Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Submodels
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, produced from 2010 to 2015, was the first automobile designed and built from scratch by AMG. It's a modern tribute to the legendary 1950s 300 SL Gullwing, complete with its iconic upward-opening doors. Power comes from a hand-built, naturally aspirated 6.2-liter M159 V8 engine mounted front-mid-ship, sending 563 horsepower to a rear-mounted 7-speed dual-clutch transaxle.
The SLS AMG quickly became a collector's item thanks to its unique design, analog driving feel, and its status as one of the last great naturally aspirated supercars. Collectors prize its direct link to Mercedes history and AMG's engineering prowess. The market for standard coupes has remained strong and stable, while limited-production models like the roadster, GT, and especially the hardcore Black Series command significant premiums.
Buying Tips
- Check the gas-charged struts for the gullwing doors. They are a known failure point and are expensive to replace. Ensure the doors open and close smoothly without excessive effort.
- The 7-speed Getrag dual-clutch transmission can be problematic. Test for jerky low-speed behavior, clunking noises, or hesitation during shifts. Software updates and proper fluid changes are critical.
- Inspect the carbon-ceramic brakes, if equipped. They offer incredible performance but are extremely expensive to replace. Check for any chips, cracks, or signs of excessive wear.
- A complete service history is non-negotiable. The M159 V8 is robust, but it requires consistent, expert maintenance. Review records to confirm regular oil services and adherence to the factory schedule.
