Technical Data
Description
OVERVIEW
SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster showing just 16,969 mi (27,309 km) on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in Designo Mystic White over a Black leather cabin, this low-slung roadster is the ultimate expression of open-air supercars.
Going back to 1971 when the famed bright red 300 SEL 6.8 won its class at the 24 Hours in Spa, a fire was lit under what would become one of the all-time automotive performance house greats - AMG. Renowned for their ability to create physics-defying magic on four wheels, the SLS AMG Roadster was a crowning achievement.
Short for “Super Leicht Sport”, the SLS was the first vehicle designed and built entirely by AMG. The results speak for themselves. Awe-inspiring design, a thundering 6.2L V8, and a nearly 200-mph top speed. In Roadster guise, like today’s gorgeous Designo Mystic White example, calling the SLS AMG special is a serious understatement.

-
“There is no doubt that the SLS is a bona fide modern classic.” - Evo
-
“The…exhaust note is…intoxicating, from the piercing bark at start up to the guttural wail at the 7200 rpm redline.” - Motor Trend

SUMMARY
When the SLS AMG debuted, it was sporting the most powerful naturally aspirated mill at the time. Not to mention lines, penned by Mark Fetherston, that have to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Incredibly long, low, and lean, this a car that screams performance.
With today’s SLS AMG Roadster, 1 of fewer than 900 sold in the United States, you have the opportunity to fully appreciate how stunning this supercar is. Exclusive, breathtakingly fast, and drop-dead gorgeous, it’s easy to see why Jeremy Clarkson described it as “the greatest car in the world.”
