The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a high-performance grand tourer that combines breathtaking performance with iconic design. Introduced to the Saudi Arabian market in 2010, the SLS AMG was developed entirely by Mercedes-AMG as a tribute to the legendary 300SL Gullwing. With its signature gullwing doors, long hood, and muscular rear haunches, the SLS AMG quickly became a symbol of power, elegance, and German engineering. Production continued until 2014, and the SLS AMG remains a highly desirable supercar in the KSA used car market.
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 engine, one of the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engines of its time. It produces 591 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque, mated to a 7-speed automated manual transmission sending power to the rear wheels. The SLS AMG accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 320 km/h. The front mid-engine layout and rear transaxle provided perfect weight distribution, offering exceptional balance and handling.
The exterior design of the SLS AMG is unmistakable. The long hood, wide stance, and short rear give it a classic grand tourer profile, while the gullwing doors pay homage to the legendary 300SL. Aggressive front air intakes, a bold grille with the AMG badge, and sleek bi-xenon or LED headlights define the front fascia. The rear features a wide diffuser, quad exhaust tips, and an active rear spoiler that deploys at higher speeds. Convertible models, known as the SLS AMG Roadster, replaced the gullwing doors with conventional doors while retaining the same powerful aesthetic.
Inside, the SLS AMG offers a blend of luxury and sportiness. High-quality materials such as leather, Alcantara, carbon fiber, and aluminum create a refined yet performance-oriented atmosphere. The cockpit features a wide center console, aviation-inspired air vents, and a central infotainment screen. The sports seats are deeply bolstered, offering comfort and support for both spirited driving and long-distance cruising. Despite being a supercar, the SLS AMG provides ample space for two passengers and a usable luggage compartment, making it a practical choice for grand touring.
The SLS AMG offers typical fuel consumption for a naturally aspirated V8-powered supercar, averaging around 7.6 km/l. While efficiency was not a primary focus, the balance of performance and comfort made it suitable for both daily use and weekend drives.
The SLS AMG is equipped with advanced technology for its time, including adaptive suspension, stability control, ABS, multiple airbags, and AMG’s performance braking system. The infotainment system includes navigation, Bluetooth, and a premium audio system. Safety and driver aids include parking sensors, a rearview camera, and advanced traction control systems to ensure stability at high speeds.
In KSA, the SLS AMG was offered in a range of stunning colors, including Iridium Silver, Obsidian Black, Designo Magno Matte shades, AMG Solar Beam Yellow, and metallic reds, blues, and whites. Customization options through Designo allowed owners to personalize both exterior and interior finishes.
In the KSA used supercar market, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG competes with models like the Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren MP4-12C, and Porsche 911 Turbo S. While those cars focus heavily on track performance, the SLS AMG offers a unique blend of raw power, distinctive design, and everyday usability, making it a standout choice for enthusiasts who value both performance and heritage.
