Description

Rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG with just 43, 000 genuine miles in excellent condition throughout.

This automotive masterpiece features a hand-assembled 5. 4-liter supercharged V8 engine producing 493 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. As the most powerful production Mercedes-Benz of its era, it delivers breathtaking performance with 0-60 mph in just 4. 6 seconds while maintaining the refinement expected of a premium grand tourer.

The sophisticated retractable hardtop transforms this vehicle from secure coupe to open-air roadster in just 16 seconds, offering versatility for all seasons. Finished in obsidian black with light grey leather interior, this timeless color combination perfectly complements the distinctive AMG styling cues, including muscular bumpers, side skirts, and quad exhaust tips.

Inside, the sumptuous cabin showcases Mercedes-Benz’s legendary craftsmanship with premium leather upholstery, silver trims, and power-adjustable memory seats with heating and massage functions. The advanced COMAND system provides intuitive control of navigation, climate, and entertainment functions, while the Bose sound system delivers exceptional audio quality.

Technical highlights include:

• Active Body Control suspension
