The SL550 is one of the most timeless European roadster cars in the world. These cars deliver on the whole idea of a GT car with the added benefit of having a convertible top. Want to cover lots of miles at a high speed and be comfortable the whole time? This is for you.
Featured on AutoHunter is a pretty rare version of one of these cars, a 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL550 White Arrow Edition.
The SL550 White Arrow Edition was only on 400 total cars, and as a $10,125.00 option, it brought the price when new up to $123,595. This car features an exclusive paint scheme of Designo Magno Cashmere White with a contrasting black roof and a black Nappa and Designo Platinum White leather interior. Options include Premium Package, Driver Assistance Package, 19″ AMG double-spoke wheels, a power-retractable hardtop, bi-xenon headlights, a panoramic roof, heated and ventilated multicontour power-adjustable seats. In addition you have Airscarf neck-level heating, a back-up camera, parking sensors, Distronic Plus adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, Lane Keep Assist, Night View Assist Plus, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
The seller describes this SL550 as an example that has been very well maintained since new, which coincides with the car’s CARFAX report. The car is riding on 285/30 Yokohama Advan Sport A/S radial tires.
The exterior of this special SL550 looks to be in truly excellent condition with paint that seems to show no imperfections whatsoever. Basically it looks to be as nice as it was when new.
The interior is the same with the AMG style leather that looks to be without any issues. In addition the special Designo Black Piano lacquer wood trim has no visible issues anywhere. This looks to be an extremely well cared for Mercedes SL.
Under the hood is the Mercedes Biturbo 4.7L V8 engine that features 429 horsepower at 5,250 rpm and 516 lb-ft of torque at 1,800 at 3,500 rpm. This gives the SL550 a 0-60 time of 4.1 seconds, a 1/2 mile of 12.5 seconds, and an as tested top speed of 159 mph, which are pretty amazing numbers for a 4,139 lb. car.
Personally I like the retro look of the black roof combined with the white paint. It’s kind of a throwback to the Pagoda Mercedes roadster paint schemes of the 1960s, and it looks good on this car. Combine that with the AMG wheels and the tasteful two tone interior, and it all works to make this SL550 a bit more special than the rest.
