Living down under and craving for a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG? Well, guess what? Mercedes-Benz recently revealed how much it would take for an Aussie to own an SLS. Starting at around $464,000, more than 40 SLS vehicles have been paid for, in Australia, and are set to be delivered this August.
Mercedes-Benz Australia Managing Director Horst von Sanden gave out the scoop on the current demand for the SLS in the country, which was far greater than expected. Even while they’re still waiting for the units to arrive and with months to go before deliveries go underway, orders are already piling up fast.
With reservations and payouts flooding in, Sanden fears they may run out of SLS units and not be able to keep up with the year’s demand.
It’s no wonder why the Aussies are so into the SLS. It’s one of the lightest supercars ever to grace the market, and with a racing heritage that it earned from its ancestor, the 300SL Gullwing, it’s a must-have for Mercedes-Benz collectors everywhere.
The 6.2-liter V8 engine delivers an astonishing 420kW power and 650Nm torque. Coupled with a curb weight of 1,620kg and a 47-53 weight distribution, it’s Hermes on wheels.
