To celebrate the anniversary of the original 1957 300SL Roadster, Mercedes has created a limited edition SL550. Powered by a 382-horsepower, 5.5 liter V-8 engine, this SL has a luxurious Pewter metallic exterior, Cognac Brown Leather Upholstery, and Black Ash wood interior trim.
I’m not usually a fan of the pewter finish, but in a world of silver Mercedes’ it looks pretty darn good. Another highlight of the new SL is the 18-inch Twin-Spoke wheels. Pictured below, these wheels are not available on any other SL.
Hurry up and get one, apparently there aren’t that many that are going to be made. More specifications after the jump.
