Overview of 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG SL55 AMG For Sale by Owner

Since 1954, the Mercedes-Benz SL has represented the best luxury grand tourer out of Stuttgart. It's seen long production runs and continues to this day as a Mercedes-Benz icon. The R230 generation saw a ten-year run from 2001 to 2011 and spawned some fine AMG variants. This 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG is one such example, and with 39,952 miles on the clock, it's clearly been run very lightly. What makes this 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG so special? Let's find out.

Exterior and Interior

An SL's typical color from this era would be shades of gray, black, or blue. Not this 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG. The Mars Red paint job shimmers in the sunlight, and this car is clearly for making a statement wherever you go. There's no denying that the shape has aged well, helped by the 18-inch AMG multispoke alloy wheels and low-profile tires. Let's not forget the piece da resistance, the full metal powered folding top. Coupe or convertible, you can have both in one car. Ample AMG badging adorns this car, together with the V8 Supercharged script, and you'll also find quad exhaust tips to let everyone know that this SL packs nearly 500 horses under the hood. Inside, it's a more sober gray leather affair, with seating for two occupants. Remember that the SL always carries the best Mercedes-Benz tech and amenities of the period. That's why you'll find lovely wood trim and power-adjustable seats with heating, ventilation, memory, and massage functionality. More things to discover include a super Bose sound system, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, and the best touchscreen infotainment system that Mercedes-Benz had to offer in 2005, which includes COMAND navigation. Hints of AMG around the cabin include the 200mph speedometer plus drilled and rubber-studded metal pedals,

Engine

Pop the hood of this 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG, and you'll find the aforementioned supercharged V8 staring back at you. Displacing 5.5 liters, it puts out 493hp and 516lb-ft to the rear wheels. While you may question the 5G-Tronic 5-speed automatic transmission, it was the only thing that Mercedes-Benz had at the time that could handle the engine's massive power and torque. The top speed is capped at 155mph, but Mercedes-Benz claimed at the time that 200mph was a piece of cake for it.
