model developed exclusively by Mercedes-Benz in-house tuner AMG. It would debut in 2009 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, initially in “gullwing” coupe specification, as a modern-day homage to the iconic Mercedes 300 SL. Upon its release, it featured a hand-built 6.2-liter M159 V-8 engine, which Mercedes claimed at the time was the world’s most powerful naturally aspirated series-production engine ever made. With its stunning exterior made mostly of aluminum, the SLS AMG went on to win the gold Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany, the only vehicle to be presented with this accolade.

Mercedes-Benz would follow in 2011 with the release of the SLS AMG Roadster, which offered a luxurious, open-top motoring experience to balance its blistering acceleration and muscular V-8 exhaust note. Following in the footsteps of its 300 SL Roadster predecessor, it featured conventional doors and incorporated additional chassis strengthening to compensate for the absence of a fixed roof.

This stunning SLS AMG Roadster is finished in the exclusive color of Designo Mystic White and is complimented by a Graphite Exclusive Leather interior and a black convertible top. Other notable options include high-gloss interior carbon fiber trim and attractive AMG cross-spoke forged wheels.

Originally delivered to Ontario, Canada, the Roadster was stored in a climate-controlled garage as part of an extensive collection assembled by the previous owner. Just 927 miles showed on the odometer at the time of cataloguing. Thanks to its limited use, the Roadster presents in remarkable condition, which certainly adds to its collectability.

An invoice on file dated March 2025 confirms that Mercedes-Benz Brampton of Ontario performed a comprehensive inspection and replaced the oil and oil filter, installed a new rear main seal to fix a leak, and replaced the right and left airbags as per a recall. This SLS AMG Roadster is an exceptional combination of brawn and beauty, a car capable of a top speed of 197 mph yet comfortable enough to drive daily and over long distances with ease.
