The SLS AMG is exclusively rear-wheel drive. This model comes in a two-door coupe or roadster variant. Inside, it's equipped with Mercedes' COMAND electronics interface, which includes a 7-inch screen, navigation system, six-disc CD changer, satellite radio, and an iPod/USB audio interface. Key safety features include antilock brakes, stability and traction control, knee airbags and side curtain airbags. True to Mercedes-Benz luxury standards, the SLS AMG provides an unparalleled driving experience with swift acceleration and an exhilarating engine sound.
