The SLS AMG is the AMG division’s first exclusive to AMG only car and it’s now here in Malaysia, priced at RM1,999,999 OTR without insurance! Of course, if you want a gold one you’ll have to pay more. In Europe, the car is sold at 149,000 Euros but you’ll actually have to pay an additional 19% VAT tax which brings the price up to 177,310 Euros. That’s about RM 892k. Add our Malaysian taxes and you’ll end up with way over double the amount, but I guess it’s all for a good cause.
For that 2 million buckaroos with a ringgit change you get a 6.2 litre V8 producing 571 PS at 6,800rpm and 792Nm of torque at 4,750rpm. The motor is a M156 massaged to be extra special installed in the SLS, rechristened the M159. It gets a new intake system, revised valves and cams, and a dry sump instead of a wet sump. On the inside, there’s plenty of real metal and dead cow, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia assures.
The car you see above is the first right hand drive SLS AMG in the world and it’ll be on display rotation at various locations and showrooms in Malaysia. Look after the jump for photos and a video from the preview this morning.

Why leave out just RM1 from the tag price? why don't they round it up to RM2 mill? at least people can boast saying my car is RM2mill as opposed to RM1mill plus :P
Wow.. lust on wheels…. for rich blokes.
Too expensive for middle income people like me..
not for us laa ..
Is there really a need for comments that state the obvious? Why waste comment space by whining instead of staying on topic?
Anyway, it's good to know that AMG recognises Malaysia as a worthy luxury market to parade the SLS. Hopefully they will post up the schedule for its rotation among dealers, if they haven't already.
same with me, for now.. but we dont know letter..
wow, just 2 millions only ,then you're on par on the riches already, sounds like a good deal.
I want to pengsan @@
that interior doesnt look like a 2mil car seriously….not special enough….and about the price , lets jus say…..hahahahahahahahahaha!
so cheap……tomorow ill buy it for my dad…..
rich man toy…
will ended up in a garage sitting and never been driven…
i doubt that, they'll probably be in sepang most of the time…
Maybe there is something wrong with my eyes, but the car is ugly
its too new for our eyes, maybe in half a year we will see it differently.
But it's still ugly… (front)
If this RM2mil creation is deemed ugly, we need a new superlative for cheaper craps (that include dugong, p1, p2)
yeah i agree. its damn ugly, especially from the side.
The Bentley Continental Flying Spur's a much more practical buy at 2 mil, but when you can afford to buy a car like that you don't necessarily think about practicality now do you?
how much is Lambo Murcielago?
around 2.7 mil, i think.
good car, may consider as collection but that is limited edition ? :):):)
who'll be the owner for 1st right drive..
can buy 800 kancils i guess
Can actually buy 75 units of Viva basic model.
Can buy 33 Persona Elegance High Line…
For reality check, it's like having rm11,100/month of pension if let say you live for 15 years after you retired…
Wow… RM2M. Here i am feeling a bit tight paying the monthly on my civic!
everything has price to be paid…
not bad … since they bring in SLS, will SLR supercar coming soon ?
SLR was in Malaysia for quite sometimes already… just go to NZ Wheels Klang and u'll find 1 unit black SLR McLaren sitting there lonely…only Left hand drive available..
Silver one sold to an Arab billionaire….
There's a SLR in JB. The new sultan's car.
yeah,SLR already here 4 quite sometime.it's abt 2 mill also,i guess.
how much wud the roadtax be for 6.2l? hmmmm
It would be RM16530 a year. That's roughly my one year salary!!!!
i wonder if Naza will bring it in.. should be cheaper i guess.. :)
it will only get cheaper if naza put its badge on the sls. Ha ha ha. Seriously. . between this and a SLR, I'll go for the SLR.
just another alternative to the ferrari.
You know what they say – fast car, small d*ck?
Why is it so?
Hey, don't call alonso and schumacher that..
I think that only applies for people who mod their cars or drive expensive cars yet drive at a slow pace (heaven forbid with a loud exhaust) to show off to everyone. The ones who drive fast are eager to get from point A to B ASAP.
I think it was made famous by an Australian ad that showed people to drive fast/recklessly have small dicks. Check it out: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=9d7_1184456943
pretty funny :D
can i have in pink color? i'll buy it then.
sure you can!
I wonder if 2 mil can buy a helicopter instead? of course diff thing here.
Or, a politician. Much cooler! Hahaha.
a Tan Sri title?
nope..heli is much more expensive
hahahaha, msian is crazy!!
stupid malaysian taxes
So you oppose govt taking money from the riches?
it depends. rich or poor. everyone worked their way to their riches. u can't just tax the rich because they are rich, that will be communism.
Interesting… Hope you'll be in govt someday to see the reality…
Talk is cheap man….
if i was in the government, that would be perfect. it's the best job in malaysia.
talk is cheap, yes. first of all, you guys always say that the rich discriminate the poor. the other way round is going on right here right now.
funny thing is, if you consider our current AP system, where is the money going to? if it's going straight to the government then i wont have much to bicker. but we all know how "clean" our AP system is, right?
I dont know how "clean" our AP system…enlighten me with some prove please…
You clearly cannot differentiate between AP and tax ;)
Is it the "rich" only who get taxed? You mean there's no tax on el cheapo B segment cars like Vios and Honda City and compacts like Jazz or Swift?? WOW that is news to me!
Also, yes I oppose government taking tax, because most of the time the money is wasted on stupid stuffs.
I think he's just opposing high taxes on cars in general…
2M – I'd buy myself a Carerra, and then a couple more Beemers to spare.
or an R8. Much sexier.
wat 2million only??chet!!i can buy dozens of them!!2 million rupiah,kan??haha~that means this baby is almost the price of a 458 Italia.I heard that Mutiara Motors will be selling 458 Italia for RM2.2mil.
not worth it.. i'd rather pay the amount for a konneigseig (don't know if i spelled it right)
probably the first full sports car with a proper interior
Hope Singapore will have one of this.
I thought Singaporean will be kiasu enough to actually buy this for each one of their citizen, just to make sure Malaysian won't be able to catch up. Hehehe.
and race it in their underground tunnel like speed racer… if the crooked bridge are to be allowed to build, it will destroy the race profile… u know, how those Singaporeans loooveee to invade others space….especially underground… u don no meh??!
for around Rm 2 mil, better i get the lamborghini gallardo. although it more smaller than this, its more sexy and more perfect . this too retro lah.
only 2 million ???? I'm handing my resignation letter to Anwar tomorrow to join AMNO
AMNO or UPCO…. (its UMNO la bro…:P)
2 million only?
i thought it will be more than that.
like the bit where author being sarcastic in this article :)
2 mill ringgit? Cheap. Our road will be infested by this soon haha and haha some more
Man, lil bit abv my budget, I rather stick with my SLK (small liltle kancil)..heheh
paul, can u inform when it will be coming to Penang? please
2million???!!!!….mengerikannnnnnnn
Aku brani bsumpah kreta ni buruk Giler!!!
can i have in Black color? i’ll buy it then.
paul, can you tell us the locations they are showing the car. i want to see it badly.
I will ask my dad if he want to buy for me or not..
im sure he will consider it..hahahah
You mean the Tamiya one? Hehehe.
Man, this direct reply is way fun. Kudos Paul.
both also can la..if he have more money..hahaha
Ugly… dashboard also ugly but i like the rear lamp
I would rather buy the Ferrari Italia if i had the money .. anyway lets wait for another 10 years maybe i can buy a second hand one ! haha
this model will be replacing the SLR..cause Merc sold off Mclaren as u guys know it..sound way better then the SLR..
The SLR was a much sexier car. It looks more like a badass Merc. This one looks too retro. Plus the centre console is…totally unattractive.
for that price is way cheap compare to SLR selling in M'sia..soon the car will be hitting showroom in K.L cant remember the date but should be next month…
I honestly wont buy it if i have 2mio to splash… last thing to fatten the fishes up there.
muke macam katak campor ngan cicak..
i think this is a collectible car… or toy :)
we will be seeing lots of this car in high class areas of kl soon……..
i like the "good cause" bit. paul i will have to commend you on your excellent skills of subtlety. keep up the great job!
i think is a mistake over there.
Its torque was not 792Nm , instead it is only 650Nm…
If i have plenty of money…
Ferrari 458 Italia will be the choice, not SLS ^^
i tot SLS is limited right? while ferrari 458 is a mass prod?
its not a limited edition i think. its more like a lower production volume means like they produce only a certain amount for one month.
ppl who cant afford wil say ugly lo …..
and ppl who can afford will not read these comments lorr..!!
no hard feeling man… its a nice car… just that the price is tooooo steeeeeep!!!
I wouldn't consider paying 2mil for a mercedes. this car makes a ferrari feel like a bargain not that i can afford it XD
…….i'll look up Motor Trader 2020 issue….see if anyone is selling….
blek not nice at the front and dashboard… i still prefer my mercedes E220 w124…
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG vs Proton Satria Neo, Which 1 better???
For 2M…can buy Neo like disposable cars..
vote for Neo CPS
moron
mahal siot…….
hahaha… rm2 million only ma… this car surely kill myvi and persona market… wo hooo….. yes it is retro…. this car is the rebirth of 300sl.. looking same… huhu..
first right hand sls with AMG summore in the world? fuh…they sure see malaysian with tonnes of money maybe..
nice retro btw…
i prefer perodua alza rather than this! lol!
I heard there are 60 bookings on this car, looks like our country got so many super super super rich people…
If you can easily buy a miliion car, then you must have more than 20 to 100 million $$$…
If we have camry or accord, there will be satisfy to most of us, I never dream of 2 million $$$$$$$ car …
w123 is enough for me… thats all..
Are you sure 60!?
OK… i'm cancelling mine! Not rare and exclusive enuff anymore! …. huhu…
Ferrari 458 Italia would be more expensive than the Merc SLS.
As per norm, Italian supecars are more expensive than German supercars..
if you have to ask the price, means you can't afford it.
yea, very very true ;)
better get california….
at least it's much more cheaper than some 300sl…
Wah!
babilh, yg mampu beli semua anak beranak tokey2 balak, org malaysia cuma mampu pakai keta proton jelh sampai tua, mimpi sampai matipon xkan dapat merasa

ya la apa apa way la
dun illegal enaf….kuda got lesen….amway oso got lesen…so wat say u? shoot la drugs…or kidnapped…
"Add our Malaysian taxes and you’ll end up with way over double the amount, but I guess it’s all for a good cause."
– Wah, Paul are you trying to be cynical? :D
this car is not worth RM2m… It's only worth RM900k real standard global price outside Malaysia. Tax makes it 2 mil here. But for collectors, 2 mil is no problem. At least 300 people in Malaysia can afford it.
even without Malaysian tax the car is about RM 892k. we still cannot afford what..
of course we can't afford the gullwing. But we sure can afford a new RM98k BMW 318 now, can't we? That was my point, really.
i still prefer the Blackbird or Devil Z
Who in the right mind will pay 1999999 buckaroos for this piece of crap!
Its damn ugly and its not worth it at all!
Rather get a nice Ferrari or Lambo with that kinda money!
I would rather get this car than ferraris or "lembu"ghinis….gull wing are extremely phenomenal
This car is more relevant for those who's getting their 2nd,3rd or 4th SuperCar, something different… 1st superCar ownership i agree the F and L are the best to go though.. same thing applies to wife, mistress and mistresses, gf and gfs…
i will vote for anybody that will abolish these stupid taxes
lol keep dreaming
I love how you emphasize the 'good cause' part.. anyways, this is a car everyone can own.. in their dreams
malaysia gov are useless and day light robbery kind , idiot gov only slow down malaysia !.
kudos to mercedes for coming out with a good piece of art.. many condemn it as a crap mainly it is extravagantly expensive.. that is what make it so exclusive man.. i did not deny that the hefty ridiculously imposed tax, however, this is the car to be appreciated.. if you are a car lover like me, hell yea this is a great car!!
i'll buy if govt change….
cannot afford this but surely can afford the 1/43 scale model by Autoart (if they ever come out with one) ;p

if i was in the government, that would be perfect. it’s the best job in malaysia.
talk is cheap, yes. first of all, you guys always say that the rich discriminate the poor. the other way round is going on right here right now.
other way around? damm…i bet u must be one of those rich kids spoil brat "manja-makan-dalam-tandas" kinda type. berapa maid u got? hehehe
hello guys. u people are mixing rich people with politicians ok? so i guess tony fernandes etc etc is a total ass too right? cause he is rich.
Tony Fernandes is the man, full respect to him.
OMG!
hi Paul,
I disagree with the way you work out the calculation as VAT shouldn't be added in because it is only applicable if you purchase the car in Germany.
Secondly, that is a selling price and not cost. So, the cost would be much lower than EU110000 (as the margin for this sort of car should be much higher).
IF this is so, let just assume it is about RM500,000 in cost (before duty and tax and margin). If tax is paid based on this car value…then you can calculate how much the profit is….. again….this sort of margin actually make sense for this sort of car…..because you get all the attention on the road….and of course you need to pay for that….it would not surprise me if MAlaysia is the biggest importer of this car in this region…..
In dreams fellas….aku pun sama.I’ll stick with my 08 civic.tamiya bole la beli..model.KKKKKAKAKAKAKAKKAKAKAKAKAKKAKAK
Seen one on otr in brunei… Very nice
compare to G55AMG 2011, this shit is ugly as hell
2m ahh? Helo 7m laa can buy 3pc sls Liao loo…. Those stupid here pls dun compare Satria Neo… Is a clown in toilet NO MAKE SENSE
Mercedes benz is the Best Car In The WORLD!!!!!!
Agree if U r Mercedes Benz Fan..
