Jay Leno test drives the Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster [video]
Open air excitement
To help promote the SLS AMG Roadster, Mercedes gave Jay Leno an exclusive test drive of the highly-anticipated model.
The clip is pretty self-explanatory and Leno gives the car a lot of praise for being stable, practical and "incredibly fast."
As we have previously reported, the SLS features a 6.3-liter (6,208cc) V8 engine with 563 hp (420 kW / 571 PS) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. It is connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, which enables the convertible to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and hit a limited top speed of 197 mph (317 km/h).

mercedes benz do a great modern interpretation of a muscle car: comfortable low speed cruiser, long elegant body, and a lumpy v8.. beautiful.
