The AMG sports suspension in the SLS AMG Roadster delivers uncompromising racetrack performance. It employs a double wishbone suspension concept – proven in motorsport – on all four wheels.

Spring struts specially developed and adapted for the SLS AMG and the separation of wheel control and suspension ensure outstanding road contact during high lateral acceleration and a significant reduction in pitching when accelerating and braking. This way, the best possible road surface contact is maintained, even when performance is pushed to the limit.

The long wheelbase (2680 mm) supports directional stability and the wide track (1682 mm at the front and 1651 mm at the back) reduces wheel load displacement on winding roads.

The pinnacle of ultimate sportiness is the AMG Performance suspension.

It is best suited for race track performance, with a firmer spring and shock absorber set-up for optimised lateral dynamics and consequently an even more dynamic motoring experience. The lowering by a few centimetres also provides even more of a motorsport feeling.

The AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension underscores the motorsport credentials of the SLS AMG Roadster.

The adaptive damping system adjusts the damping characteristics of the shock absorbers depending on the selected damping mode of the driving style and the road surface conditions.

By pressing the "AMG suspension" button you can choose between three suspension tuning modes: "C" for comfort, "S" for sport, and "S+" for sport PLUS.

With its firmer shock absorber set-up in the "S" and "S+" modes, the AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension excellent lateral dynamics and consequently an even more dynamic motoring experience.
