This is basically the same car as the European SL500, powered by the same 4.7-liter twin-turbo V8. Soon after that, the more powerful SL63 AMG will be launched, and maybe even the rumored SL65 AMG, which is expected to feature a V12.

Getting back to the SL550, this is going to be available from $106,375 including destination. For this you get a brand new car, with a chassis and body built mainly from aluminum to save weight, and powered by the 4.7-liter twin-turbo V8, rated at 429 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.

The car also comes with Mercedes’ Comand infotainment system, an automated roof plus the Attention Assist and Adaptive Brake safety systems.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
