2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS-Class: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The big change for 2015 is the SLS AMG GT Final Edition, a 350-car worldwide farewell model that serves as the only SLS-Class trim for the year. It adds distinctive carbon-fiber body pieces and a special numbered interior, while retaining the prior AMG GT’s 583-hp V8.
About the 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS-Class
Single-generation SLS-Class (C197/R197), final model year and Final Edition send-off.
Mercedes-Benz positions the SLS as an exceptional super sports car that combines dramatic design, a hand-built AMG V8, and everyday road manners that are usable beyond a racetrack. In the market, the SLS stands out less for touchscreen tech or efficiency and more for theater: the long-hood shape, front-mid-engine layout, rear-drive character, and one of AMG’s most memorable naturally aspirated engines. It is a high-drama grand-touring supercar with strong collector appeal, especially in Final Edition form.
Mercedes-AMG positioned the 2015 SLS as the final chapter for its first fully developed sports car, offered in gullwing coupe and open-top roadster forms. Every Final Edition pairs a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic with an exposed carbon-fiber hood, adaptive sport suspension, diamond-stitched leather, and a numbered console badge.
