Car articles about Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG by year
Car fans once dreamed of top-of-the-range or super sports cars. Since the turn of the millennium, however, hypercars have been regarded as the ultimate in automotive transportation. But whether they offer real driving pleasure is doubtful. To prove this thesis, this article takes you through the development of the sports car up to the present day and shows many of the cars mentioned in pictures.
When the new Mercedes-Benz SL was presented in 2001, it left its popular predecessor far behind with its technology and at the same time offered a glimpse into the automotive future. Just a few weeks after the SL 500, the SL 55 AMG was also presented, which made it into the super sports car league in terms of performance. But how does this steam hammer feel almost 20 years later, now matured into a neo-classic and youngtimer? This driving report describes the history of the Mercedes-Benz R230 series and shows the SL 55 AMG and its siblings in many current and historical pictures. There is also a sound sample.
Turning racing success into vehicle sales has always been a goal of car manufacturers. And so, on the basis of the DTM successes from 2000 to 2003, a road coupé called the Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG was created, limited to 100 units, which skillfully combined dynamics, handling and suitability for everyday use. And became a good investment. This vehicle report tells the story of the coupé and shows it in many pictures.
When Mercedes-Benz presented the SLR Vision at the 1999 Detroit Motor Show, the uncompromisingly styled sports car with an almost infinitely long hood attracted a lot of attention. Such a car was not expected from Mercedes in particular. However, motorsport successes and the collaboration with McLaren made series production of the SLR in coupé and roadster form possible, even if the car was only affordable for a few. This vehicle report tells the story of the SLR, which was produced in very small numbers, and shows a Coupé of the 722 Edition in many pictures.
