Mercedes-Benz’s first foray into the luxurious grand touring sports car world was with the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. A gullwing and roadster beauty. The SL stands for Super Leicht, or super light, owing to the car’s lightness and ease of ride. While the 300 SL was an instant hit, it was initially produced for the Grand Prix and was not intended for the commercial market. All that changed when an American importer suggested they market it to the affluent segment. Thus, since 1954 Mercedes-Benz has been producing the iconic SL Class when in 2022, they renamed it Mercedes-AMG SL. A chance to own a 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL 550 with just 4,000 miles on the odometer is indeed rare, and here it is!
The fifth-generation SL-Class was introduced in 2001 and produced until 2011. Two facelifts were enacted on the SL-Class in 2006 and 2008. This 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL 550 is bedecked in the premium Designo Graphite exterior patina. The 2008 facelift gives the SL 550 a more modern look, with shaped uniquely shaped headlights and a streamlined body. The front fascia has a more aggressive look with integrated fog lights in the front bumper. The front quarter panels feature ventilation for the brakes for enhanced braking and cooling. The AMG Styling Package adds in the front spoiler and side skirts. It sits on a set of AMG 19” 5-spoke wheels. Exclusive leather trim in Black and Anthracite is appointed for the interior with a Designo Piano Black Lacquer trim. The Premium Package adds active ventilation for the powered and contoured bucket seats, the AIRSCARF neck-level heating and cooling system, and a keyless entry and start. The panorama glass moonroof adds in an optional sun shade as well. Illuminated door sill plates, Distronic, Parktronic and many more features are standard on this SL 550 to make the drive as enjoyable as possible.
Powering this 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL 550 is the potent 5.5L V8 coupled to a 7-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel shift paddles. The V8 has a power rating of 383hp and 391 lb.ft of torque. All-wheel disc brakes assure optimum stopping power, while Mercedes-Benz’s much-vaunted Active Body Control (ACS) keeps the car centered by reducing up to 60% of body movements.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class was born as a sports car with no intention of developing into a street version. Two years later, a street-legal version was proposed for wealthy performance car enthusiasts, as the personal luxury car market was thriving at the time. A few decades later, the famed German automaker Mercedes-Benz commemorated the 60th anniversary of a memorable motor racing success. An extraordinary special model of the SL Roadster was unveiled to celebrate this milestone, and it was dubbed the "Mille Miglia," referring to the unexpected victory of a 300 SL in the production sports cars class in 1955. This example is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Special Edition Mille Miglia 417 with 30,564 miles on its clock. This is your chance to experience the unique symbiosis of maximum comfort and motor-racing spirit that traditionally characterizes every SL.
The three-pointed star is a forever symbol of luxury and class. The goal of Mercedes-Benz is to ensure that passengers can experience the utmost luxury on their commutes. Even though the main focus is comfort, Mercedes-Benz is also known for its grand touring cruisers. The SL series was first introduced in 1954 with the gullwing 300SL. It was built as a luxury GT car to devour highways and country roads at the same time. The R230, which is the fifth iteration of the SL, continues this legacy. This stunning example is a 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL 550 convertible with a little over 8,000 original miles on the clock.
When you think of cruising in style, top-down, and sunset drives, it's easy to get lost in the many options you are presented with; you could choose to munch down the miles with performance and speed, or slow it down with an open top grand tourer savoring the miles and scenery. The Mercedes-Benz SL class has been a crowd favorite with being an automobile that could do both; it's at home with its top down and wind in your hair and even serves as a serious performance machine as you drive by and enjoy a smooth drive. Present today is this lovely 2019 Mercedes-Benz SL550; this luxury German cruiser has a reported 30,823 miles on the clock and is the golden standard in open-top motoring; better yet, this is a one-owner all-original example as reported by the current owner.
This 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded by its current owner. Acquired in 2015 with 13,000 miles at the time, it now has approximately 15,000 miles, reflecting minimal use and careful storage.
Mercedes-Benz’s G-Class is well-known as a tough and fierce off-roader that’s now become a sort of S-Class for off-roading in terms of comfort, tech, and luxury features. This wasn’t always the case, so let’s wind back the clock to the time when the G-Class was just entering the luxury space. This was the time when the W463 generation was entering the market, around 1990. These G-Classes are special because they’ve got a great blend of capability and luxury without over-complicating things with myriad digital screens, touch panels and fingerprint readers. Case in point, this 2000 Mercedes-Benz G500 Cabriolet. With 82,500 miles on the clock and a two-door drop-top body style, this could be your daily driver and your weekend toy, all rolled into one. Oh, and it’s got a V8 under the hood; need we say more?
Being a manufacturer and making a statement in the ʼ80s was a tough task, as the automotive world was on full blast with cars making the move to more tech and a change in design to suit a massive shift in customer tastes and preferences. Mercedes-Benz in the 80s was peak German automotive and the secret to its success? Staying true to who they are and giving the world true luxury and superior engineering over marketing gimmicks. Present today is this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL, this German classic is a love letter to luxury cruising in style and has just a reported 140,316 miles on its clock.
