2012 Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster







The SLS AMG was developed as a modern successor to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster, one of the most consequential models in Mercedes-Benz history. The reference was structural rather than stylistic. The SLS was conceived as a singular car within the brand, developed without reliance on an existing platform. As original 300 SL Roadsters now trade well beyond seven figures, that lineage has become clearer with time.
It was also a first for AMG. The SLS was the division’s first production car engineered entirely in-house, developed as a complete vehicle rather than an adaptation. That clean-sheet approach extended to the Roadster itself, which was engineered from the outset with chassis reinforcements integrated into the aluminum structure rather than added later. The model’s positioning extended beyond the showroom, with the SLS also featured in official safety car duty in Formula One.
In Roadster form, the SLS occupies a different place in the market than the Gullwing. It trades at a meaningful discount, largely due to the absence of the doors that define the model visually. What it offers instead is the same platform and drivetrain in a more usable configuration. As Gullwing values have continued to rise, we expect Roadster values to follow, reflecting the same underlying car.
This example is finished in Iridium Silver Metallic over Exclusive Black/Anthracite leather and shows 9,288 miles. Factory carbon fiber interior trim is fitted, along with AMG adaptive suspension, red brake calipers, AMG twin five-spoke forged wheels, and an Alcantara-trimmed AMG steering wheel. The car remains in original configuration.
Across all three owners, the car remained consistently serviced at Silver Star Mercedes-Benz in Montreal. After importation to the United States in 2024, the car continued to receive authorized dealer care, including a Service A completed in January 2026 at Silver Star Motors Mercedes-Benz in New York City.
In the U.S., total SLS production is generally estimated at roughly 2,500 to 3,000 cars across all variants. The Roadster represents a smaller portion of that total, with U.S. examples numbering in the high hundreds rather than the thousands. Delivered new to Canada and later imported, this car effectively adds one more Roadster to the U.S. count.
Securely stored in Brooklyn, New York and ready for delivery, with books, tools, and one key included.
