Abdul Rahman Albisher & Zaid Alkazemi Company, the Authorized Mercedes-Benz General Distributor in Kuwait participated in the GulfRun 6 event as a pit sponsor where we were on track with the large contingent of motoring enthusiasts from Kuwait at the Bahrain F1 Circuit with the awe inspiring Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.
Professional driver from the official AMG Driving Academy, Marc Simon was on hand to give truly exhilarating taxi-rides on the SLS AMG to the participants of the GulfRun this year.
The SLS AMG is the super sports car from Mercedes-Benz and AMG. It makes for an alluring proposition with its unrivalled technology package:
Aluminum space-frame body with Gullwing doors, AMG 6.3-litre V8 front-mid-engine developing 420 kW/ 571 hp peak output, 650 Nm of torque and dry sump lubrication, seven-speed double-declutch transmission in a transaxle configuration, sports suspension with aluminium double wishbones and a kerb weight of 1620 kilograms – this superlative combination guarantees driving dynamics of the highest order.
The 'Gullwing' accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. On the track it impressed with its superlative performance, dynamic handling and supreme comfort and luxury.
“It really was an exhilarating experience to be on the track with the SLS being driven by Marc, I thoroughly enjoyed it” said Mr. Abdul Majeed Ashkanani, a keen motoring enthusiast himself.
The event took place over two days at the Bahrain International Circuit in front of an enthusiastic crowd from Kuwait who came to see their friends and family in action at the track.
