2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe
Mercedes introduced the SLS AMG at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show to huge fanfare from the automotive press and laypeople alike. Styled after Mercedes most iconic car, the 300 SL "Gullwing", the SLS AMG featured the long hood/short deck proportions and gullwing doors of its predecessor. Under the hood was a hand-assembled AMG V8 making 563 horsepower, the most powerful naturally-aspirated engine in production at the time, coupled to a rear-mounted seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle. This made the SLS AMG good for a 0-60 sprint in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 197 MPH and is widely considered one of the greatest GTs of all time. The SLS AMG coming up for auction is an immaculate example in classic silver with red interior. The car has covered only 2,426 miles in the last eight years is in nearly showroom-fresh condition. The car will be auctioned in October 2020 at RM Sotheby's Elkhart Collection sale.
