This 2001 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission and is finished in Magma Red over black Nappa leather upholstery. Features include a removable hardtop, a black soft top, 18″ five-spoke AMG wheels, fog lights, heated power-adjustable seats, a Bose sound system, a remote six-disc CD changer, and automatic climate control.
The car is finished in Magma Red (586) and features a matching removable hardtop as well as a black soft top. Additional exterior equipment includes fog lights, fender air vents, and the AMG Styling Package, which added revised bumper covers and aerodynamic side skirts. The soft-top hydraulic cylinders and solenoid were replaced in 2024.
Silver-finished 18″ five-spoke AMG wheels are mounted with Falken tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. The steering damper was replaced in 2019.
The cabin features heated power-adjustable seats upholstered in black Nappa leather along with burl wood accents on the doors and center stack. Amenities include a deployable roll bar, a Bose sound system, a remote six-disc CD changer, a heated rear hardtop window, cruise control, and automatic climate control.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil temperature, fuel economy, and fuel level.
The 5.0-liter M113 V8 was factory-rated at 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. The valve cover gaskets, transmission fluid, and differential fluid were replaced in 2019, and the battery was replaced in 2023.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. Work in 2019 is said to have included replacing the transmission pan gasket, driveshaft flex discs, and differential cover seal.
