Big Motoring World reviews the special edition Mercedes-Benz
SL. Mille Miglia was a road race in Italy between the 1920s and 1950s, and it
was in 1955 when American John Fitch and his co-driver Kurt Gessl drove the
300SL to which this car pays homage.
The pair came fifth in the race overall, an incredible
achievement in a production car, beating many race cars.
Design
Available in matt black, today’s SL is comes with black
wheels which measure 19 inches up front and 20 inches at the back. The black
design includes red accents throughout – it’s not discreet but well executed
throughout. The hardtop roof is, of course, retractable and that adds to its
powerful, racy look.
With the top up or down, the SL550 Mille Miglia 417 is fast.
It goes from 0-60 mph in just over four seconds, reaching a top speed of 155
mph.
Drive
Driver assistance is included which helps with braking and
steering. The steering precision and directional ability are on point, with a
comfortable ride guaranteed thanks to the luxurious interior.
Valued at around £30,000 less than its competitors, the SL63
AMG and AMG GT, it is a bargain and worth having for the unique driving
experience alone. Check out our Mercedes
showroom here.
