  • We take out this matte finished Shadow Grey SL550 for an in-depth visual tour and POV Test Drive. Enjoy!
    For the best experience, we recommend wearing a good set of headphones for the POV Test Drive. The audio in this video was recorded with binaural microphones that, when played back through headphones, give the feel of 3D sound. Trick stuff.

    The most aggressive driving from this guy that I've seen.
    This new line of the SL550 is faster than you think.

    Lol Who Needs an 63 AMG , that sound from the 550 is awsome .

    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

    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.

  • @patfromozZ
    @patfromozZ 10 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    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.

    • @hakeemsd70m
      @hakeemsd70m 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

    • @dw4525
      @dw4525 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I prefer this to the R230.

    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.

    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!

  • @rosefox6980
    @rosefox6980 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    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"...

    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.
