Those of us who will be lucky enough to attend the 2011 Johannesburg International Motor Show this October, will witness the sweet Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster. The car is based on the SLS AMG Coupe, but obviously features a soft roof with an electronic button function to open and close.
Power is courtesy of the same 6.2-litre V8 engine that’s been serving other AMG cars over the past few years, except it is more powerful in this application. That means 420kW and a claimed 0 – 100km/h time of 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 317km/h.
While it won’t be the most powerful Mercedes-Benz car ever presented at JIMS (that was the SL 65 AMG Black Series back in 2008), it certainly will turn heads, draw in traffic to the Mercedes-Benz stand and drop drool on everyone’s faces.
