This 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a Canadian-market roadster that was acquired by the current owner on BaT in April 2020, and it was subsequently imported to the US. Finished in Obsidian Black Metallic over black Exclusive leather, the car is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 linked with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a power-retractable black fabric top, xenon headlights, carbon fiber interior trim, Blind Spot Assist, COMAND infotainment with navigation, and heated power-adjustable seats with Airscarf neck warmers. This SLS AMG has 7k miles, and it is now offered in California on consignment by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, with manufacturer’s literature, two keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Ohio title.
The car is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic and has a black convertible soft top, bi-xenon headlights with washers, a speed-activated aerofoil, straked front fender vents, power-folding mirrors, Parktronic parking sensors, and polished exhaust outlets. Paint protection film has been applied to the front end.
Staggered-width 19″ and 20″ five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with 265/35 front and 295/30 rear Continental SportContact 6 tires that were installed in 2020. The car is equipped with speed-sensitive power steering in addition to an optional AMG adaptive suspension, and stopping power is provided by red-finished AMG-branded brake calipers over cross-drilled and slotted rotors at all four corners. The brake fluid was flushed in April 2022.
The cabin features heated power-adjustable AMG sport seats trimmed in black Exclusive leather that extends to the lower dashboard, center console, and door panel inserts. Gloss carbon-fiber trim accents the center console and door panels, and amenities include a rearview camera, Keyless Go, Airscarf neck warmers, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, and COMAND infotainment with navigation.
A leather-wrapped steering wheel features aluminum shift paddles and frames a speedometer with a retrofitted 240-mph face that was installed when the car was federalized. The digital odometer indicates 7k miles, approximately 800 of which were added under current ownership.
The hand-assembled 6.2-liter M159 DOHC V8 was factory rated at 563 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. The oil was most recently changed in April 2022.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transaxle and a limited-slip differential.
