Overview

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe is a midsize coupe offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $201,500. For that price, it mainly competes with the Aston Martin DB9 Coupe, the Ferrari 458 Italia Coupe, and the Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe. Between 2 trims, the SLS AMG GT Coupe offers a single powertrain with two power outputs. The base engine is a 6.2L V8 capable of making 583 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, the high-end Black Series trim bumps the power output to 622 horsepower. It is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The AMG SLS GT Coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.0 seconds which gets pumped up to 3.5 seconds with the Black Series trim. Depending on the powertrain, the SLS AMG GT Coupe can manage a combined fuel economy between 14 and 15 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the SLS AMG GT Coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The SLS AMG GT comes in two trims and has a plethora of options available. We recommend settling with the base trim only which is still pretty fast and comes with a decent amount of standard features and equipment. Numerous optional interior color combinations, upgraded leather, and carbon fiber or aluminum trim on the dashboard and center console are available if you choose to make the coupe your personal choice.
