The car has been built to celebrate the anniversary of the launch of the first SL model. Buyers get to open the famous gullwing door for the not-so bargain basement price of more than R5 000 000. Besides supercar performance, the super exclusive price of this car means that you will not see it in many other driveways, especially as there are only five of them out there.
