Text Source: Zer Customs

A few months ago the British press announced that the Mercedes SLS AMG price will be around the 180,000 Euros mark. Today, Daimler has announced the official figures and setting the Mercedes SLS AMG price at 177,310 Euros, including VAT. The company will start accepting orders for the new Gullwing from November 16th. They also released the list of options for the Mercedes SLS AMG which includes various styling accents. For better performance, the car can be fitted with a ceramic composite high-performance braking system, but this will cost you an extra 11,305 Euros. If you want your Mercedes SLS AMG to have a carbon-fiber engine compartment cover you’ll have to pay 4760 Euros, while the sport bucket seats will set you back just 3927 Euros.

As a reminder, the Mercedes SLS AMG hides under its hood the 6.3-liter AMG engine developing 420 kW/571 hp and 650 Nm of torque.
