Big Motoring World reviews Mercedes-Benz SL 550 Mille Miglia 417

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.
