2012 Mercedes-Benz

Few cars capture the spirit of modern performance quite like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster. For buyers seeking a true modern classic with pedigree, presence, and power, this 2012 Roadster offers an intoxicating blend of theatre and engineering excellence.

Powered by AMG's hand-built 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8, the SLS Roadster delivers 563 bhp to the rear wheels, launching from 0-62 mph in just 3.8 seconds. The soundtrack alone raw, mechanical, and unmistakably AMG is worth the price of admission. Unlike many of today's turbocharged performance cars, the SLS offers a purist driving experience, with immediate throttle response and a character that feels alive at every speed.

While the Coupe is famous for its gullwing doors, the Roadster brings a different kind of drama. With its electrically folding fabric roof, it's perfectly suited to British summer drives whether that's carving through the Cotswolds, stretching its legs on the A-roads of Wales, or making an entrance in Knightsbridge. Roof down, V8 echoing off surrounding buildings few cars command attention quite like it.

Inside, the cabin blends luxury and motorsport intent. Sculpted leather sports seats, aviation-inspired details, and AMG instrumentation remind you this is no ordinary Mercedes. Yet it remains comfortable enough for weekend touring across the UK or a refined grand tour to the continent.

Now firmly recognised as a future classic and one of the last great naturally aspirated AMG flagships the 2011 SLS AMG Roadster represents not only an exhilarating ownership experience, but also a compelling addition to a discerning collection.

This SLS is a 2012 car with 10 Mercedes Benz service receipts, finished in Obsidian Black and then enhanced with a Satin PPF and complementing black interior. This SLS benefits from the AMG sports alloys and the upgraded AMG Ride Control Suspension. The current owner has added Apple Car Play.

For the enthusiast who values analogue drama in a digital age, the SLS AMG Roadster isn't just a car. It's an event.
