2022 Porsche 911 vs. 2022 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

The 2022 Porsche 911 and the 2022 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG are two of the most iconic sports cars in history. Both cars are known for their performance on the track, but which one will perform best for you? In this article, we'll take a closer look at both vehicles, including their exterior design, interior design, technology and safety features, engine performance specs (including fuel economy), and more.

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is an extremely fast car, but it's not exactly pretty. In fact, the design of this sports car is so bold and futuristic that it can feel a little awkward to those who aren't used to seeing cars like this on the road.

The 2022 Porsche 911, on the other hand, has a sleeker look with more curves than its predecessor had. The front end of this benchmark model features sharper lines and wider air intakes that help make room for bigger brakes behind them; meanwhile, headlights are set further apart than before to give drivers better visibility both on road and off.

• Interior Design

The interior of the 2022 Porsche 911 is a vast improvement over its predecessor. The steering wheel has been upgraded to one that feels more like its big brother, the Panamera, but it's still smaller than what you'll find in a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. The seats are also more comfortable and have better bolstering than before. There's also plenty of leg room for everyone in this car.

There are also plenty of storage areas throughout the vehicle so that your belongings are always close at hand when you need them. The dashboard itself has all sorts of buttons on it for controlling various functions in your vehicle without having to use touch screens or voice commands (although there will also likely be options for those as well).

The interior design of the 2022 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is elegant and modern-you won't find any gimmicky features or gaudy colors here. Instead you'll see lots of leather and fine materials that fit well within this vehicle's luxury profile. The seats are comfortable enough for all-day drives, which you'll want to take because there's no autonomous driving assistance available on this model.

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Porsche 911 is available with a large number of safety features. These features include adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert.

The 2022 Mercedes SLS AMG provides the driver with a sense of security by offering multiple driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist. The system is also equipped with cameras that monitor surrounding traffic conditions to enhance the driver's ability to detect danger before it occurs.

Performance

The 2022 Porsche 911 comes with a 3.6-liter, twin-turbocharged flat six engine that produces up to 616 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG has a Mercedes AMG M159 6-liter engine that produces up to 580 horsepower and 487 pound feet of torque. The Porsche is slightly faster at 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds compared to the SLS AMG's 3 seconds flat time, but the Mercedes has quicker acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) at 4 seconds compared with the 911's 5 seconds flat time for that speed test.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Porsche 911 is an outstanding performance machine, and it's about as nice to drive as any sports car can be. The interior is lush and comfortable, with all the latest technology at your fingertips (or voice command). The exterior is sleek, with a wide body that makes room for two large exhausts mounted low on either side of the rear wheels.
