Offered as the high-performance version of the R230 SL-Class, the Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG came equipped with a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine producing 510 HP, Active Body Control (ABC) adaptive suspension, larger brakes with 6-piston front calipers, and an aerodynamic AMG body kit. This 2008 example is finished in Black over matching leather upholstery and features the optional P1 Package, Parktronic System, a panoramic roof, and Voice Control. Showing just over 70k miles on the odometer, this SL55 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of South Carolina.
This SL55 AMG is finished in Black (040U) with a power-retractable panoramic glass hardtop. Equipment includes AMG-specific bodywork consisting of a front AMG air dam with mesh grilles, molded side skirts, and a rear apron with a mesh air diffuser along with bi-xenon headlights with heated washers, heated power mirrors with integrated LED turn indicators, a deployable black roll bar, silver brake calipers, fender vents, “V8 Kompressor” badging, LED tail lamps, and polished quad exhaust tips. The optional P1 Package includes bi-xenon headlights with cornering-illuminated fog lamps, and the car rides on staggered aftermarket wheels dressed in Michelin Radial X tires from 2017. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin presents Black Nappa leather upholstery. Equipment includes 12-way power-adjustable heated multi-contour sport seats with perforated centers and AMG badging on the backrests. The optional P1 Package offers active seats with ventilation, along with Keyless-Go entry. Other amenities include a CD changer, Parktronic System, and an optional panoramic sunroof with a shade. The seller notes that the center console was replaced with a carbon fiber substitute. All gauges and electronics are confirmed to be in working order.
Power comes from a handcrafted supercharged 5.4-liter V8 that was factory-rated at 510 HP and 531 lb.-ft of torque, which drives the rear wheels through a 5-speed AMG Speedshift automatic transmission. It accelerates from 0-60 MPH 60 in 4.4 seconds and has an electronically controlled top speed of 155 MPH. Performance features include an AMG-tuned ABC adaptive suspension, 6-piston brake calipers in the front and 4-piston calipers in the rear, an Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and speed-sensitive power steering. The seller adds that the roof’s hydraulic system has been rebuilt and replaced with new hydraulics, and the CARFAX report shows a total of 38 service history entries.
This sale will include a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “AMAZING PERFORMANCE VALUE, HAND-BUILT MOTOR!”
