Some cars define an era, the 2010 Mercedes SLS AMG transcends it—blending timeless design, breathtaking performance, and pure automotive theatre. This launch model SLS AMG will take its rightful place in the Automotive Wonderland – Curated by ArtNeun, at Wristwatch Check 2025 where enthusiasts of all kinds gather to celebrate machines that make history.
GULLWING GLORY
The most striking feature of the SLS AMG is its legendary upward-swinging doors—a direct homage to the 1954 300SL Gullwing. A marvel of engineering and design, these doors ensure that the SLS is instantly recognisable, turning every entrance and exit into a spectacle.
Beneath the elongated bonnet lies a naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8—one of the last of its kind—producing 563 horsepower. The sound alone is enough to send shivers down your spine, a deep mechanical roar that modern turbocharged engines simply cannot replicate.
With a long bonnet, short rear deck, and flush stance, the SLS AMG is a masterpiece of proportion. It looks fast even when standing still, embodying both elegance and menace in equal measure.
A JOURNEY ACROSS CONTINENTS
This SLS AMG has lived a life many can only dream of. Originally purchased in South Africa, it carved its way through the UK before embarking on an unforgettable grand tour across Europe. Now, it has found its way to Victoria, continuing its legacy as a globe-trotting automotive icon. More than just a car, it has been a passport to experiences that defy description.
Driving the entire length of France in a single day—flat out. The sheer power and endurance of the SLS made this an unforgettable experience for its owner, blending high-speed cruising with moments of pure adrenaline. Few cars could offer the same combination of refinement, comfort, and raw performance to make such a journey possible, let alone enjoyable.
The SLS AMG is the last of a dying breed. A naturally aspirated V8. A hand-built engine. Gullwing doors that modern regulations will never allow again. This car represents a golden age of automotive freedom and design, one that is slipping away in an era of downsizing and turbocharging.
