Seller's Introduction
Our team at duPont REGISTRY Live proudly presents this 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, finished in AMG Alubeam Silver over Black Designo Exclusive leather and showing an exceptional 196 miles from new. Powered by AMG's naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 and equipped with an AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transaxle, this SLS AMG represents a particularly well-preserved example of Mercedes-Benz's modern interpretation of the legendary 300 SL.
Overview
Developed as the first automobile designed and built entirely by Mercedes-AMG, the SLS AMG was conceived as a modern flagship that combined classic Mercedes-Benz design cues with contemporary AMG performance. Its most recognizable feature, the signature gullwing doors, pays direct homage to the iconic 300 SL while framing a car engineered around a front-mid-mounted V8, rear-wheel drive and a lightweight aluminum-intensive construction.
This particular example is finished in AMG Alubeam Silver, $12,750 option which provides a distinctive finish that accentuates the SLS AMG's long hood, low roofline and muscular proportions. The exterior is complemented by gullwing doors, staggered 19-inch front and 20-inch rear 10-spoke forged alloy wheels, gold brake calipers and full-body paint protection film, helping preserve the car's exceptionally low-mileage presentation.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Black Designo Exclusive leather upholstery, complemented by carbon-fiber accents and an AMG leather and Alcantara performance steering wheel. The SLS's driver-focused cockpit is further equipped with a Bang & Olufsen sound system and rear-view camera, blending the car's performance-oriented character with modern luxury and convenience.
At the heart of the SLS AMG is AMG's hand-built 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8, paired with an AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transaxle. Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential, while AMG carbon ceramic brakes, a $12,500 option, provide exceptional stopping capability. Selectable driving modes include "C" (Controlled Efficiency), "S" (Sport), "S+" (Sport plus) or "M" (Manual). The naturally aspirated V8 and rear-wheel-drive configuration give the SLS a distinctly mechanical character that represents an important period in AMG's history.
With only 196 miles from new, this SLS AMG has seen remarkably limited use. The combination of its ultra-low mileage, AMG Alubeam Silver exterior, Black Designo Exclusive leather interior, carbon ceramic brakes, forged wheels and full-body PPF makes this a particularly compelling example for the collector seeking one of AMG's most significant modern creations.
The car is accompanied by a clean CarFax, two keys, its original owner's booklets and a car cover. For the collector or enthusiast seeking a modern Mercedes-Benz halo car with unmistakable styling, a naturally aspirated V8 and one of the most recognizable door designs in automotive history, this 2012 SLS AMG presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a remarkably preserved example.
Inspectors Notes: This is an absolute time capsule of an SLS. It still smells brand new, the undercarriage is still covered in cosmoline from the factory. This is the freshest, lowest mileage example on the market, maybe in existence!
