2009 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Brochure
Mercedes-AMG's answer to the 458 Italia arrived in 2009 as a fully-fledged supercar, not a tuned saloon. The gullwing doors signalled intent from the kerb; the 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 delivering 571 horsepower confirmed it. Buyers seeking a German alternative to Italian exotica found both raw performance and the safety nets of Stuttgart engineering.
2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Brochure
When the SLS AMG debuted in 2010, it faced formidable rivals: the Porsche 911 Turbo commanded raw speed, the Ferrari California offered Italian allure, and the Jaguar XK brought understated British sophistication. Yet Mercedes positioned this gullwing coupé as the only true grand tourer with a naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 producing 563 horsepower—a defiant statement against
2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Brochure
When Mercedes-AMG unveiled the SLS in 2011, the market expected another turbocharged four-cylinder story. Instead came a naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 producing 563 horsepower—a statement that raw, mechanical engagement still belonged in the supercar segment. The gullwing doors announced arrival before the engine did.
2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Brochure
By 2014, the SLS AMG had firmly established itself across Asia's premium markets, with China emerging as a critical growth region for Mercedes' electrified future. The coupé arrived in left-hand-drive configuration, paired with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that year—a shift from the earlier five-speed automatic. Performance remained untouched: 622 horsepower from th
2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe & Roadster Brochure
When Mercedes-AMG launched the roadster variant in 2011, it completed a two-model strategy aimed squarely at buyers craving drama without compromise. The 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 delivered 563 horsepower to both coupé and open-top versions, positioning them against Porsche 911 Turbos and Ferrari's roadster lineup. Gullwing doors on the coupé remained the signature gestu
2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe & Roadster Brochure
By 2012, the SLS AMG faced tougher competition from Porsche's 911 Turbo and the Ferrari California, yet Mercedes held its ground with the naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V8 producing 563 horsepower. The arrival of the Roadster variant that year broadened its appeal beyond coupé purists, offering buyers the choice between gullwing drama and open-air immediacy. Both versions comman
2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe & Roadster Brochure
By 2013, Mercedes-AMG distributed the SLS across multiple territories with both fixed-roof and open configurations, each paired with the same potent 6.2-litre V8 twin-turbo producing 571 horsepower. European markets received the full range alongside North American allocations, cementing the model's status as a genuine two-seater supercar contender against Porsche and Jaguar.
2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe Black Series Brochure
When rivals like the Ferrari 458 Italia and Lamborghini Gallardo dominated the hypercar market in 2012, Mercedes-AMG answered with the Black Series—a track-focused variant that undercut both in price yet matched their aggression. The 661-hp naturally aspirated V8 and carbon-ceramic brakes announced serious intent, while the lightweight chassis and downforce-generating body made
2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition Brochure
By 2014, the SLS AMG GT Final Edition faced a shrinking supercar market against the Porsche 911 Turbo and Audi R8, yet Mercedes positioned this 563-horsepower swan-song differently—as a statement of heritage rather than raw performance. The gullwing doors remained the calling card, but buyers now valued the hand-assembled final run more than outright speed. Right-hand-drive UK
