Mercedes SL 417 Mille Miglia is As Stylish As They Come in Geneva

Celebration never ends for Mercedes-Benz. 60 years ago, one SL model won the Mille Miglia and that’s a good reason to party, right? Of course, this is why we stumbled upon the Mercedes-Benz SL 417 Mille Miglia Special Edition at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.

We said it before: Mercedes-Benz are really good with legacies and records. Plus, when their marketing and design departments meet, you can expect pretty exquisite special editions. When Mille Miglia is thrown in the equation, the demand for exclusivity is even higher.

As you will see in the photo gallery, Mercedes opted for a red & black themed exterior and for that they fitted the package with red front spoilers, trim strips and brake calipers. The 19-inches black wheels also look spot-on with that red surround and guess what: there’s more red and black in the cabin.

Seats are provided by the AMG Line and they come in black with red edgings in order to keep up with the exterior’s chromatic combination. There’s also a touch of carbon fiber here and there, along with the ‘SL Mille Miglia’ badge.

Nappa leather was the choice for the steering wheel and the same black & red theme is also present here. Remember, this is Mercedes-Benz’s work of art so we must discuss prices.

Ready? As we figured out that you’re not expecting a bargain on the Mille Miglia Pack, here’s how much Mercedes is asking for it. By the way, it will only be available on the SL 400 and SL 500 versions.

So, if you want the pack on an SL 400, please add another 14,800 euro to the bill. In case you want the same treatment on an SL 500, get ready to say goodbye to 12,800 euro. Boy, motorsport history sure is expensive!
