The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG was the first car ever developed entirely in-house by AMG, and they absolutely nailed it. A long bonnet, dramatic proportions, iconic Gullwing doors and one of the last great naturally aspirated AMG V8 engines. Under the bonnet sits the hand-built 6.2 litre M159 V8, created according to AMG’s legendary One Man, One Engine philosophy. No turbos, no hybrid system, no nonsense. Just pure AMG power and sound! And then there are, of course, the doors: a direct tribute to the legendary 300 SL Gullwing, giving the SLS something very few modern supercars have: real heritage. Today, the SLS AMG is exactly what it was always meant to become: a true modern classic and unforgettable from every angle!
This fantastic Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupé was delivered new in Spain and is finished in the highly attractive colour Benitoite Blue Metallic, colour code 950U. Combined with the Exclusive Red leather interior, code 507A, this is one of those specifications that immediately makes the car stand out. Most SLS AMG examples were ordered in the more predictable colours: black, silver, grey, white or red. Beautiful cars, of course, but this Benitoite Blue Metallic over Exclusive Red leather combination gives the SLS a completely different personality. Let’s just say it suits the SLS AMG perfectly.
The specification is also very strong. This SLS AMG was equipped with a desirable selection of factory options, including the almost never seen carbon rear spoiler, Exclusive leather interior trim, the High End Bang & Olufsen Sound System, the 218 Rear View Camera, 275 Memory Package for the driver seat, 281 AMG Performance Steering Wheel, COMAND APS with DVD changer, Universal Communications Interface, Bi-Xenon headlights and black Dinamica microfiber roof lining.
Mechanically, this SLS AMG is exactly what makes the model so special. The naturally aspirated 6.2 litre AMG M159 V8 delivers 420 kW and is paired with the 7-speed AMG dual clutch automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive, a front-mid mounted V8, a transaxle layout and that unmistakable AMG sound. It is modern enough to use properly, but still old-school enough to feel special every single time you start it. This example has covered 48,800 km, which makes it a very interesting SLS AMG. It is not a delivery-mileage garage queen that you are afraid to use, but a properly driven, properly maintained and very usable example. Exactly the kind of car you can enjoy, while still owning something rare, beautiful and increasingly collectible.
The maintenance history is well documented and shows a logical mileage progression. The service history is also reassuring, with the most recent maintenance carried out at 48,711 km by an official Mercedes-Benz dealer. During this service, a Service B with Plus Package was performed, including the renewal of the brake fluid, air filters, spark plugs, engine oil, oil filter and interior filter.
The car comes with all important documentation, including Spanish registration documents, digital Mercedes-Benz service history, maintenance invoices, booklets and manuals, SLS AMG owner’s manual, fuse allocation booklet, Linguatronic instruction booklet, production number document, paint thickness report and 2 keys.
As the cherry on top, this SLS AMG is VAT deductible, which is a major advantage and something you do not often find on cars like this. It makes the car particularly interesting for export, companies or buyers looking for a smart purchase structure.
For us, this is exactly what a usable and collectible SLS AMG should be. A rare and highly attractive colour combination, Exclusive Red leather, strong options, documented mileage, recent official Mercedes-Benz service, complete documentation, 2 keys and VAT-deductible status.
It has the looks, the sound, the specification and the story. A proper SLS AMG, ready to be enjoyed, in a colour combination that makes it feel far more special than the usual examples. Benitoite Blue Metallic with Exclusive Red leather is not just a nice specification. It is the reason this car stands out.
