The purist, athletic design of the new SLS AMG Roadster immediately captures the attention of the beholder. Its perfect proportions are particularly memorable: the long bonnet, the greenhouse positioned well to the rear, and the short rear end. This is complemented by the automatically extending rear aerofoil, long wheelbase, wide track, and short overhangs. Pronounced shoulder sections are reminiscent of tensed muscles and suggest, in combination with the large wheels, sheer power.
