It started more than 50 years ago: the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing and Roadster redefined the sports car with an unrivalled blend of performance, technological innovation and jaw-dropping beauty. So it’s fitting that over half a century later, the direct descendant of the legend should become the dream car of a new generation.

As the latest addition to the Mercedes-Benz AMG range, the SLS AMG Roadster embodies the AMG philosophy of superlative German engineering and uncompromising craftsmanship. Derived directly from the stunning SLS AMG Coupé, the Roadster retains its sibling’s beautiful proportions, but by trading the iconic Gullwing doors for a soft top, it offers something altogether new: the excitement of open-top driving coupled with the very best performance and driving dynamics.
