2004 Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG – Supercharged V8 Convertible Muscle
There’s fast… and then there’s AMG fast. This 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG blends blistering performance with drop-top luxury in a way only AMG can. Under the bonnet is the mighty 5.5L V8 Kompressor — a supercharged powerhouse pushing out over 350kW and 700Nm, making it one of the fastest cars of its era.
Finished in classic Silver with a grey leather interior, this SL shows 166 000 km and still delivers that iconic AMG punch. The hardtop folding roof functions as it should, transforming it from coupe to convertible in seconds.
Inside, it’s all about grand touring comfort with signature AMG touches, from the contoured leather seats to the performance steering wheel and brushed aluminium finishes.
The car has a partial service history. The battery warning light is on, although the batteries are still charging. The fuel tank has loose baffles which cause a slight rattle, and the paintwork is fair for its age with some patina expected at this mileage.
The SL 55 AMG is fast becoming a modern classic. With a thunderous V8 soundtrack and road presence to match, this is an opportunity to own an iconic piece of early 2000s Mercedes-Benz engineering, at a fraction of its original cost.
