Is the SL55 AMG a supercar?
Back in February 2002 we called the Mercedes SL55 AMG ‘a supercar in disguise’, and that’s exactly what it is. Underneath its subtly beefed-up bodywork sits an enlarged and supercharged version of the V8 from the SL500, but the character transformation is so great you’d be hard pushed to tell they’re related.
What’s the top speed of a Mercedes SL 55 AMG?
When the fifth-gen SL-Class (R230) was still around, the SL 55 AMG was electronically capped at 155 mph (250 kph) and Mercedes loosened up the limiter to enable a maximum velocity of 186 mph (300 kph) at an additional cost.

Since the SL55 AMG has been out for a decade now, much more aftermarket support and parts have been brought to the market.
