The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Roadster represents an exceptional blend of luxury, performance and sophisticated open-air motoring. Finished in elegant Alabaster White over a Stone Nappa leather interior and showing just 35,000 actual miles, this beautifully appointed SL550 offers the refinement of a luxury coupe with the excitement of a true two-seat roadster. Under the hood is Mercedes-Benz’s impressive 5.5-liter 32-valve aluminum V8 producing 382 horsepower, paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission with Touch Shift. The combination delivers smooth, authoritative acceleration and effortless highway cruising, making the SL550 equally at home on a winding country road or a long-distance grand touring excursion. One of the SL550’s defining features is its ingenious retractable power hardtop. At the touch of a button, the sophisticated coupe transforms into an elegant open-air roadster, providing owners with the versatility of two distinctly different cars in one. This example is particularly well equipped with the desirable Premium 1 Package, adding active ventilated multicontour seats, an electronic trunk closer, KEYLESS-GO and Mercedes-Benz AIRSCARF neck-level heating system. AIRSCARF directs warm air around the occupants’ neck and shoulder areas, helping extend comfortable top-down driving into cooler weather. The luxurious cabin features the 318 Full Leather Seating Package with premium Stone Nappa leather upholstery, complemented by a wood and leather steering wheel and shift knob. Power heated and ventilated multicontour seats with memory, dual-zone automatic climate control, a power adjustable steering column with easy-exit functionality, and power windows and locks further enhance the driving experience. Technology and entertainment are equally impressive, with the COMAND Navigation System featuring a 40GB hard drive, a premium 10-speaker Harman/Kardon LOGIC7 surround-sound system, six-disc DVD/CD changer, Bluetooth hands-free calling, voice control and an iPod/MP3 media interface. With its 382-horsepower V8, low 35,000-mile odometer reading, Alabaster White and Stone Nappa leather color combination, retractable hardtop and impressive selection of luxury options, this 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL550 is a compelling example of one of Mercedes-Benz’s most celebrated modern grand-touring roadsters.
