17K-Mile 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG debuted in America in 2003 as a luxurious, high-performance roadster. Based on the stylish SL500 two-seater, the SL55 features the aggressive styling and massive power that M-B's in-house AMG performance brand is famous for. Its hand-built, 5.4-liter supercharged V8 makes 493 horsepower, launching the SL55 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and blasting through the quarter mile in 13 seconds flat at 110 mph. While the car's top speed is restricted to 155, Mercedes claims that unlimited SL55s will do over 200 mph. One impressed Motor Trend tester stated, “Unless you have taken a handful of bravery pills, it's best to wait awhile before switching off the stability control.”

The beastly SL55 is also a head turner, with beautiful AMG-spec side skirts, front spoiler, and five-spoke wheels. It coddles occupants with Alcantara headliner, a 10-speaker audio system, and supremely comfortable leather seats. And it quickly retracts its power hardtop and raises a wind deflector, resulting in a comfortable and quiet top-down motoring experience.

This well-optioned 2003 SL55 wears Firemist Red Metallic paint and Charcoal leather upholstery and has been driven less than 17,000 miles.
