A retro take on the 1950’s Mercedes 300SL, the brand’s new gullwing-door iteration boasts a powerful 6.2L V8 engine, from the hand of the AMG performance division. Produced between 2011 and 2015, the SLS is now a future classic with airs of yesteryear, much like the BMW Z8.

A number of special versions of the SLS model left the factory: a racing-oriented GT3, a Matte Black edition, a 45th Anniversary model, an electric version, the well known open-top Roadster, a GT version with 20 extra horsepower and special options, and a mind-bending Black Series with almost 60 horsepower over the base model, as well as a wing and other visual changes.

This particular example was built in late 2013 and delivered to Japan. Finished in an enticing shade of Middle Gray Himalayas (756U), this SLS ‘Black Series’ comes with full manuals, tools, warning triangle, first aid kit, and tyre inflator kit. With less than 16,000 kilometers, this car represents a phenomenal chance to acquire a fully original, investment-grade exotic that has become one of the great Mercedes of the new millennium.
