The W157 SLS AMG GT represented the refined final chapter of Mercedes-Benz's iconic gullwing supercar legacy.
Development focused on evolutionary refinement rather than revolutionary change, with enhanced engine tuning and chassis optimization derived from AMG GT performance research.
The W157 launched in 2012 as an immediate successor to the C197, introducing the more powerful M159 V8 and updated styling cues.
Production concluded in 2014 after just 15,000 units, marking the end of the SLS AMG line as Mercedes shifted focus to the new AMG GT sports car platform.
