A rare case of vintage design language translating effortlessly into a successful modern supercar. The SLS AMG was Mercedes’s attempt at reviving one of the cars that shaped their image over the years, the 300 SL. At the time of its presentation in 2009, it was already a modern classic, and orders poured in.
It was designed to be the ultimate Grand Tourer, and was the first car to be engineered from scratch by AMG. It was powered by the M159 which, at the time of its release, was the most powerful naturally aspirated engine on the market. Although a great success for Mercedes, the SLS coupe in its standard form was produced at relatively low numbers, around 8,000 examples. There is no denying that the SLS AMG will go on to be a highly sought after collector car, not only for its iconic looks but also for the qualities of its naturally aspirated V8.
