anyone who is into vision boards and law of attraction will really really appreciate this style of video. can't believe no one else is doing this. thumbs up!
Thanks for the video. Well done. Just gotta convince the wife that I need the SL550 instead of my SLK350, which is in great condition and runs great. I love what they've done starting in 2013 with the SL550. Awesome vehicle.
Just bought a low mileage 2014 R231 SL500 (called SL550 in USA) in Hyacinth red with cream leather. Love the looks, love the way it drives. Love the quality, Love the very high performance. A lot more than i expected. No need for AMG63. And I appreciate that it's an almost all aluminium engineering masterpiece. Probably a long term investment. As i can't see such masterpieces being made in future. Yet not much dearer than an SLK55 of similar mileage & age. But a lot more car for the money. Would have cost around £40k more than the SLK55 new but all this for only around £3k more second hand. Though the SLK is excellent as a smaller roadster with a large engine. Horses for courses.
My dad just got my mom one of these and its AMAZING! you'd have to drive it to understand why it costs $115k, the torque is insane, and i got obsessed with pressing the gas a little to hear the turbos spool up lol
Its called "Magic Sky Control". The roof glass is electrochromic (like a rearview mirror). The intensity of light distribution through the glass is variable. AKA: at the press of a button, the roof can darken or brighten. Mercedes needed to make back some of the money invested in the Maybach's "modular roof system"...
patfromozZ I'm with you, the 2003 R230 SL, as it was called, was so much sexier than the current one, with those round headlights and sleek bodylines. The 2003 is still my second favorite SL after the original 1954 W198 300SL.
WindingRoad, you are the innovator of TV car videos. Shut them up, these hosts with stupid specs and opinions, we already know them. What we need is feeling of the car transmitted through the internet. Thank you very much.
I do believe that you are the best Internent automotive site and I so enjoy watching your videos. You are driving my dream car in this video...maybe some day! Now, I know that power can be addictive and once or twice really getting into all of that power is fun, but my God man, that's a $120,000.00 plus automobile.If I was so very lucky to be able to have the manufactures give me those kind of machines perhaps being on the side of conservative with the burnouts,no? Just saying? Keep'em coming!
I have been looking at M6, M3, M4, Boxsters, 350z and etc. I never thought to check out the SL, but it was love at first sight. I am going to buy one of these as a weekend car within a year......unless C7 drop 10k :)
I've got a 2004 SL55 AMG and I almost "never" drive it in Sport mode; this beast is driven "strictly in MANUAL!" :-) Let's get another with manual shift...
cause he set the gearbox to "S=sports" mode and not in "M=Manual" which basically means the gearbox keeps the rpm/gear for best and quick acceleration. If he would have been in "M" the car will do everything the Driver wants it to do. 7G-Tronic Plus is fine. OFC you should take the 7MCT-Speedshift if you want a high performance gearbox. Dont tell shit to people you dont even have a clue about.
Where I live in Washington State nobody follows the speed limit, you will see regular cars going 40-50 on a 30 MPH speed limit area. And the free way its 70-80. Cops do the same even when just driving without sirens
Great car. My mother has always been in love with the MB SL-class. However I didn't realize that the SL is so tail-happy. During the video the tail spun out many times. Was the ESP turned off or something?
no not diesel bro. it is noisy for your taste because M Benz and BMW do not use time-belt. like cadillac who are first introduce it in the late 90s. although who invented the time-belt is german but yet german manufacturer are not convinced to use it. it is due to reliability and maintenance that time belt need to be changed every80 to 120,000 km. Honda don't use it too.
There hasn't been and probably never will be a Mercedes SL with a disel engine. The diesel like knocking is caused by the direct injection. But a diesel engine still sounds very different.
Great car! Love the new SL. I test drove an SL65 AMG and that thing was the best car i've ever driven! That car is alive! It's like an insane, sexy woman, unleashing hell on the world! I love that car! BTW: Where did you mount the camera. On a hat/ helmet or something. I want to make such a video, but i have no idea where to put the camera...
The most aggressive driving from this guy that I've seen.
This new line of the SL550 is faster than you think.
Saw one of these going down the road the other day. Absolutely gorgeous! I'd love to get behind the wheel of one.
That auto-dimming sunroof has to be the coolest thing I've seen on a car in while.
My dad just got pretty much this exact car. Except he had the wood trim and wood steering wheel.
Such a sexy machine, love the matte grey finish too
Gotta have the wood steering wheel. It feels like quality
anyone who is into vision boards and law of attraction will really really appreciate this style of video. can't believe no one else is doing this. thumbs up!
Lol Who Needs an 63 AMG , that sound from the 550 is awsome .

i like the exterior, better than most other mercs imo
My dad just got my mom one of these and its AMAZING! you'd have to drive it to understand why it costs $115k, the torque is insane, and i got obsessed with pressing the gas a little to hear the turbos spool up lol
Love your reviews. Letting the car speak for its self is priceless. Can you do the FO 550 Benz.
I can tell that this car can be quite a handful indeed...beautiful machine!
Its called "Magic Sky Control". The roof glass is electrochromic (like a rearview mirror). The intensity of light distribution through the glass is variable. AKA: at the press of a button, the roof can darken or brighten. Mercedes needed to make back some of the money invested in the Maybach's "modular roof system"...
I really want to like the look of that car the same way I loved the 2003 model when I first saw it but this model just hasn't grown on me.
patfromozZ I'm with you, the 2003 R230 SL, as it was called, was so much sexier than the current one, with those round headlights and sleek bodylines. The 2003 is still my second favorite SL after the original 1954 W198 300SL.
I prefer this to the R230.
I love this channel
it really gives you the dealing that you are actually in the car
the dealing huh?
Frank Assnot the fealing lol
WindingRoad, you are the innovator of TV car videos. Shut them up, these hosts with stupid specs and opinions, we already know them. What we need is feeling of the car transmitted through the internet. Thank you very much.
loud idling motor dont you think... but that roof transforms so quickly... amazing

Wow, this was the first time I saw a video of this genre. "No words" told what 1000 words would have told. Enjoyed mega. thanks
true
you really need to hold that beast!!! GREAT VIDEO.
BTW. pretty awesome that even with the roof dow, it's pretty quiet.
That car has some serious power.
I have been looking at M6, M3, M4, Boxsters, 350z and etc. I never thought to check out the SL, but it was love at first sight. I am going to buy one of these as a weekend car within a year......unless C7 drop 10k :)
I have the 2013 SL 350, V7 3.5L. What a car!
Holy shit, headphones do make a big difference. 4:55 sounded awesome! Keep it up
Was the traction control on? If so, it seems to let you have fun too which is awesome!
the looks are growing on me
Love this channel,
You helped me make a good decision. (I just got the F-Type)
This car is flawless IMO.
I've got a 2004 SL55 AMG and I almost "never" drive it in Sport mode; this beast is driven "strictly in MANUAL!" :-) Let's get another with manual shift...
first person camera looks amazing! thank you!
what kind of brakes... those were amazing
Those are the Mercedes-Benz sport brakes that come with the wheel package for the model.
Nice Driving Bro!
This is really a great car to cruise around. 400bhp and the cabriolet version what else more ?
HI if have you driven facelift also ?? how is handling different compared to this one ?
best car test ever, thanks
True but can't one change it after purchasing the car or will it not pass the safety inspections and cops might target it?
I think it might be a strobe effect between the LCD display and the frame rate of the video camera.
JUST DRIVE IT ALREADY!!!
Andi Mauer cuz its the US version, same as sl500
What a car, man!
I love your channel ! Keep it up guys. SUBSCRIBED!

@kelleredison why don't u watch the AARP version if you don't wanna see burnouts.
Smoothe ride and strong engine is the best
Still look brand new 10 years later
Amazing vid and channel. U just got yourself a subscriber :)
I have to give cred for the rear, they've captured the calssic look. Front looks kinda "meeeeh"
wasswp, i like mt. skinny expansion what's your opinion about"it 11
Yes! Yes! Yes!
are you tested 2013 slk55 amg awsome car
Where I live in Washington State nobody follows the speed limit, you will see regular cars going 40-50 on a 30 MPH speed limit area. And the free way its 70-80. Cops do the same even when just driving without sirens

bryanb16th It’s called power, you bellend
The guy is really nervous behind the wheel. Some snappy movements of the wheel there.
Excellent video , thanks for sharing
Did you get the heated steering wheel?
Thats frikkin amazing
no not diesel bro. it is noisy for your taste because M Benz and BMW do not use time-belt. like cadillac who are first introduce it in the late 90s. although who invented the time-belt is german but yet german manufacturer are not convinced to use it. it is due to reliability and maintenance that time belt need to be changed every80 to 120,000 km. Honda don't use it too.
LED lighting sometimes blink when viewed through the lens of cameras.
please do another guess the car video!!!
on 5:08 you can see, that the gearbox doesn´t shift down when the driver want it to do. The DKG from an M3 is way better.
I really want one so bad!!! I'll have to work extra hard to earn and buy this~! wait for me Merc! :D
Richky Raymond do you have it already?
I hope u get it man
@@czblax888 nu uh, not yet 😅
@@jerrycannonjr.7492 well thank you for the wish!
Richky Raymond I’ll ask you the same question in another 6 years
Stunnlng. What's up, gwys. superficial real 1!
How was the ride overall in means of comfort? Was it rough or smooth?
Yes
There hasn't been and probably never will be a Mercedes SL with a disel engine. The diesel like knocking is caused by the direct injection. But a diesel engine still sounds very different.
I live in Germany and i See every Day this cars
i'm confused because in germany we can decide between a sl 350; sl 500; sl 63 amg; sl 65 amg; but theres no sl 550 ... but nice car ! :D
Perfect car 😍
I want to hear that B&O stereo. It's like a $7K option.
no. there IS a SL 350 with a V6 engine.
Or the SL 350 only exists here in Germany and not in America, this could be :o
What is the care for a matte paint?
GREAT Videography !!! BEST I have seen . More car..less chatter =)
Dat sun roof doe!👍
There is no V6, and there is no 350, al SL's are v8/v12, the sl350 v6 you talk about is probably the SLK, which is 350 v6.
now thats what i call a spacious trunk
u should do a bugatti review
Holy shit.....
The gearbox didn´t shift down, because it was the lowest possible gear. It would have exceeded the max rpm
nice video :)

Deadly machine I love it . But why don't put msg on the videos are you Dumb we love to know about the car's features???
Well where I live, Texas, you do need front plates and it makes the front of Audi's in particular look like a mess.
Looks like you almost lost control a few times with all those horsies!
The SL350 has a V6, the SL500 V8 , this one V8, the SL63 V8 , and the SL65 has a V12 ! And there's no diesels !
Nice Car !!!
I would not let this guy near my SL550, geesh!
Driving simulators should look like this ;D
What city was this video taken in?
Shoofi Talje I was wondering the same. Looks like Indiana.
I just saw the license plate, it was Illinois
Can you do the GL 550 Benz.
SOOOO DAMN tail happy at 8:00
best job ever. -.-
beautiful
very nice car!!!!
Is this stock exhaust???
