The announcement of the Mercedes-AMG GT signaled the end of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as the flagship sports car of the German luxury vehicle manufacturer. The SLS AMG was even described by Jeremy Clarkson as the best supercar in the world around three years ago when he was still a part of Top Gear.
Despite the end of production of the SLS AMG, it still continues to make its presence felt. In fact, a video showed the luxury supercar doing donuts somewhere in Bulgaria, as shown in a report from autoevolution.com.
Even if the new AMG GT is cheaper and faster the SLS AMG, the latter still has a number of features that may be appealing to luxury vehicle enthusiasts. The 6.2-liter V8 engine of the sports car is located in the front part of the vehicle. It is is covered by a huge hood that occupies around half of the entire body of the vehicle. However, this means the driver is essentially sitting along the rear axle. Due to this, it makes doing donuts rather dizzying for anyone riding on the SLS AMG.
A twin-clutch gearbox located near the back is connected to the engine, which facilitates weight distribution. While it is still possible for the driver to maintain a specific gear while in manual mode, it is not easy to achieve a burnout using the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.
