The second generation of the R230 SL500, marketed as the Phase II, was introduced in 2006 and naturally the SL55AMG benefited from the same changes. The revisions for the 2006 SL55 AMG included a new grille, inspired by the SL65 AMG and the front bumper was redesigned and looked more aggressive than before.
Inside, there was a new steering wheel and new options available, including heated and ventilated seats, adaptive cruise control and a push-button start on top of the gearbox stick.
Most of the major changes were technical, the front disc-brakes were carried-over from the SL65 AMG and were bigger with 6-pot calipers instead of the older 8-pot units, the engine was re-tuned with a new compressor now generating 510bhp (up from 493) and the gearbox reverted to the old and reliable 5G-Tronic box allowing for the increase in torque.
The AMG F1 Performance pack was available on the Phase II car, at around $15,000, and this included an AMG Alcantara-trimmed sports steering wheel, Active Suspension with 20% stiffer Nürburgring settings, larger brakes cooled by vents in the SL65 front bumper, 19″ two-piece double spoke alloys, AMG locking differential, the speed limiter was recalibrated to 186mph (300Km/h) although the power output remained at 510bhp.
This superb example is presented in Iridium Silver with a Charcoal leather interior and is fitted with electric memory seats, air conditioning with climate control and a wind deflector. It has a full service history:
