This 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is finished in Le Mans Red (434) over Designo Classic Red Leather (507) and is powered by a hand-built AMG 6.2-liter M159 V8 paired with a rear-mounted seven-speed DCT driving the rear wheels. Factory equipment includes Bi-Xenon headlamps, an electrically-adjustable rear spoiler, Keyless-Go, Parktronic with parking assist, a rear view camera, carbon fiber door mirrors, carbon fiber interior trim, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, heated sport seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a fire extinguisher, double wishbone AMG suspension and a ceramic high-performance braking system. Recent maintenance included an oil change, new engine and transmission mounts, spark plugs, pulleys and a transmission fluid flush. Now showing 19k km (~12k miles), this SLS AMG is offered for sale by the current owner in Dubai, UAE with the original manufacturer’s literature and a clean UAE title in the seller’s name.
The aluminum bodywork is finished in Le Mans Red (434) and features gullwing doors with retractable handles, carbon fiber door mirrors and carbon fiber door sill trim. Exterior equipment includes Bi-Xenon headlamps, LED daytime running lights, Parktronic with parking assist, a rearview camera, an aluminum fuel door, an electronically-adjustable rear spoiler and integrated exhaust tips. The body shows no signs of damage and the paint is believed to be original.
Staggered 19”/20” ten-spoke forged wheels wear a machined face and come fitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires measuring 265/35R19 front and 295/30R20 rear. The tires were fitted by the current owner in April 2023. The optional AMG ceramic high-performance composite braking system features orange-painted calipers and ventilated carbon-ceramic discs.
The leather/alcantara sport steering wheel fronts an AMG gauge cluster with white dials including a 360-km/h speedometer, a 9k-rpm tachometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. LED shift lights can be seen at the top of the cluster with a digital display mounted below showing 19k km or approximately 12k miles from new.
Power is provided by an AMG 6.2-liter M159 V8 engine which is equipped with a dry-sump lubrication system and is rated for 563 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a rear-mounted AMG SpeedShift seven-speed double-clutch transaxle with a limited-slip differential. An engine dry ice cleaning was performed in May of this year. Recent maintenance includes an engine oil change, new engine and transmission mounts, spark plugs, pulleys, a new air filter and a transmission fluid flush. Service history from current ownership is included and viewable in the photo gallery.
This SLS AMG was originally ordered to Qatar and delivered to its original owner in July 2010 before later being purchased by the current owner in 2022. This car is now being offered for sale by the current owner in Dubai, AUE with the original manufacturer’s literature, both remote keys and a clean UAE title in the seller’s name.
A walk-around video has been provided by the seller below.
A few years ago, the market was baffled by a relatively low demand for the SLS AMG. Articles talking about their affordability hailed it as the time to strike and the perfect position for a future-collectible AMG... boy were they right. The SLS AMG as a complete model has since seen a significant increase in values across the board, but these coupes can still command $100k+ more than their topless brethren. As the first fully-AMG engineered car of the modern era, the SLS has only gained value, respect and somehow become even more strikingly beautiful. Combine the experience with low production numbers, a dry sump V8, and a hint of 1950’s styling cues of the infamous 300SL and a winner was born. Finding a clean example in something other than black or white makes this an even more desirable find. Rest assured this one will not stay price-stagnant through the years... it’s an excellent investment that will pay dividends in both dollars and donuts.

If @seller had done some research as to how to import a car from Dubai to the US, he would have gotten a lot more bids and money than what it is now. I am talking about $50k more.$156,000 bid placed by @Taser

Hahaha...But everyone WANTS to live in CALIFORNIA. To import a car into the US is not an easy thing for an individual to do and requires many steps and lots of money...no matter what US state to import to. I wish it was easier because I love this car's specs and colorsGood news is, not everyone lives in California :)I have done some research, the specs on your car is great, but to bring it to the us and make it a us car under California emission requirements will cost another 55000 $ without shipping or tax and customs, some how I think bidder should do there own home work before getting stuck, I love the car and I wish I can even buy it and keep at my home in jordan but even there it has to be less than 5 years old to register$150,000 bid placed by @SilberSau

All GCC spec ( my car spec) cars are exactly like the European spec which i think they have similar if not more strict emission requirements than the us spec carsCan you contact the manufacturer, or the seller dealer to see if this car by the vin number was made to the US market or the Euroupian market please , and let us know . That will answer many things for you , also will determine how your auction will go . Because if not for the us marked it’s an emission problem, fixable but very costly.I can only answer the time it requires to ship the car will roughly be 45days by sea, however any questions involving emissions compliance i will not be able to answer as i dont know the requirements over there.How would one import the car into the US? How long does it take to ship it to the US? Would it be US compliant and more importantly California emissions compliant?$11,111 bid placed by @SilberSau
