Throttle House gave the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG a positive review (62/100), praising it as a perfect modern reimagining of the 300 SL with its long hood, swooping lines, and gull wings that earn a design score of 89/100, while the 6.2L naturally aspirated V8's violent 563-horsepower delivery and 3.6-second 0-60 time deliver compelling performance (75/100). The gull-wing doors are notoriously difficult to operate and require significant effort to reach, the transmission's downshifts aren't particularly quick even in manual mode, and the cabin suffers from an excessive number of buttons including blank ones, pushing cabin tech to just 33/100. Used examples command over $300,000 Canadian with under 10,000 miles, though Throttle House suggests the convertible version offers better value despite losing the iconic gull wings. This car is for collectors and enthusiasts willing to overlook ergonomic quirks and premium pricing for a legendary driving experience with genuine character and timeless aesthetics.
