The exceptional design of the SL Grand Edition includes some exceptional detailing – such as the black louvre in the AMG radiator grille or the two tailpipes with vertical partition. Our high standards are also clearly apparent at the sides: matt silver air outlets that look like gills with chromed cross struts; high-gloss door handles and door sill panels; and the Mercedes-Benz logo on the front brake calipers. Even when the car is at a standstill, the AMG 5-spoke bicolor lightalloy wheels with a high-sheen finish exude consummate sportiness. These are just some of the reasons why the decision in favour of the SL Grand Edition is such an easy one.

The only thing actually better than looking at this interior is driving in it, as you sit on comfortable nappa leather, while the 7G-TRONIC sports transmission helps to deliver powerful acceleration with its exceptionally fast gear changes. KEYLESS-GO gets you off to a blistering start. A dab of the brake pedal and a brief press of a button are all it takes to fire the engine. As the name suggests, you won't need a key. The start/stop button is located under a cover on the selector lever. In addition to this sporty, exclusive equipment, there are further details to feast your eyes on, such as the prism-pattern aluminium trim, the chromed ventilation outlet surrounds and the high-gloss draught-stop. Even the Mercedes-Benz AIRSCARF system, which warms the head and neck areas of the driver and passenger, has a silver-coloured finish. Together with the standard-fit heated seats, this innovation allows you do drive with the roof down at practically any time of year.
