Its power-to-weight ratio is 6.5 pounds per hp. This naturally aspirated engine generates its maximum torque of 479 pound-feet at 4,750 rpm. The convertible SLS</div><div style="line-height: 1.7em; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">AMG accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, and the top speed is 197 mph (electronically limited) – which means that the Roadster has almost identical performance to the gullwing.</div><div style="line-height: 1.7em; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The high-revving 6.3-liter V8 engine has the typical characteristics of powerful racing engines.

The use of a dry sump</div><div style="line-height: 1.7em; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">lubrication system allows for a considerably lower installation in the vehicle, yielding a lower center of gravity for high lateral acceleration and thrilling driving dynamics.</div><div style="line-height: 1.7em; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Achievement of demanding fuel consumption targets</strong></div><div style="line-height: 1.7em; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Despite its uncompromisingly athletic character, fuel consumption has also been addressed.
