Look who's missing driving his own SLS

The SLS looks so elegant

Mercedes to me was honestly at the top of it's game by the late 2000's and early 2010's, I still remember being 6 and hearing so much about the SLS

In my opinion this is the most perfect reinterpretation of a classic in car history

My favorite car of all time ❤️

Finally a new video! Glad to see you're back.

Thanks for putting this together, as an SLS owner its so good to hear someone put this story in one place.

Dream car is the SLS. As soon as Shmee posted this I had to watch it.

Simply outstanding! We just acquired our own SLS AMG GT Final Edition Roadster and absolutely love it! Now the hunt for the Final Edition coupe/Gullwing begins…

After a long time

I own the 2013 SL 550 , why don’t these models get the attention they deserve? It’s a beautiful car,very powerful,very well made....if you tune the ECU you get 545hp/714trq it truly is a dream machine. Loved you video😉👍

I love the SLS I’d like to have one someday in my garage.

Thank you, polished presentation 👍amazing cars. I serviced 300SL's and 300SEL 6.3 as a Star Technician when I first started my career at a MB Dealership. Amazing performance from a tube chassis, single cam shaft, drum brakes. And the then sophisticated air suspension, fuel injection, brute of the 6.3. I feel I know this SLS family because I spent so much of my life with the grand parents. Engineered like no in other car - Mercedes-Benz 🏆🏁✌️🇺🇲

Wonderfully done! I loved your video nicely done, good job👏. Regards from a 2014 final edition owner.

Thank you for this thoroughly researched documentary! It considered all aspects of the SLS, although I need to add the fact that the M159 is still used in its newer GT3 variant, proving again the astounding durability of this engine.

All of your videos are well researched, fun to watch and highly educating. This one is no exception. I knew that the SLS is one of the most beautiful cars ever built. But now I also know how it was built everything that went into it. I also found out about the special editions beside the electric version and the Black Series, I didn't know about those before. On the topic of black series, I'm sad that you don't like the look and while I disagree with your opinion, I understand what you mean saying it looks like a toy. But I think quite a few of the GT3s features would not be appreciated by our friends at the TÜV so adopting the look of that car was probably not an option. Anyway, I'm happy to hear that you got to experience this beautiful car first hand, I wish I could too someday.

Thank you very much, great that you enjoyed the video! Also appreciate your feedback on the Black Series “controversy”. I knew I’m pretty alone on that point 😁

Best video I have ever seen on the SLS! From visiting Affalterbach in 2010 to having one in the family since 2015 I’m a huge fan of this car, and seeing this in my feed made my day!

I can tell by your name that you like this car!

Recently laid my eyes upon the 300SL at Peterson Automotive Museum in LA. What a beaut! I have to say the SLS is equally as epic!

Amazing video! The sls is such a beautiful car. Sounds amazing as well. And that Black series - it's my dreamcar

Thank you for actually using the terms rear-mid engine and front-mid engine instead of erroneously just saying mid engine and front engine like so many others do

Thank you very very much for these detailed documentaries. I am so glad to have found your channel. Greetings from Germany

even in modern motorsports 2019-2020 the GT3 competition models still were using the M159 motors, even though the newer AMG GT's sported a more modern 4L bi-turbo V8's, M159's were more reliable and suited for track use. Says a lot about the original M156 motor design...

Excellent video! Thank you very much, I learned a lot.

Really good video from my new favourite channel. Can’t wait to see what you come up with in the future of your already great catalog.

Realmente un documental de calidad

My favorite car if all time🤩

Great video. Can't wait fr the next one. I'd like videos for every class Mercedes have made but I trust you know wat you are doing. Danke

Fantastic video, one of the most superb cars to be created in my opinion. Thank you for all this effort and going into such great detail.

The ruler of V8 M156

Kudos to you for presenting such an informative, entertaining, and beautifully produced video that mirrors the quality of your subject, the fabled SLS. This is easily one of the top three car videos I've seen on KZread, and I've seen a lot of car videos.

@@Gullwingman No need to apologise, it's all part of my job. 😉 I edit and write for a diecast model magazine in the UK, with a particular penchant for vehicles out of Stuttgart (both big names). 😉 Thanks again for your awesome work!

You harp on about how iconic the gullwing doors are, and of course they are, but you fail to mention that the original 300SL ROADSTER is a much improved and far superior car to the coupe; It had more power and handled significantly better. I'd take a roadster for it's sleeker looks and to hear the engine. I don't particularly like the mandatory alcantara, black gloss, and red accents in the gt interior. Oh and it makes little sense to compare the softer 812SF to the hardened SLS Black Series, it would make sense to compare it to the track variant (Copetizione or F12TDF). I've seen a video of a regular F12 lapping the Nurburgring in 7:08.

If they just would have brought the C112 a midengine v12 with gullwing doors and minimalist design ?? This would have been a legendary car. This so sad. I love the 300 SL gullwing. And I love Mercedes V12s. Who is responsible for not greenlighting this car, Mercedes could have done something truly special.

Yet another exquisit video from a true conoisseur. Don't share your taste though - I would have a normal Roadster in black with a red top. Not only find the marketing-driven gullwing doors too much, am too selfish to let others have 90% of the soundtrack. As a poor person though, am saving for an R171 SLK 55 instead...

Love the video! Great job putting this together! (One thing, however, you keep saying “half a decade” when I think you mean “half a century”)

Please make a video of the history of mercedes black series

How about a CW311 and Isdera 108i?

damn 4 months of waiting 😂

Try up to $1.2 Million in Australia 👑😎

33:48 is my man forgetting the successor to the 2 previous supercars before this😐 AMG GT

I think you misspoke @9:54 when you said 300SL. I think you meant to say half a century.

How did Mercedes get the SLS AMG Black Series M159 engine to rev to 8,000 rpm - isn’t it a cross-plane V8?? And a big 6.2 Liter engine at that (easier to get a smaller engine to rev higher than a larger engine).

The first super car in the world it was 300 sl gullwing

I think Porsche had a hybrid 911 around that time but I can’t remember. It was for sure the first completely electric super car.

Great video through and through. Script wise, it’s a bit sad that you keep saying « half a decade » - which is only 5 years - when what you meant was « half a century ». :-/

Du verwechselst Decade mit Century. Decade sind 10, Century 100 Jahre

I don't like the ''Black Series'', also. )-: In my opinion that huge permanent back spoiler is too ugly and creates drag on high speed. )-:

Thanks for that. The car is on my new list of cars to buy! I really look forward to it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/k3iuo8uHicjLe9Y.html I am expecting it to sound like my old Edition 507 C63 wrapped up in that amazing body. Am after a silver car with red leather ideally but would settle for silver with black, or black with red, if the spec is otherwise perfect. Cheers. Ade

Bmw has nothing on mercedes

My only gribe I can think of... can you pay to have that obtrusive fuel-lid painted over with the same color as the chassis? AMG Le Mans Rot.

A lot of false information within 9mins into the video. Not gonna learn false information buh-bys✌️😂
