2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG was introduced in 2009 in Frankfurt as a successor to the SLR McLaren as Stuttgart's top-of-the-line supercar. It was endowed with cutting-edge technologies and wore styling cues from the long-revered 300SL of the 1950s and early 1960s. The new SLS AMG was the first automobile completely designed from the ground up by Mercedes-Benz's famed AMG tuning/racing arm.

This particular 2012 SLS AMG Roadster is powered by a hand-made 6.2-liter V8 engine backed by an AMG Speedshift DCT 7-Speed transmission with fully manual shifting capability with steering-wheel paddles. It is finished in Iridium Silver paint finish and Classic Red leather interior and currently has 352 miles on the odometer. It has a power-operated black convertible top, high-end Classic Red Designo Exclusive leather interior, black carpeting, Bi-xenon headlamps, AMG limited-slip differential, AMG Dynamic suspension, AMG carbon-ceramic brakes with red calipers, carbon-fiber engine compartment covers, and carbon fiber interior package. The Bang and Olufsen 1,000-watt sound system includes Sirius/XM satellite radio capability. There are AMG bucket seats, AIRSCARF neck-level heating and dual-zone automatic climate control. Upgrades include Renntech carbon fiber aerodynamic trim including the front air splitter and rear diffuser, Renntech Silver forged wheels, Continental ContiSport tires and Renntech long-tube headers.

This SLS AMG Roadster is one of 884 examples produced for 2012.
