Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster online configurator launched

Using an online configurator for the new SLS AMG Roadster is one of the most enjoyable activities that a Mercedes-Benz fan could have. The carmaker has recently launched the new drop-top version of its front mid-mounted supercar to the internet. You can have limitless hours of fun in checking out the features and switching its look. One of the most exciting items on the configurator is the AMG Le Mans Red dress, the largest AMG chrome jewelry with regards to the wheels.

In addition, its soft-top fabric is offered in a black color. There are actually nine exterior colors to choose from, a few of which are different shades of silver. There are also seven options for interior leather, three colors for the convertible top, and four sets of wheels. The Roadster won’t have the gullwing doors that had attracted so much attention on the coupe.

What the Roadster does get are a bigger headroom and a fine soundtrack too. There’s a pedal featured on the online configurator that when pressed, gives off the sound of the AMG V8 engine rev to the red line. One of the most interesting features is the convertible roof but there’s plenty more. Mercedes included a new electronically-controlled Adaptive AMG Sport Suspension as well as the AMG Performance Media system to monitor and show the telemetrics. Controlling this all is an AMG Drive Unit. [via - 4wheelsnews]
