Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 45th Anniversary Edition

Unlike most of its AMG stablemates that provide drivers with blistering performance whilst still enveloping them in a stately interior, this limited edition SLS AMG GT3 is race-car through and through. Complete with a creature comfort devoid interior, magno graphite matte paint job, steel roll-over cage, as well as six-point seat belts, this vehicle is angrily rocketed forward by 6.3 liter V8 engine.

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.
