Fantastic Mercedes SL 55

Noted as the most powerful production car ever produced by Mercedes-Benz upon its launch, the SL55 AMG received rave reviews from the contemporary motoring press for good reason. Boasting one of the greatest engines of the 2000s, its supercharged 5. 5 litre V8 produced some 476bhp and 700Nm of torque (the latter at just 2, 650rpm). Allied to a five-speed automatic transmission, it enabled the two-seater to sprint from 0-60mph in 4. 5 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 155mph.

Surprisingly civilized given the performance on tap, the SL55 boasted a full suite of ‘creature comforts and a firm but not jarring ride. Visually enhanced via re-profiled bumpers, quad exhaust tips, and 18-inch alloy wheels, demand for the newcomer soon outstripped supply. An undoubted modern classic and one of those cars which is more than a sum of its parts, the SL55 AMG enjoys something of a cult following.

Finished in Obsidian Black Metallic with Anthracite Black leather upholstery, the two-seater’s impressive specification encompassed: 18-inch Turbine Wheels; panoramic glass roof; heated and ventilated seats with memory and pulse settings; keyless GO; Bi-Xenon lights; cruise control; premium sound; Nokia telephone; wind deflector, Parktronic and dual-zone climate control.
