The B-pillar, which is inclined to the front and transitions to the rear window with an elegant curve, gives the impression of pure dynamics. The compact passenger compartment is extremely attractive and distinct, and with its high waistline, low side windows and steep windshield resembles a visor. Extending from the lateral air outlet is a style-defining character line, which together with the convex inclination and the exciting surface treatment combines aesthetics with power.

The "6.3" badge integrated between the fins provides a direct reference to the large displacement, naturally aspirated V8 engine. Aficionados will recognize this as another typical styling element of the 300 SL. The fins on the hood are revisited on the vehicle's sides. These lines, which are typical for aircraft, also optically accelerate the air flowing past, giving the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG an extremely dynamic appearance even when standing still. The same visual effect is produced by the design of the four "Silver Shadow" fins gracing the two air vent grilles on the end of the hood.

The farther the viewer's eye wanders to the front, the greater the curvature of the hood. Echoes of aircraft construction are stirred by the exposed Mercedes star, whose cone in profile resembles the air intake of a jet engine, and the long hood.
