The 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG with Gullwing doors is instantly recognisable, even to those who aren't avid car enthusiasts, due to its distinctive upward-opening doors. These doors are a modern tribute to the legendary Mercedes 300 SL of the 1950s, a car that redefined automotive design with its innovative spaceframe chassis and unique gullwing doors.
In 2010, Mercedes-Benz, through its high-performance division AMG, decided to bring this classic design back to life. The result was the SLS AMG, a car that pays homage to its legendary predecessor while showcasing the very best of modern engineering and design. This model is particularly special as it was the first Mercedes to be entirely developed by AMG, highlighting the division’s evolution from tuner to creator.
The SLS AMG quickly became an icon in its own right, revered for its dramatic gullwing doors that pay homage to the 300 SL. These doors open upwards, adding a dramatic and instantly recognisable silhouette to the car. This feature, combined with the car's long bonnet, short rear end, and wide stance, creates a visually striking presence both on and off the road.
Beyond its visual appeal, the SLS AMG symbolises Mercedes-Benz's dedication to blending tradition with innovation. It seamlessly integrates advanced technology with classic design cues, creating a bridge between the brand's storied past and its forward-looking vision. The SLS AMG has become a collector's dream, representing a pivotal chapter in Mercedes-Benz's history.
The SLS AMG was first revealed to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009. Upon its release, it garnered numerous prestigious awards, including the 2010 Auto Bild Design Award as ‘Europe’s Most Attractive Car’ and the Federal Republic of Germany’s Gold Design Award, cementing its status as a modern-day classic.
Starting its life in South Africa, this Zircon Red 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG was later imported to the UK. With its distinctive Gullwing doors, it is a meticulously maintained example from a private collection. The car features integrated wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a Category S5 Telemetrics Tracker for added security
Under the bonnet, the SLS AMG boasts a 6.2-litre V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, delivering a fantastic driving experience. The car’s exterior is enhanced by 19" and 20" AMG 7-spoke alloys, Bi-xenon headlamps, and daytime running lights.
The interior is equally impressive, with AMG carbon fibre black piano trim and an AMG performance steering wheel trimmed in black leather and microfibre suede. The cabin includes a Dinamica roof liner in black, Thermotronic automatic dual-zone climate control, and electrically adjustable driver’s seating with a memory package. For added comfort, the seats are heated, and the car is equipped with the COMAND-APS system with a DVD changer.
Convenience features include electrically folding exterior mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, and a reversing camera. The headlamp cleaning system ensures optimal visibility in all conditions.
The SLS AMG has won several prestigious awards since its debut, including the 2010 Auto Bild Design Award as 'Europe’s Most Attractive Car' and the Federal Republic of Germany’s Gold Design Award. It was first revealed to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009 and stands as the first Mercedes-Benz designed and built entirely by AMG. With a powerful 563 bhp engine, it is one of the most powerful naturally aspirated production engines in the world.
Presented in excellent condition throughout, this SLS AMG comes complete with its original books, including the service/warranty supplement, pouch, and history file. This car represents a unique opportunity to own a modern-day classic that combines iconic design with exceptional performance.
