2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

This Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG stands among the marque’s most celebrated modern performance cars, combining iconic design with naturally aspirated V8 performance and low-production rarity. Developed as AMG’s first independently engineered supercar, the SLS pays homage to the legendary W198 300 SL Gullwing through its dramatic roof-hinged doors and long-hood proportions, penned by designer Mark Fetherston. With fewer than 400 coupes produced for the U.S. market in 2012, this exceptionally well-preserved example is finished in striking AMG Le Mans Red over Black Designo Exclusive Nappa leather upholstery. Showing just 9,941 miles from new, it offers a compelling specification for the serious collector.

At its heart is AMG’s hand-built, naturally aspirated 6.2-liter M159 V8, producing 563 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. Downstream, a seven-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT dual-clutch transaxle sends power to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential. Desirable factory options include AMG Performance Suspension, red brake calipers, and staggered 19-inch front / 20-inch rear AMG 10-spoke forged alloy wheels. The richly appointed cabin features an AMG leather and Alcantara steering wheel, extensive carbon fiber interior trim, and premium Bang & Olufsen Performance Surround Sound. Together with its vibrant exterior finish, these selections create a distinctly attractive configuration.

Purchased new by the seller—a former Mercedes-Benz dealer, this SLS AMG benefits from a clean Carfax report and comprehensive service history. Most recently, Mercedes-Benz of Austin performed an annual service on September 14, 2026, accompanied by the installation of four new tires and a wheel alignment. Offered with two key fobs, its original window sticker, factory literature, AMG floor mats, and a battery charger, this highly optioned coupe presents a meticulously maintained example of Mercedes-Benz’s modern Gullwing icon.
