Here’s a dilemma for you:

You work at Mercedes Benz in the supercar department. You’ve got a perfectly respectable supercar on the market, albeit a bit of a show off. You look at your calendar and you realize, shit…it’s nearly a new year. We better put something new out.

So you slap on some new leather, add a few extra kilowatts and change the suspension to make it more comfortable, and then tell people to go touring in it.

The 2013 SLS AMG GT is still bloody cool though.

Heightened dynamics give it an enhanced max output, they’ve re-calibrated the DCT 7-speed transmission to make gear changes even faster and modified the engine mapping to make this chariots 0-100 time only 3.6 seconds. Top speed? Near on 320km/h

A new AMG adaptive performance suspension enhances the vehicles ‘sportiness’, it’s stiffer and more aggressive and they’ll sell you one in roadster or coupe styling.
