1954 saw Mercedes-Benz release their SL or ‘Super Leicht’ class, which made it into the US as well as the German manufacturer’s contender for the personal luxury car segment, as well as the grand tourer segment. Fast forward to 2021 and the model is still around, with 2022 receiving the latest iteration. If you’ve always lusted after an SL – and you’d be surprised just how many people do – here’s a nice 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG from California with just 9,310 miles on the clock. This car wore a sticker price of $222,425 when new.
Exterior and Interior
The R231-generation SL of which this 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG belongs to was slightly wider and longer than the previous generation, and sports the famous powered folding aluminum roof that gives you the best of open-topped motoring coupled with a proper metal roof above your head. This example wears a stunning Obsidian Black Metallic shade which is one of the options ticked, the other is the AMG High Contrast Styling Package that ran $4,950 at purchase. Gloss Black Diamond-Turned AMG alloy wheels with red brake calipers peeping through the spokes complete the appearance. Of course, the side flanks wear the ‘V12 Biturbo’ badges, telling you that there’s some serious firepower under the hood of this car, a sentiment echoed by the AMG badges front and rear and the quad exhaust outlets. Venture aboard and it’s an affair for two only, with two electrically adjustable memory seats that are heated and ventilated to boot, and a black with white accents interior color scheme. Dual-zone climate control, infotainment system, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system are some of the special comforts on board. The 220mph speedometer is in stark contrast to the units on lesser Star-badged cars and is another hint at what this car packs under the hood. A classy IWC-badged analog clock is specific to the SL65.
Engine
Let’s get down to business. This 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG packs the most potent engine offered in this generation, the 6.0L M279 V12 with twin turbochargers helping it push out a faintly ridiculous 621hp and 738lb-ft. In fact, the engine is capable of kicking out more torque, and has to be limited by the factory to 738lb-ft to protect the AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission, that sends drive to the rear wheels. Those massive, ventilated disc brakes on all four wheels ensure that the stopping power is more than ample for this potent engine.
Cruising in luxury and style exposes you to a host of choices, but narrow it down, and it's certain that a chilled-out drive experience is best enjoyed behind the wheel of a roadster. Now that you have this narrowed down, its time to pick the right roadster to enhance your drive feel, feeling overwhelmed with the choices available? Worry not, this 2015 Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG with a reported 12,150 miles on the clock is the perfect way to liven up your weekend drives in style.
From manufacturing the first car in the world, Mercedes Benz has strived to stay true to their slogan “The Best or Nothing.” Their SL series was initially introduced in 1954 as a racing sports car, but later, it was made into a production version to cater to the personal luxury sports car market. With the dawn of the new century, the 5th generation SL was introduced with all-new styling and continued the previous generation's trend of factory-available AMG versions. With fewer than 3,000 units ever made, this example of the 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG is a rare find. It shows just over 33,000 miles on the clock available for sale in California.
The 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is a masterpiece that seamlessly blends the secure comfort of a coupe with the exhilarating freedom of a convertible, thanks to its innovative three-piece retractable hardtop. Boasting an interior filled with meticulous details and an extensive array of standard features and options, the 2015 SL-Class offered a range of engines, with the spotlight here on the highest-powered variant—the 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Roadster, featuring a formidable V12 engine. With a mere 11,570 miles on the odometer, this example stands out as a rare gem.
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
