The SLS AMG will be discontinued after the 2014 model year, so the SLS Final Edition is one last goodbye to such an excellent piece of machinery. The SLS AMG GT Final Edition is distinguished by a carbon-fiber hood, a fixed rear wing, a carbon-fiber splitter, unique front bumper inlets, and exclusive alloys. Power output from the standard SLS AMG GT transfers over, with 583 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. 0-60 mph happens in 3.6 seconds, 124 mph in 11.2 seconds, and top speed is electronically limited to 197 mph. This will have a limited production of 350 units. After all 350 units have been made, production of the SLS AMG and its 6.2-liter V8 will officially end. Its replacement will be a Porsche 911-fighter rumored to be called the GT, which will have a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing nearly 500 horsepower. Gullwing doors will not return for the SLS replacement. The SLS AMG is one of my all-time favorite cars and it's sad to see this car go. Pictured below are a SLS Black Series (in yellow, my favorite SLS variant), SLS roadster (modified in red, stock in silver), and a standard SLS AMG that I saw back in April. The first two were from the L.A. Auto Show while I saw the silver SLS roadster at a dealer in San Jose back in August.
