The 2012
SLS AMG Roadster
Let life catch up to you. The sky’s the limit for this sports car – and not just when the roof is down. The SLS AMG Roadster blends breathtaking performance with outstanding driving dynamics. Awaken your senses; from the feel of the leather steering wheel to the unique sound of the AMG V8 engine, this ride will please you at every moment. The SLS AMG Roadster clearly has the genes of the SLS AMG Coupe – but with a character very much its own.
Let the sun in. It’s been waiting 4.5 billion years. The SLS AMG Roadster is crafted with nothing but the finest materials: solid metal, fine Nappa leather and optional genuine carbon fibre. But best of all, a mere flip of a switch has you experiencing it all under the warm glow of the sun. Opening in record time, the soft top completely folds down in just 11 seconds. Fitting for a vehicle whose underlying theme is always speed.
And you thought thunder came from the sky. Even on the clearest of days, it will storm. The SLS AMG Roadster is a super sports car that enthralls every driver, with its breathtaking performance coming courtesy of the most powerful standard-specification naturally aspirated V8 engine in the world. It has an aluminum space frame for lower weight and maximum rigidity. Its front mid-engine features a transaxle design for optimum weight distribution and superior ride comfort. And with its high-tech chassis meeting even the most discerning of requirements, the SLS AMG Roadster really lets it roar.

Closes faster than the heavens can open. A sudden change in weather will never pose a problem; the SLS AMG Roadster’s fully automatic soft-top opens and closes at the flip of a switch – even when you’re driving at speeds of up to 50 km/h. The soft-top is made of high quality three-ply fabric and is available in black, beige and red. In its closed state, it conforms perfectly to the vehicle’s body contours – a pure delight for all those who love classic roadster design.
