweg, Chairman of the Management Board at Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
Starting from November 16, customers will have access to informational material which provides details of the paint finishes, leather colors, standard equipment and optional extras available for the SLS AMG. The company also revealed that customers will be able to configure the car online at www.mercedes-amg.com and www.mercedes-benz.com.
The new SLS AMG has had its world debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September, with the market launch set to take place in spring 2010. The model enjoyed a great deal of success since it was first introduced thanks to its gullwing doors.
The SLS AMG is equipped with a 6.2 liter V8 engine from AMG, mated with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, that delivers 571 hp and 650 Nm. This allows the new Gullwing to sprint from naught to sixty in 3.9 seconds, despite of its 1,620 kg overall weight. The top speed is electronically limited at 317 km/h and the fuel consumption level shows a combined 13.2 l/100 km figure.
The Gullwing will be offered with a choice of nine exclusive paint finishes highlighted by the AMG ALU-BEAM silver paintwork. Additional exterior styling cues include LED technology and motor racing/aviation inspired elements.

Just place a order for sls amg gullwing 2011..I was so excited. That i was able to pick the color and all the options. After doing so the dealer hands me a piece of paper to sign....Its a computer print out from.A mercedes sales operations manager. Informing the dealer I put the order in with .That 65 cars are allocated to dealers for nov. and dec production. If the options that the customer piics are not available.I don't get what I ordered, Have to take whatever comes in .Or wait for a later production. But then again . Thats not a guarantee either..........What is going on ? What happened to you build your own car. Thats what mercedes claims......Someone help ! I'm so disappointed. Is this a Mercedes scam to obtain buyers ?
