Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster A Look at the Inside


whether with the soft top open or closed, the SLS AMG Roadster offers its occupants an unrivalled driving experience. This is in large part due to the functional interior and extensive, exclusive standard appointments.

The driver of the SLS AMG Roadster has a low seating position typical of a sports car just 368 millimetres above the road surface. In combination with the generous effective headroom of max. 982 millimetres and the effective legroom of 1058 driver and 1078 passenger millimetres, this results in a very relaxed seating position. Good all-round visibility is made possible by the relatively upright angle of the windscreen. Decisive factors for the impression of spaciousness include the generous shoulder-room of 1483 millimetres and an elbow width of no less than 1606 millimetres.
The sports seats with integrated head restraints feature so-called two-zone seat cushions. Prominent side bolsters with a harder foam filling provide optimal lateral support, while the inner areas of the seat cushion and backrest are softer for a high level of comfort on long journeys. A black designo leather interior is standard equipment. The seat backrests are made from magnesium, a high-tech material that combines light weight with high strength. This leads to significant advantages where weight distribution and a low centre of gravity are concerned.
The fore-and-aft position, height, backrest angle, seat cushion angle and steering column are adjusted mechanically. If the optional Memory package is specified, these adjustments including the seat cushion angle are electric threeindividual seat settings can also be stored in this way. The Memory package also includes four-way lumbar supportsand adjustable seat side bolsters for more lateral support when cornering at speed. Pivoting air vents are integrated into the head restraintsThe airflow can be adjusted to different body sizesusing movable louvres, and the heating level can be set in three stages by pressing a button.

Two dial instruments provide information about the vehicle speed and engine speed, and have two small, integrated displays showing the fuel level and the engine oil temperature. When the ignition is switched on, the needles of the rev counter and speedometer simultaneously spin around to their maximum position, then instantly return to zero. Between the dial instruments there is a central display for information such as the odometer reading, range, fuel consumption, trip mileage, driving time and average speed.each wheel, but also has three modes for comprehensive driver informationtransmission oil temperaturesavailable, with which the driver is able to measure lap times on a closed race circuit.
