About Mercedes-Benz SLS-Class
As supercars go, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT for 2015 is about as super as they get. Beyond its stunning design, extraordinary horsepower and unique features such as the roadster’s gullwing doors, the SLS AMG GT represents something of a return to the German automaker’s glory days. Easily a match for the Aston Martin DB9, Ferrari California and Bentley Continental GT, the SLS AMG GT exotic for 2015 stares down the competition by offering a Final Edition limited run of just 350 cars. Offered as a coupe or convertible, this 583-horsepower AMG supercar will carry special carbon-fiber bits including its hood, front splitter and rear spoiler as well as unique AMG forged wheels and a Designo diamond-pattern leather interior.
As a farewell to this fabulous automobile, AMG and MB have created a Final Edition version with a limited run of just 350 cars worldwide. Available as a coupe or convertible, once the magic 350 number is reached, the 2015 SLS AMG GT supercar will end an epic chapter in automotive history.
Just in case the SLS AMG GT isn't ferocious enough with its standard 583 horsepower, an even more powerful Black Series coupe is available for 2014. It boasts 622 horsepower, high-performance parts like ceramic brakes, and a roughly $276,000 starting price.
One might think it difficult to improve upon the grandness that is the SLS, but for 2013 Mercedes-Benz found a way. Most notable is the addition of 20 more horsepower under the hood to raise output to 583 horsepower. In addition to adding "GT" to its name, the 2013 SLS AMG features a recalibrated 7-speed automatic transmission, modified suspension, and darkened headlights and taillights.
For 2012, Mercedes-Benz adds a convertible version of the SLS AMG. The roadster loses the gullwing door design, but retains the same thrilling performance in a package that is equally attractive.

"We own both the coupe and roadster. The roadster is my wife's only car and the coupe is mine. The dealer offered us a 7 year bumper to bumper warrantee for an extra $3500, so my future costs are fixed. They sound great, are of typical german quality, and both hold a set of golf clubs in the trunk. We are car people so we love the conversations these cars create. Our choice was over the Bentley, Lambo, Aston,Audi R8 V10 & Ferrari ... and while a couple came close, this cleary was the best built in terms of daily usability and on-going maintenance (although from a maintenance perspective, the Audi tied). Love the cars. Great purchases. (By the way, I have 11,000 on the Gullwing and my wife has 3800 miles on the roadster. One final thing ... my wife is 70 and 5'2" and has no trouble reaching the gull wing door. She brings it down as she gets in."

"I purchased the car used from a dealership. It had one previous owner and 21,000 miles. I drive it about 1,000 a year inasmuch as it is not my daily driver. The gullwing doors was the selling feature for me. Every time I fill the gas tank I get stares and inquiries as to what kind of Mercedes it is. It rides great and has fabulous acceleration. The sound system is great, especially with the upgraded system. Climate control is very good and the seats are extremely comfortable. Service costs are typical M-B, but not excessive. I was even surprised that the insurance costs were moderate (State Farm). I would highly recommend this car to anyone who wants to own a future classic and who loves the 300 SL, but who doesn't have a spare $1.5 million laying around."

I own the 2015 AMG Final Edition since mid 2014.

"Great reliability and value. Despite it not being as fashy as the Ferrari or Lambo, it sure gets a lot of attention - although generally people love it or hate it, nothing in-between. Real reason for choosing this over the others however is the reliabilty, cost and ease of servicing. Can take into any MB dealer (and there are plenty to choose from) and get regular maintenance completed at a very reasonable cost. Rides well considering its a sport car, but what I like the most are the convenience items that really work (navigation, upgraded B&O radio, etc.). This can easily be a "every day" driver. Should remain classic and unique style for years to come."
