2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupé | Single Owner | 29,000 km | Full Mercedes-Benz History

The Ultimate Modern Classic Supercar
As the first vehicle designed and developed entirely from the ground up by AMG in Affalterbach, the SLS AMG Coupé is an undeniable milestone in automotive history. Built as a direct spiritual successor to the legendary 1954 300SL Gullwing, it stands as the last naturally aspirated flagship supercar ever produced by Mercedes-AMG—a rare blend of motorsport-derived engineering and iconic design.

Technical Architecture & Powertrain

M159 6.2L Naturally Aspirated V8: Hand-built, front-mid mounted engine producing 420 kW (571 hp) at 6,800 rpm and 650 Nm of torque. Features flow-optimized intake ducting, revised camshafts, and a race-derived dry-sump lubrication system, allowing the engine to sit 8.2 cm lower in the frame for a dramatically reduced center of gravity.

Transaxle Configuration: Power is transmitted via an ultra-lightweight carbon-fibre driveshaft (weighing just 4.7 kg) housed in a rigid torque tube to a rear-mounted 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT dual-clutch transmission. This yields a rear-biased 47:53 front/rear weight distribution.

Aluminium Spaceframe Chassis: Weighs a remarkable 241 kg, utilizing spaceframe architecture to deliver high torsional rigidity and pinpoint dynamic agility.

Performance: Launches from 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 317 km/h.
