It has been said that Mercedes-Benz has always stood out in the history of motor manufacturing because every car looked great and was sufficiently competitive when compared with other similar marques. However, it is acknowledged that when performance was lacking AMG based in Affalterbach (between Stuttgart and Frankfurt) were called in to deliver their consummate touch, be it handling or the creation of just more power with absolute torque as a by-product with the always autobahn in mind!

From the 2006 version of the SL55 there featured a 5.4 litre supercharged V8 delivering 510bhp, a 0-100 kph time of 4.4 seconds and more than 500lb-ft of torque. Looking equally good with the top up or down (takes only 16 seconds) a driver can enjoy the best of both worlds.

This particular example was delivered new in Singapore on 15 May 2007 appearing in New Zealand coincidentally on 15 May 2017. Mileage is, a mere 82,000 recorded kilometres. Paint and upholstery are unmarked demonstrating, a condition that could only be described as pristine. Wheel rims are minus the usual kerb rash and bear a good set of tyres.

The persona of this SL 55 AMG could only be described as superb. To a buyer seeking performance and luxury with would be very difficult to eclipse it. No problem here though finding the right car with the right credentials. Excellence in German engineering at its finest!
