Description

Super car performance with sumptious grace

Noted as the most powerful production car ever produced by Mercedes-Benz upon its launch, the SL55 AMG received rave reviews from the contemporary motoring press for good reason. Boasting one of the greatest engines of the 2000s, its supercharged 5.5 litre V8 produced some 476bhp and 700Nm of torque (the latter at just 2,650rpm). Allied to a five-speed automatic transmission, it enabled the two-seater to sprint from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 155mph.

Surprisingly civilized given the performance on tap, the SL55 boasted a full suite of ‘creature comforts and a firm but not jarring ride. Visually enhanced via re-profiled bumpers, quad exhaust tips, and 18-inch alloy wheels, demand for the newcomer soon outstripped supply. An undoubted modern classic and one of those cars which is more than a sum of its parts, the SL55 AMG enjoys something of a cult following.

Finished in Obsidian Black Metallic with Anthracite Black leather upholstery, the two-seater’s impressive specification encompassed: 18-inch Turbine Wheels; panoramic glass roof; heated and ventilated seats with memory and pulse settings; keyless GO; Bi-Xenon lights; cruise control; premium sound; Nokia telephone; wind deflector, Parktronic and dual-zone climate control.
