AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class R230, introduced in 2001, belongs to the most technologically advanced generations of the legendary Mercedes-Benz roadster. With its timeless design, innovative technology and high-quality finish, the R230 combines sporty performance with exceptional comfort. The characteristic electrically operated Vario Roof, the advanced Active Body Control suspension and the luxurious interior made this generation one of the most desirable luxury convertibles of its time.
In 2006 Mercedes-Benz introduced the refreshed SL550 for model year 2007, as successor to the earlier SL500 on the American market. The major improvement was the introduction of the atmospheric 5.5-liter M273 V8 engine, delivering no less than 382 hp and 530 Nm of torque. In combination with the refined 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission, the SL550 offers powerful acceleration, smooth power delivery and excellent long-distance capabilities.
This particular example is finished in the elegant and timeless Cubanite Silver Metallic color (723U), paired with a luxurious beige leather interior (215A). This color combination perfectly suits the stylish character of the SL550 and emphasizes the elegant proportions and timeless design of this roadster.
According to the original factory specifications, this Mercedes features an extensive luxury equipment list, including Active Body Control suspension, COMAND DVD navigation, a premium Bose surround sound audio system, power-adjustable and heated leather seats with memory, a wood-trimmed steering wheel, automatic climate control and original 18-inch Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels.
EXTERIOR:
The body is finished in the original factory color Cubanite Silver Metallic (paint code 723U), an elegant silver-gray metallic shade that complements the classic lines of the R230 SL-Class particularly well.
The car presents itself generally well, with an even metallic gloss on the visible body panels. The characteristic long hood, beautifully formed fenders, side air intakes and flowing rear provide the SL550 with its distinctive Gran Turismo appearance.
The car is equipped with the original Mercedes-Benz grille, chrome exterior details, signature dual headlamp units and original 18-inch Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels with ten spokes.
The electrically operated aluminum Vario Roof is finished in the same body color. With the roof closed, the car has the look and comfort of a stylish coupe, while the roof can be fully stowed to transform the SL550 into a sleek two-seat convertible.
TECHNICAL
This Mercedes-Benz SL550 is equipped with the atmospheric 5.5-liter M273 V8 gasoline engine, producing 382 hp and a maximum torque of 530 Nm. The engine is paired with the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission, delivering power to the rear wheels.
The M273 V8 is known for its smooth power delivery and refined character, traits that fit perfectly with the comfortable Gran Turismo concept of the SL550. With an acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in about 5.3 seconds, this roadster delivers impressive performance without compromising the comfort expected of a Mercedes-Benz in this class.
The car features the advanced Mercedes-Benz Active Body Control (ABC) system. This electrohydraulic suspension is designed to limit body roll, dive during braking and other unwanted body motions. This technology was one of the key innovations of the R230 generation and contributes to the combination of comfortable driving behavior and good road manners.
Furthermore the SL550 features electronic stability control, ABS, Brake Assist, speed-sensitive steering assist and disc brakes all around.
The original factory documentation confirms the presence of the seven-speed automatic transmission, ABC suspension and original 18-inch alloy wheels with different tire sizes front and rear.
Current odometer reads 114,239 miles.
INTERIOR
The interior is finished in the original beige leather (interior code 215A), which forms a particularly attractive combination with the Cubanite Silver Metallic body color.
The interior reflects the luxurious character of the R230 generation, with generously upholstered leather seats, an elegantly shaped dashboard, decorative trim and the characteristic Mercedes-Benz attention to comfort and ergonomics.
The original seats feature perforated center sections, integrated head restraints and electric adjustment. The leather upholstery is complete and visually in well-kept condition. There are visible creases and normal signs of use. These signs of use are consistent with the car’s age and mileage.
The interior further features a multifunctional steering wheel with leather and wood finish, a matching wood-trimmed gear selector and decorative wood-toned finish on the center console. The dashboard is finished in a contrasting dark color, providing a stylish two-tone look.
The car is equipped with the original Mercedes-Benz COMAND infotainment system with DVD navigation and audio control. According to factory data, the car also features a premium Bose surround sound system, integrated CD changer, Sirius satellite radio and automatic climate control.
Both front seats are electrically adjustable and have memory functions and seat heating, contributing to comfort on longer journeys. In addition, the car is equipped with cruise control, power windows, auto-dimming mirrors and an integrated garage door opener.
Overall, the interior still exudes the elegant appearance and luxurious atmosphere that are characteristic of the Mercedes-Benz SL550, with an attractive original color combination and comprehensive equipment.
