 If you ask me, what is the difference between Mercedes Benz SLS AMG and its successor, Mercedes AMG GT S? Then I will answer: AMG GT S has changed a lot from its predecessor! What was changed?

SLS AMG, the AMG GT S's predecessor

 Firstly, of course the GT S's face. Main headlamp was changed, the square headlamp changed into kidney-shaped headlamp. Second, the famous seagull (gullwing) doors also changed into general doors, like most of the cars.

Only few have changed from its predecessor

 The bad news is, GT S has lower power than its predecessor. GT S has 4000cc TwinTurbo V8 that produces 503 bHP/ 510 ps and the torque of 650 Nm. The predecessor has 6200cc V8 DOHC engine, produces 563 HP/ 571 ps. SLS AMG HAS NO TURBO AT ALL, so it called as THE MOST POWERFUL NATURALLY ASPIRATED PRODUCTION SERIES ENGINE IN THE WORLD.

AMG GT S from behind

 Back to the GT S, it is a 2 seat coupĂ© from Mercedes Benz AMG series. Officially unveiled in 2014, in the Paris Motor Show. Almost 93 percent of its structure made from aluminium, even the front module base made up from magnesium.

 This front mid-engine car has RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) system. When the gas is being hit, GT S's engine gives power to the rear wheel via transaxle 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT dual clutch transmission, makes gear shifting really fast, less than a second, not just that, GT S also has an electronically mechanical limited slip differential (LSD). Acceleration from 0-60 mph/ 0-100 km/h could be done by GT S in just 3.0 seconds, 0.7 second faster than the SLS AMG, which has more power.

Say good bye to slower SLS AMG

 Thanks for reading.
