In 2010, Mercedes-Benz and its in-house tuning works AMG combined to produce one of the most charismatic supercars in the world in the form of the SLS AMG GT. The spiritual descendent of the fabled 300SL Gullwing coupe, the SLS AMG took the grand touring concept to new heights of style, luxury and performance, so it was natural that an open roadster version would follow. Introduced at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, the SLS AMG GT roadster inherited all the charms of the coupe version, most notably its thundering hand-built M159 V-8 engine, a naturally aspirated powerhouse capable of taking its host to 60 MPH in 3.8 seconds and a top speed just shy of 200 MPH.
Like the 300SL roadster of old, the cleaner lines of the SLS AMG Roadster showed the overall design in a more pleasing light without sacrificing the coupe’s formidable performance. As the AMG GT approached the end of production, Mercedes-Benz announced the Final Edition, an $18,000 package limited to just 350 cars worldwide that included a mere 10 roadsters, including this rare and spectacular European-specification example. Its 6.3L/591 HP V-8 engine is the star of a performance extravaganza that also features the automatic transaxle, carbon fiber driveshaft, adaptive suspension, speed-sensitive power steering and large vented and cross-drilled disc brakes.
The Final Edition is set apart by a front splitter, Black Series-inspired rear spoiler and a unique vented hood, all fabricated from carbon fiber; this example is further distinguished by rare Designo Magno Graphite Matte paint (a $4,500 option), the same used on the Final Editions shown at the dual Los Angeles and Tokyo launches and the five SLS AMG 45th Anniversary Special Edition cars. AMG-specific features also include Ride Control sport suspension ($3,000), 10-spoke black forged alloy wheels and a leather-and-Alcantara wrapped steering wheel.
In keeping with its mission as the ultimate grand touring machine, this Final Edition roadster’s black leather interior incorporates the $4,500 optional Carbon Fiber Interior Package including carbon fiber console, door sill and seat trim, a Bang and Olufsen sound system ($6,400) and carbon fiber exterior mirror covers ($1,900). Showing just 796 miles, this 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition Roadster is a sterling example of the car that has attained iconic status.
