The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster is a special high-performance supercar -- but it's the "forgotten" supercar of the Mercedes-Benz world. Today I'm reviewing the SLS and I'm going to show you all the quirks and features of the SLS Roadster. Then I'm going to get it out on the road and drive the SLS Roadster.

Awesome car, even after a few years
i dont like the roadster version of this car but its still my dream car
Design not distinctive to other supercars? If you see one in nature, you will turn your head like an owl. Without feeling bad like looking behind a drug dealer. This one is a class on its own.
"Cars won't sound like this going forward." It won't be long before we eliminate the joy in everything, and everyone will complain about depression and anxiety. Actually, that's already happening.
Doug the type of guy to call his first child a «entry-level»
I'm already feeling old whenever he says "from this era" as it was just a few years ago!
An old man i know had one of these cars, he sold it for 20k before it got rare thinking it had no value. And well yeah....
8:25 They also gave these same parking sensors to Chrysler when they were still together, my 06 Chrysler 300C has them as well, although, only in back, but it's the exact same module and system.
Do a 🦎 review !!!
I don't know who could look at an SLS and say it doesn't look like a supercar or special enough. Its gorgeous.
Every cars and bids ad reminds me of Tmartn and his CSGO lotto days 😂😂
Should be a V10
Doug you forgot to mention the built in oil gauge pressure.
It’s a Chrysler.....
13:09 pocket for storing the wind deflector?
Did you heard something about black edition?) What refers to the glove compartment handle
I have the similar steering wheel in my Mercedes.....Sprinter....😂
This is one of the only cars that looks better with a roof .
No Doug. The black button for the glove coompartment isn't weird. All levers/buttons on the tan areas are black or contrastic colors in the car :P
How does the sound of this V8 compare to, say, a modern Mustang V8?
Can you review more classic cars doug? like pre 1970
I can't believe Mercedes discontinued this wonderful motor and announced that the new C63 "AMG" will only come with a soyboy 4-cylinder shitbox.
Work of art
Idk about this coupe situation. This one looks better in my opinion, a little cheaper, i don't give a f about the doors, the rear windows looks weird on the coupe. If i had to buy one, it would be this one for sure
If they are going to accommodate smokers to the point that they have an area where you hold your lit smoke why not have a gentle smoke suction feature to expell the smoke? Black glovebox latch so it stays clean looking and so old people can find it. What ever happened to M.B. being the conservative company? The one that didn't cater to the bling and flash styling fads that become dated. Huh Doug?
The SLS is one of my dream cars. I honestly like it better than the Mercedes GTR.
The SLS is one of my favorite cars
It's insane how much mercedes interiors have evolved in 10 years. A base A class basically has interior as good or better than this car.
Is nice
In saab 9-3 you have 2 liters but on trunk you have 1.8t badge So nothing new in cars history to have different badge
Typical Benz- way over priced only to have plastic on the infotainment panel.😂 Still love this Benz (and this is the only one I love lol)
Doug DeMuro: "I actually think this looks better than the regular SLS." Also Doug DeMuro: "SLS Roadster gets a 7 for styling, regular SLS gets an 8."
God this car is beautiful.
How can the sls have better handling than this? They are practically the same car
Roof
Heater to blow on your neck so you can keep your hood down in the cold weather Translate: allows you to be a complete douchebag in all elements
👍
I love the sound. And yes.... every engine produces its own music...
In Europe SLS was considered too flashy, too much showing off, you can see Clarksons review and what I'm talking about. We know our cars and Mercedes especially, so no one here would mistake it for other Mercedes, at least no one interested in cars. But that kind of people buys supercars. For me, it is one of the most beautiful modern cars and true Merc.
If you want to join more sound experience of the GT Roadster: ithomes.info/net/vcehmLGPm6KFfII/video (some Hotlaps at Hockenheimring coming soon....)
fun fact; amg stands for "aufecht, melcher, and großaspach." they are the names of three of the most significant engineers in mercedes' history.
The keyfob has a battery, therefore car can start with key in the pocket. When battery dies in the keyfob, car could be started with the transponder key inserted into keyhole. Keyfob also has regular mechanical key hidden in it.
The 'gullwing doors' make it look very special.
The SLS is probably one of the most gorgeous cars ever made. It looks so damn good.
The SlS is one of the best looking Mercedes cars
Doug has the perfect videos to eat to
just now i saw it's ad for driving upside down in a tunnel!
NO ONE, and I mean no one, distorts their mic during the driving part like DADDY DOUG
I can feel the engine just by hearing the sounds.
fun fact, the convertible cost roughly the same as the coupé in sweden where i live. right now is the cheapest sls a coupé closely followed by a convertible which is just a tad cheaper than another coupé and yes, you are right. top down gives you more sound, but the sound is plenty enough in the coupé with the added benifit that it is nicer on longer drives. and for the people who wonder, i'm no fan of a convertible, it is because they weigh more, are less stiff, have more wind noise when the top is up and I personally think they don't look as good with the top down as a coupé does. but that is just me so if you love your convertible is that awesome! all that matters is that you love your own car
I like it when Doug describes cars and bids as an "online" "website"
ufff very nice car Doug end big ciao fratello bye bye
The key for this car is ridiculous! My 2010 C250 comes with the same key 🙄
You buy a Sprinter Van! You get that key 😂
$NOK to the moon 💎🙌🚀🚀🚀🌝
Doug the type of guy to moan repeatedly while driving
ithomes.info/net/udaj2byMnaqWYX4/video
10:01 Tesla Model X in the background Edit:At least the model X has doors that open upwards 😂😂
The moment when Doug said, "Cars going forward aren't going to sound this good" it just hit deep.
Shift light comes standard on $25k civic Si 😎
nice
I always thought the steering wheel looked really out of place on this car - like they took it from a B Class or something
True. mine from my A Class looks sportier. But thats from 2016 to be fair.
lllllong front end
I live near Stuttgart and there is such an SLS AMG nearby. It's parked outside all year, because its garage is used as a storage full of useless stuff #justgermanthings 🇩🇪
Just look like an expensive cross fire to me just my opinion. Remember Chrysler n Mercedes was once partners....dont hate the truth.
One of the only cars that might be better as a convertible
Would probably have painted this one in some dark color (black?) while leaving some line\s all across the center or something in the original red
E
Yo who says its is forgotten The mercedes benz sls amg is the living legend
"A Mercedes that steers" Bertha Benz is frowning upon you, Doug.
Oh god nowi have to put up with cars and bids adds as well. Bad move doug.
Glorified viper.
While the gullwing doors are pretty cool, if you lived in California the convertible would probably be the best choice.
HOLY SHIT IT HAS RX-8 SUNVISORS
Never seen this car before!
My friend just purchased this vehicle and I'm so excited to sit in a vehicle Doug has reviewed lol.
Those N/A Downshifts will grow you a beard. You see that part where doug grabbed his face on those down shifts? He could feel a viking sized beard coming in.
Man I really miss old cars. All these new cars with their crap screens and turbo crap engines
That visor with holes is rather bizarre
Petition to make a Cars & Bids museum
This is one of the best engines of all times. No turbo non-sense. There was just one reason these kind of naturally aspirated engines with high rpm capability were not build anymore: Fuel consumption and emission ratings (more non-sense).
When Clarkson reviewed the coupe version of this car he said the convertible would be better bc the doors were an inconvenience.
thisssssss
Mercedes decided to make such huge hood just to put the engine inside the wheelbase for better handling on track
Definitely I’m a fan
So the “Bluetooth telephony” was not limited to the Metris.
What do you mean by "Forgotten"??? It's still one of the most legendary Mercedes and lots of people loved it
doug demero giving Doug scores is like an English teacher. They talk about how good it is and at the end they shit on u
Yes, that annoys me. He also compares 80’s cars acceleration to today so if it doesn’t go 0-60 in 2.9 seconds it gets a bad score. I think he gave the Mk 4 Supra twin turbo like a 4 or 5 out of 10
@Doug DeMuro 13:30, The “looong front end” isn’t just for looks; it’s so they could put the engine behind the front axle, thus making it a mid-engine car. And the engine is not near the middle for “weight distribution” (although it would make that a little easier); it is there because it gives the car a lower polar moment of inertia-a physics thing that means things turn easier when the weight is closer to the middle.
cite (ithomes.info/net/1atspZGcbYGgjZg/video): "...before my current format." - well, the time before "your current format" sported some cool pastimes (offroading, overlanding the Aston Martin, dumping the PT Cruiser, ...), which caused me to subscribe. I miss those aspects, although I suppose (and would fully understand), that you are putting your coins on maximum viewer reach with regular standardized reviews instead of those great episodes. I'd rather see another offroading or Humvee episode, than the absolutely most-expensive Bugatti (which I also like!). It just seems that "my current format" is narrowed down to very streamlined car reviews. Maybe there is an option on your second channel?
Infotaino?
This car is basically German Dodge Viper))
Doug, the holes in the sun visors are so that you can see the light when you come to a stop. So you don’t have to keep ducking down to see when it turns green
Very cool car too bad it's driven so little as to increase the likelihood of high maintenance. If it finds an actual driver vs museum curator haha.
This SLS' s value just increased for 250k after Doug's review...
The market seems to prefer the doors. No shit? It fucking GULLWING DOOOOOOORS!!!!
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Roadster
In their defense it’s a 6.2 1/2
The most beautiful of any Mercedes in the last forty years.
please do a e36 m3 one day!!!
Buy a car to let it sit. 🤣🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️
change the name to carbid
