When Mercedes-Benz unveiled the SLS AMG, it marked a defining moment in the brand’s modern history. Developed almost entirely by AMG from the ground up, the SLS was conceived as a spiritual successor to the legendary 300 SL, combining dramatic proportions with a naturally aspirated V8 and everyday usability. The Roadster version arrived for the 2012 model year, preserving the unmistakable long bonnet and rearward cabin layout while adding the exhilaration of open-air motoring. Powered by AMG’s hand-built M159 V8 and paired with a lightning-fast dual clutch transmission, the SLS Roadster quickly established itself as one of the most desirable modern Mercedes-Benz performance cars. The SLS AMG Roadster is equipped with the 6.2-litre M159 V8 producing 571 hp and 650 Nm, driving the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual clutch transmission.
About this SLS AMG Roadster
This 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster was delivered new to the United States and was produced on June 18th, 2012. It is presented in exceptionally elegant Designo Mystic White II (048U), one of the most attractive and exclusive colours offered by Mercedes-Benz, complemented by Exclusive Red leather upholstery (507A) and a black power-operated fabric soft top. The striking combination perfectly highlights the SLS Roadster’s dramatic proportions and timeless design.Specified with sought-after factory options including a rear-view camera, garage door opener, high-end sound system and AMG’s 7-speed dual clutch transmission, this SLS combines supercar performance with long-distance comfort. Today, it represents a compelling opportunity to acquire one of AMG’s most celebrated creations, finished in a particularly desirable colour combination.
Exterior
The SLS AMG Roadster's design is already considered a modern classic. Its exceptionally long bonnet, short rear deck and wide stance pay homage to the iconic Mercedes-Benz 300 SL while remaining unmistakably contemporary. Finished in Designo Mystic White II, the aluminium bodywork beautifully accentuates every line and curve of the car.
Unlike many modern supercars, the SLS achieves its visual impact without excessive wings or aggressive aerodynamic add-ons. The combination of the white paintwork, black fabric roof and signature AMG wheels creates a sophisticated and timeless appearance that is equally suited to grand touring and spirited driving.
Interior
The cabin combines handcrafted luxury with a distinctly motorsport-oriented atmosphere. Rich Exclusive Red leather covers the seats, dashboard and interior trim surfaces, creating a dramatic contrast against the exterior finish.
A broad centre console inspired by aviation design houses the AMG transmission controls, while the instrument cluster presents classic analogue gauges in front of the driver. The optional high-end audio system delivers exceptional sound quality, while the rear-view camera improves day-to-day usability. The SLS remains one of the few modern supercars that feels both special and genuinely comfortable over longer distances.
Engine
Under the bonnet lies AMG’s legendary naturally aspirated M159 V8, widely regarded as one of the finest performance engines of the modern era. Hand-assembled according to AMG’s "One Man, One Engine" philosophy, the 6.2-litre V8 produces 571 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque, delivering an intoxicating combination of explosive performance and mechanical character.Power is transmitted through AMG’s 7-speed dual clutch transmission mounted in a rear transaxle configuration, providing near-perfect weight distribution and razor-sharp gear changes. The result is a driving experience that combines exceptional balance with a soundtrack that few modern turbocharged performance cars can match. With a 0-100 km/h time of just 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 317 km/h, the SLS Roadster remains astonishingly capable even by modern standards.
