The SLS AMG revived the gullwing doors of the 300 SL, and silver over red recalls the original’s classic combination. This one has covered very few miles with a single owner and carries 19-inch and 20-inch wheels, a retractable airfoil, bi-xenon headlights, heated AMG sport seats, Keyless Go, and COMAND navigation. Bidding stands at $200,420 with six days remaining and five bids placed.

What it’s worth right now
Low-mileage SLS coupes have sold strongly in 2026. According to The Supercar Blog, a 3,500-mile 2011 SLS in silver over Designo Classic Red sold for $350,000 in May 2026, a 4,800-mile 2012 example brought $312,222, and a 12,000-mile 2011 sold for $295,000.
Its mileage and history place this one at the top of those results. The single ownership, 4,300 miles, silver-over-red specification, and complete records help, while the bumper scrapes and the auction setting temper the number. Fair value lands between $320,000 and $400,000, with $360,000 most likely. The current bid of $200,420 has six days to run against a reserve.

The cabin is in Designo Classic Red. Heated power AMG sport seats in red and black leather extend the red to the lower dash, console, and door inserts, with aluminum trim, a rearview camera, Keyless Go, dual-zone climate control, and COMAND navigation. The seller states the car has been kept in a climate-controlled garage since new.

Maintenance is documented. The driver door struts were replaced in April 2023, and the battery was replaced in August 2026. The window sticker shows delivery to Mercedes-Benz of Pompano and a total of $186,325, and service records accompany the sale. The Carfax is clean, and the Florida title is clean. A pre-purchase inspection should check the age of the tires and the dual-clutch transmission.

What makes the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG unique
The SLS AMG was the first car developed entirely by AMG, reviving the gullwing doors of the 1950s 300 SL. It paired a front-mid-mounted, hand-built 6.2-liter V8 with an aluminum space frame and a rear transaxle, and it remains one of the last naturally aspirated Mercedes sports cars.

Low-mileage coupes have become modern collectibles. Many now sell for more than their original price, and silver over red, the classic Gullwing combination, carries particular appeal. Single-owner cars with complete records sit at the top of the market.
My take
At $200,420 with five bids and six days to run, my call is $360,000, with $400,000 possible if collectors compete for the one-owner history. What makes it compelling is its preservation, since a 4,300-mile, single-owner SLS in silver over red with complete records is among the most desirable examples available. What tempers it is the minor bumper scrapes. Check the tire age, then bid.
