Is the only one in the world – now Mercedes must find a new owner

There is probably only one of them. In other words, the Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series, which comes in exactly this color from the factory.

We know Tim Burton aka Shemee150 has one. But we also know that we are talking about a repaint.

The only Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series in Designo Mystic Blue. So out of 350 cars. Add to the story that the car in its time – it was in 2013 – was ordered according to 'European specifications'.

This means that the steering wheel is on the left in the cabin and that the speedometer shows kilometers per hour and kilometers on the trip counter. However, the car is not on our latitude.

This is stated by the auction house RM Sotheby's. If the large 6.2-litre V8 engine is to be 'home', it must be picked up in Dubai. Here, however, it has not been allowed to move for the past several years.

At least not very much. The car, whose first owner received it at home in Germany, has just a short 362 kilometers. That is less than 33 kilometers per year.

RM Sotheby's itself estimates that the car today should cost somewhere between 700,000 and 750,000 dollars. It is a price of 5.3 million kroner (without tax, ed.), if the waves are at their highest.

In comparison, the SLSs went for DKK 2 million when they were new. Everything from DKK 2 million. Additional equipment is a completely different matter. The two million kroner would otherwise correspond to a new price of kroner 2,430,000 today.

Having said that, the Mystic Blue car probably won't be the world's most expensive SLS. According to the German Bild, another of the 350 cars has been sold with just 107 kilometers on the odometer. It reportedly went for a staggering 1.99 million euros. This corresponds to just under 15 million Danish kroner.
