38 BARRETT-JACKSON EXPERIENCE FALL 2024with the present in a seamless blend of nostalgia and innovation. The car's aggressive stance, wide grille and sleek lines convey a sense of speed and power even when it's at a standstill. Every curve and contour have been crafted to enhance aerodynamics. The Final Edition of the SLS is set apart aesthetically by a special front splitter, a rear spoiler and a hood with a central engine-compartment vent %u2013 all fabricated from carbon fiber. The forged 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels are exclusive to the Final Edition. Both of the Final Editions, offered with No Reserve, have been finished in Obsidian Black paint. As beautifully sculpted as the SLS AMG GT Final Edition is, performance is where it really shines. Under the hood of both vehicles lies a hand-built 6.3-liter V8 engine capable of producing a staggering 583 horsepower at 6,800 rpm and 479 ft/lbs of torque at 4,750 rpm. That thunderous output is transmitted to the rear wheels through a 7-speed automated manual transaxle turning a carbon-fiber driveshaft and limited-slip rear differential. This powerhouse propels the car from 0-60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 197 mph. Stopping power comes from two-piece front brake rotors with 6-piston calipers and fixed 4-piston rear disc brakes. To further enhance performance, the Final Edition SLS AMG GT features aluminum space-frame construction with front and rear forged dual-wishbone suspension. Another highlight is the speed-sensing power steering, which adjusts the assistance automatically based on driving conditions, ensuring the driver uses the same amount of effort to steer at all speeds. The interior of the SLS AMG GT Final Edition is a testament to Mercedes-Benz's commitment to luxury and craftsmanship. Every Final Edition model comes with a plaque located just below the gear shift that reads \in the production run. The cabin is adorned with the finest materials, including black leather, carbon fiber and Alcantara trim. The attention to detail is evident in every silver accent stitch seen on the heated power adjustable seats (designed to provide maximum comfort and support) and the door panels, complemented by the silver seat belts and Alcantara accents on the dash, rear parcel shelf, steering wheel and headliner.
