    Hexagon Classics are delighted to offer this SLS Roadster, which is presented beautifully in a classic colour combination. To celebrate the car and the heritage of Mercedes, in 2010, the company came out with its new flagship model, the SLS. The all new SLS very much resembled the original 1950’s 300 SL in terms of its appearance.

Jeremy Clarkson reviewed the SLS Roadster thus, “The roof is fast, you get all the usual Mercedes trimmings and the price is about £30,000 less than I was expecting. I would quite understand why you’d buy a Ferrari 458 instead. It’s a better driver’s car. And I’d be stumped if someone asked why the SLS costs twice as much as the ostensibly similar Jaguar XKR. Really, it’s a question of each to his own. Some people like to play golf. Some like to build dams. Some prefer the delicacy of an Italian supercar. Some, the charm of a Jag. But if you “get” the SLS, nothing else will do.”

Car magazine wrote, “Sitting so far back beneath the bonnet that it’s entirely behind the front axle to give the best possible weight distribution in a front-engined rear drive car, the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the world barks into life with a burst of unsolicited throttle in the manner of all modern performance cars. Start-up stealth is out of the question.” AMG’s 6.3 litre V8 has been even further tweaked for installation here, now developing a wholesome 563bhp and 479lb ft of torque. Via a dual-clutch, seven-speed automatic transmission with flappy paddle override, this will fling the SLS Roadster at the horizon, from a standstill to 62mph in just 3.8 seconds, and on to 197mph.

Supplied new by Mercedes-Benz UK in June 2013, and boasting a complete Mercedes-Benz main dealer history, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire one of the most hailed sports cars of the last decade. It is available for viewing now at our London showroom.
