2003 Mercedes Sl55 Amg Silver Dipped In Matte White on 2040-cars
North Hollywood, California, United States
|
BEAUTIFUL Matte White 2003 SL55 AMG. *** This is a beautiful car that always receives looks & compliments. NO ONE can believe it's a 2003. - EXTREME Performance - V8 Supercharged Engine - Factory 493HP with 516lb of torque. 0-60 in only 4.5 Seconds. - AMG - Hand Made, better suspension, brakes, power and more. - Hard Top Convertible, retracts down in only 16 seconds First the not NOT so good: The car has a Salvage title and I bought it as such. I have pictures of the car prior to repairs, which are when the car is showing in silver car (I had it dipped in matte white since). I have fixed everything on the car and it drives beautifully. The SRS light is on because the driver side Knee airbag I did not replace. It costs about $300 to $500 and you can find it here on Ebay. I did not replace it because I did not think its necessary or provides any additional essential safety measure. Some codes do appear about rear lamps because some of the LED bulbs are out. The lights still work perfectly fine, but it shows a code because if any one of the LED is out it shows up. When I replaced the driver Airbag the replacement came in Charcoal color, and the rest of the interior is Black. I had it professionally sprayed but it does have some chipping as can be seen in pictures. If it bothers you, you can have it resprayed again or replace it with a Black one. The front bumper has two small cracks as seen in pictures. I do not recommend replacing it as its very expensive, and cracks easily if you're not very careful. I cracked it by parking over those small parking bricks. It hardly shows and the dip rubbery paint covers it up beautifully. The Good: The car has over $6,000 in performance upgrades per prior owner. He said he had upgraded the crank or drive shaft to a performance one which cost around $4,000. Also he had upgraded the suspension to make it more suitable for canyon driving through sharp turns. All in all he said he spent over $6K in these upgrades. The car drives beautifully and has unbelievable power. I tried to take photos as close as possible to show how beautiful the body works. It does not have any door dings and looks almost brand new. The car came with 19" Black series wheels which I still have. These wheels are very hard to come by and sell for upwards of $4,000 if you can find them. The passenger side front wheel is damaged from the collision it had sustained, but can still be driven on. I drove it on these wheels for about 2 months before changing. I personally do not like the way they look so I changed it to 20" XO Miami wheels. I have owned the car for a year now and have not had any issues with it. Only reason I am selling the car is because I am having twins and need a bigger car. I held on to it as long as I can, and my twins are due in July, so I am selling it now. If you're the winner of the Auction and would like the Black Series wheels along with the car I'll sell them for $2,000 additional. The car is located in Los Angeles, CA and I have the title on hand. I will entertain reasonable offers and reserve the right to end auction early. You are welcome to come test drive the car or send your mechanic/trusted party to inspect/test drive it. Please email me with any questions and bid only if you're serious about buying. Payments Methods accepted - $1,000 within 24 hours of auction end - If you write a check you will have to wait until it clears for Title and Car - Your bank can wire my bank the money - OR Cash in hand |

Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris
Thu, 11 Apr 2013It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.
Project Maybach is an absurd, awesome off-road electric coupe
Wed, Dec 1 2021Mercedes has created some mighty unusual concepts for the Maybach luxury brand. The Exelero high-speed test car and the Ultimate Luxury SUV sedan come to mind. But the Project Maybach, designed in collaboration with late fashion designer Virgil Abloh, may be the wildest yet, being an electric off-road coupe. It's not just the fact it's a two-door off-road coupe. It's the fact that it's a nearly 20-foot-long two-door off-road coupe. And it has very traditional proportions and lines, with a gargantuan front end, and a somewhat less gargantuan rear end. It's squared-off, but in a more elegant, midcentury luxury car way than say, a Hummer. And of course, it has a huge chrome grille and highly embellished taillights, complete with Maybach logos. And yet, this old-school coupe sits high off the ground. It rolls on small, steel-style wheels with chunky tires. It even has skid plates, bolt-on fender flares, rock rails and a roll cage with a roof basket. It's all painted in a matte tan paint that makes it look like a desert-ready expedition vehicle. It's even arguably practical for expedition work. The somewhat spartan-looking interior has tan leather seats that recline fully flat for sleeping. Being an electric car with long areas unoccupied by people, plus that roof basket, it likely has loads of cargo space. On the hood are solar panels that might provide a bit of range, but would at least be handy for recouping some power for accessories. The interior seems to have additional storage bins and tools stowed in special compartments around the cabin. As for the actual performance and range, well, Mercedes has nothing specific. That's not entirely surprising, since this seems to be solely a design exercise. As such, don't expect to see a production model anytime soon. Then again, off-road luxury vehicles are certainly popular. Maybe Mercedes would consider it if there were enough seriously wealthy customers expressing interest. Related video:
How long will the 'golden age' of performance last?
Sat, Mar 26 2016High-powered sports and luxury cars were everywhere at the New York Auto Show, prompting the obvious question for enthusiasts: How long will this golden age of performance last? Industry leaders have some time before regulations elevate the Corporate Average Fuel Economy level in 2025. Even then, they expect cars rippling with power to survive in some form. "Is it the end of an era," I don't think so," said Ola Kallenius, Daimler AG board member for Mercedes-Benz cars marketing and sales. "That performance element of individual mobility I don't think will ever go away." Kallenius, who oversaw the company's AMG division from 2010-2013, expects it to continue to grow. Last year, AMG sold a record 68,875 units around the world, an increase of 44.6 percent over 2014, with strong growth in the US, China, and Germany. Still, there's always the potential for gas to spike, and pending fuel economy regulations are looming. That could lead AMG to add electrification to its products, Kallenius said, pointing to the electric SLS as a test case. Chevy is also thinking ahead, said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro. He wouldn't bite when asked about electrification for the Camaro (he did say "never say never"), but admitted in 2025 "it's going to be pretty tough to sell V8s." For now, things are rosy for muscle cars, and Chevy confidently showcased the 640-hp Camaro ZL1 in coupe and convertible form in New York. "I think that this is truly the golden age of performance," Oppenheiser said. It's hard to disagree. News & Analysis News: The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF was a show-stopper in New York. Analysis: There was a palpable energy when this RF — for Retractable Fastback — was revealed the night before the show at a trendy off-site venue near the Hudson River. Even as a parade of SUVs and flashy luxury cars rolled out the rest of the week, the Miata remained a hot topic. The Retractable Fastback is really a clever targa top, with part of the roof stowing behind the seats, adding about 100 pounds compared to the standard convertible. It makes the car more practical and arguably more attractive. The RF continues Mazda's tradition of selling the Miata with a hardtop variant. The first and second generations offered a detachable one, and a power retractable hardtop (a $1,700 option) was available on third-gen models. Judging by its reception in New York, the RF could prove to be even more popular than its predecessors.
