A YEAR EARLY!! Collecting my New SL 55 AMG 4Matic!

Collecting the UK’s First NEW #SL!! Huge Thanks to Ridge for sponsoring this video! Visit ridge.com/rbr and use code “RBR” for 10% off.
#MercedesAMG have done a miracle, and for the first time in my car history I’ve received a roadster in the summer! And what a summer it is, hottest day ever in the UK to film and collect a roadster: honestly not as easy as it sounds!!
This car may become my favourite #AMG on the fleet, having now driven it… it’s a beast of a V8 engine with the perfect balance of power and tech. I’m so excited to show it to you!
My car is unique, its an SL55 Premium Package car with an interior from the “Touring Package” plus carbon fibre trim - a spec that isn’t possible now in the UK! I’ll explain more about the UK Premium and Touring packages and the options available later in the video - but essentially, because I got an early car that I didn’t spec, this happy consequence of a unique spec came to pass!
Today we’re going to start in a convoy with the R129 SL 60 belonging to 40 collection on instagram, along side T1DSO from IG and his Brabus 500 GLE 53 - and finally myself in the GT Black Series off to collect it’s brother!
I’ll unveil the car in Northampton Mercedes Benz, go over the spec which includes AMG Night pack 2, truffle brown exclusive interior, driving assistance package and more before we set off for home to go deeper into the car. We’ll have a look inside the SL 60 as well - it even has a crazy old red Nokia phone!
Once home, I’ll show you the MBUX set up assistant which is a first for me - some big surprises in how Mercedes are now making your car identity more substantial, almost like an iCloud or Google account - very impressive stuff. I’ll also show you the UK/EU exhaust of the SL55, because HOLY HELL - it sounds insane!! Both the “emotion” start up and the revs are like a car from the past. Really hope you guys enjoy this, I’m loving it and can’t wait to do the first drive, full review and then put it up against the 911 Cabriolet!
As for financing the car, as mentioned in the video, do speak to Matt at Luxe Asset Finance: he got me the 992, SL and G63 all done recently and much cheaper than the dealers, so well worth a try! Tell him RBR sent you to access his VIP deals! Contact: [e-mail]
Up next on RBR is the New AMG EQE 53, C43 Estate, BMW M240i + MUCH MUCH More!! Subscribe to support us and see them first. :)

Love the spec! For me it’s very S63 Coupé in it’s final look, which works for the 55 IMO! 😈 Shall I add the AMG crest to the console? Let me know!! 👇

[@kaziadz]

Yes

[@jambear7862]

Yes

[@nikolaisquddos670]

I believe he is a property developer….so YT is an bonus

[@twfinc6855]

Looks great ! I will have to look at one when they finally arrive on dealer lots.. if ever... I wonder if I fit as well as I did in my 2018 SL63, Im 6'5" tall.. Not sure if this new SL has as much room or not.

[@andreasmadum]

Yes!

[@mikelewis2456]

Londoner living in Arizona.Just bought E53 AMG Coupe Starling Blue Mango exterior. Love AMG interiors with best technology. Again beautiful car congratulations on SL55

[@fuhrerhosty]

Gotta admit I wasn't a fan of the spec at first when you pulled off the cover but when I saw it outside with the roof down a bit later I totally changed my mind. The car looks terrific, enjoy your ride mate.

It does in real life 😉

[@Sebastian_Daniels]

Wow! Perfect Spec, I am glad you got an SL. I ABSOLUTELY love the AMG SL, it just succeeds in what it should do.

[@ohroonoko]

You went with the 55 and not the 63. I’m surprised and impressed! I really expected you to get the 63. The 55 is the right choice for this car. You want this car to lean more to comfort than to stiff high performance suspension. Congratulations!

[@chrismorris3726]

Raz. Love your content and choice of vehicles. Just keep on doing what you do. Unfortunately, jealously and envy are everywhere. Congrats on the SL!

What a car Raz! I love *all* SLs. This generation is definitely mind blowing. Congrats!

[@dandersonone921]

Very nice car! As an owner of an older model SL55 I still prefer the hard top. I do however love all of the new updated tech in the car and it’s sounds absolutely amazing. Congratulations!

[@MrAzHussain]

Congratulations on your new motor! beautiful car and well spec'd

[@RemoveBeforeRace]

Thank you sir

[@shahulhusman]

Gorgeous.. I ordered the identical spec for my dealer, (Obsidian, tartufo exclusive interior.. Carbon fiber, extended night and ccb) albeit a 63.. Stunning car, congrats!

[@youknowwhatitis6424]

That was one of the most comprehensive walk around during a car delivery I’ve ever seen on YT. Usually it’s people making faces and saying the same basic info 10x over.

[@archiegates7740]

Congratulations Raz, that is an incredible spec, I am green with envy mate. The brown and carbon interior is just incredible. Put the Affalterbach logo on!

[@TheMILVSCR]

I'm definitely a car enthusiast (watch many KZbin channels for reviews/entertainment), and it is truly uplifting to see some of you do well. While I may not possess the financial means to own beautifully crafted vehicles from amazing car makers I honestly love seeing you and some of the others do so well. Keep doing it, and much love from California

[@pyaraliabbas-ali4618]

I've waited for this reveal patiently and I must say I would not change a single thing on your decision 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 congratulations MR AMG😎😎

Great review Raz. you delivery style is engaging & comes across soo natural too...The start up sounds ☠️

[@KashHussain]

Bro. Great seeing you the other day. The car looked mint. Keep up the great work.

[@aadilpatel8403]

Add the crest. Beautiful spec. Can you do a video on maintenance of all your cars, how long you keep them for (factors that play into the decison), what you choose to drive on certain occasions and why, etc.

[@aadilpatel8403]

And also the economics involved

[@DolaiFlec]

Bro I love your content. You opened my eyes up to Porsche heritage and broke it all down for me. I say this in a respectful way, you are underrated. P.S: I was hoping that the ridge would've given you a larger discount code like they do for some others

[@Raziel_91]

Sick - can’t wait for the drive and review videos!

[@benjamindas0440]

This spec is a master piece..the sound 🥵🔥🤌

[@mochox]

Congrats Raz ! Stunning looker! Initially i thought the colour combo was odd but now i appreciate it..really classy! MashaAllah.

[@eastbaystreet1242]

You are just brilliant - the way you told the warm story about keeping plastics on things. And your feelings about these cars come through the computer screen like no other reviewer that I can think of. Thanks for this. Enjoy. And your car is distracting me from my love of my current S63 AMG Cabrio. I will let you sort out this new model on our behalf and maybe in a couple of years... add one to the stable. Brilliant car.

[@terrydixon6644]

Congrats on your SL!!!!

[@l2etranger]

What a nice specced car, and a smart SL history overview. Removing the plastic would have the unboxing even more à propos. I’d put the sticker on the back of a MacBook screen as a logo. Really cool video, thank you.

[@karelesterhuizen7117]

Congrats mate, love this example of a car in a coupe, super hot

[@idrischemali5991]

The Badge on the center console is the way to go. MaschaAllah congrats raz great car.

Congratulations Mr AMG, i freakin love this ...

[@craigorford9932]

Wow congratulations great looking and sounding car,the info pad is really cool

[@mysticmind3377]

May I ask how you can afford all these cars? I am not jealous, I am just curious, as you only have 332k subscribers and the cars that you keep collecting are very very expensive. Congrats from a M4 Competition Driver from Germany!

[@merkerface]

I think he has another business or something. Not all his income is generated from KZbin if I’m not mistaken, can’t be sure though. I agree it doesn’t seem KZbin income would be enough 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@bossssss]

It’s a valid question but I think dad has lots lots lots of money. ( however that was a stupid comment on my behalf, I feel like a fool)

Raz works really hard for his money and we can be happy, that he lets us take part

Man it looks so good. I swear the new SL is the best looking car from Mercedes

[@RemoveBeforeRace]

It is!

[@StrangerHappened]

@@RemoveBeforeRace GT Black Series might compete. It is angrier, but the SL is more elegant with super long headlights and backlights. BTW, do you plan to tune the car to 800 HP or something?

[@lawrencefearon6830]

This must be your first SL, I'm certain. Massaging seats have been an SL standard this entire century. I wish you drove a R230 or R231 to compare the roof refinement against. Black on brown is definitely the spec the R232 want's to be.

[@minnaren]

First of all, big congratiolations to your new SL 55. Looks awesome. I work at a AMG performance center in Sweden and from just using the new SL 63 for a couple of days in normal heat - I noticed that I really burnt my finger off every time I tried to pull up / down the roof while driving in the sun or when I came out to the car after a cup of coffee... The keyfob really doesnt work all the time so after living with the car for a while - would you not appreciate a fysical button to open / close the roof? I really cant understand why they removed it. Also I expereienced a lots of squeeky sounds from the dashbord etc like the car was not properly put together, but this is something they should be able to sort out tho.. How about yours? Any baby sicknesses? Do you think the power of the 55 is more than enough? Hope you will enjoy your new SL and that it will stay in your collection for a while. Love the combination. Very subtile.

[@aneebaba06]

Congrats/mubarak ho bruv! Sexy car, sporty exterior and classy interior! Love the interior spec! - those seats are beautiful! Gotta say, this is probably my fav of your recent cars of the last several years! Though I'm a BMW man, love that tech and MBUX set-up stuff. I love the 2+2 set-up and very cool that it's back. Yes the crest looks great there! DO IT! :D While we are on the SL-love-fest - my auntie/uncle finally decided to sell their 1976 SL 450 (maroon-red)...they once sold it prematurely, but got it back but now it's for good. Great memories sitting in the back as a little kid (yes barely any foot room but we were small), but I got to drive it once, and oh man, gorgeous machine. Looking forward to the full living-with review!

[@yasinaboobaker3377]

BEAUTIFUL!! If it were my car I would drop it a hair and flush the wheels out a bit as the only thing I'm not a fan of is how sunken in they are to the fenders, especially the front. If they were more flush it would make it look even more aggressive. Regardless, its beautiful so congrats!
