The new Formula-1 seasons will be held on 12-14 March 2010 in Manawa. This can be an opportunity for the 2010 SLS Mercedes-Benz AMG F1 Safety Car to display the skill as an Official F1 Safety Car of the most spectacular of all time. The job of the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, which will be launched on 27 March 2010, is to ensure maximum safety in Formula 1. The “gullwing” model replaces the SL63 AMG, which was used as the Official F1 Safety Car in 2008 and 2009.

And then, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG F1 Safety Car will be deployed whenever hazardous situations such as accidents or bad weather endanger normal racing which will be driven by Bernd Mayländer (38, from Germany).

This was chosen as the safety car because the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG has the best possible credentials for this demanding role in the top flight of motor racing: its 6.3-litre V8 engine has a peak output of 420 kW (571 hp) and a maximum torque of 650 Nm, enabling the gullwing model to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. Fast lap times are a must for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG F1 Safety Car, otherwise the Formula-1 cars’ tyres and brakes would cool down too quickly, while their engines could overheat.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG F1 Safety Car also has the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission with double-clutch technology features four modes and allows fast gear changes with practically no interruption in tractive power – in manual mode (“M”), gear changes can be effected in 100 milliseconds.

LEDs indicating the status of the roof light bar, along with an on-board camera angled towards Bernd Maylander, are mounted at the front end of the dashboard. While on the interior, the distinctive gullwing doors open to reveal a practical cockpit which, like the exterior. On the right side of the AMG DRIVE UNIT, there are four coloured buttons for controlling the various light functions, along with the signal horn, which is activated when the car is driving into and out of the pit lane.
