It took seven years to develop the 6th generation 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Roadster and at Fields Motorcars in Lakeland, we are no less than thrilled with the results, proving that patience pays big dividends. This vehicle is certain to stop everyone in their tracks the minute they lay eyes on this beauty.
Taking its styling cues from the iconic original Roadster, this time around the SL550 marries both historical features with modern style for the perfect look. On the exterior, chrome-trimmed vents on the body, as well as aggressive-looking LED daytime headlamps give this Roadster an updated look. The star on the prominent grille keeps the classic SL styling front and center; a 90% aluminum body makes the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL550 sleeker and lighter than ever before.
The ultimate signature of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Roadster is its retractable hardtop (retracts in only 16 seconds!) make this a stunning and classic open Roadster, or a sleek coupe when the top is on. In and around Orlando, Mercedes-Benz drivers that want a break from the hot and humid Florida temps can put the top up and enjoy the Panorama roof which will let you take in the views even when it rains or when you simply don't want to have the wind blowing through your hair. How is that for versatility?
Under the hood, the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Roadster is impressive as well with a 4.6-liter direct-injected, turbocharged V-8 engine has 12 % more power than the maker's previous V-8 engine. It can go from 0-60 mph in the blink of an eye; an estimated 4.5 seconds and gets fantastic fuel economy thanks to the new fuel-saving system, ECO-Stop/Start system that allows the Roadster to get 16 mpg city and 24 mpg highway miles.
