For many, the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is a luxurious and modern car that combines elegance and sportiness. For others, it’s veritable icon of the past with a rich history that dates back to 1954. Whichever side of the fence you’re on, the SL continues to seduce buyers with its exotic lines and hard top that retracts in mere seconds. The SL 550 has a 4.7L V8 engine and there are also two AMG versions in the catalogue.
