The SLS has been deployed as the official safety car since 2010 and remains on standby at the pits while awaiting activation orders via radio under poor weather conditions or accidents.
Driven by 40 year old Bernd Maylander, it leads the F1 field safely around the circuit until the dangerous situation has been dealt with.
In the 2011 Formula 1 season, the SLS was deployed twelve times, covering a total distance of 284.3 kilometres, the highest being a record 21 outings, covering 452.3km in 2010.
No technical changes have been made from a standard SLS besides a newly developed exhaust to provide an electrifying sound experience.
The gullwing is accompanied by the C 63 AMG estate medical car. The C 63 with a large 485 litre boot offers plenty of space for emergency equipment and also responds to an emergency rapidly in the event of an accident.
Both cars are visually similar with the light bar on the roof, official logos, and LED lights at the front, rear and rear number plate areas.
Mercedes-Benz AMG has provided the Safety and Medical Cars for the past 16 years.
