CRAZY VALUES! The SLS AMG Black Series is Now a $1m Car and THIS is Why

[@Shmee150]

If you like watches, check out my Shwatch150 channel! kzbin.info We're taking a look at my Swatch collection, showcasing some of the highlights that you've seen on my wrist over the years, and plenty more in the future.

What If you bought DDE's CGT👀

[@alireza_adventure]

[@tomcockerill6601]

You should hang all your giant swatches in your new office and have each one set to a different location ie Dubai, California, The Nurburgring and any other countries you vist regularly. It would look cool

[@CHAuto333]

Are you going to Geneva?

[@CHAuto333]

Also, it must have been a lovely drive through Alsace past Colmar and through Basel. Also, Biel is a lovely destination.

[@entertainmentmachNO1]

After seeing a base SLS amg, I don’t think you should sell this. I’ve seen both the amg gts and the sls amg. They are so different. The SLS will remain unmatched. It’s road presence is unquantifiable. This isn’t about money anymore. This car is truly as special as they say it is.

[@NorthAyase]

I don't think he plans to ever sell it.

[@chinqlinq89]

Agreed. Timeless design and it’s only going to appreciate more in the years to come as NA engines become obsolete.

[@HiddenWen]

Saw a matte black SLS black and a silver SLS black. You're right, on the road they have such a presence. Not in your face, but very wide and very good looking.

[@shanesingh4293]

@@craigmorgan4676 he always says that he dont have any intentions of the sls leaving his collection because its one of his dream car

[@fartloudYT]

I think the value will rise even more.

[@acapulco9631]

Hey shmee, a viewer from switzerland here, wanted to let you know that on our autobahn we actually do have tolerance. A tolerance deduction of 5 to 7 km/h is made for radar measurements, 3 to 5 km/h for laser measurements and 7 to 9 km/h for mobile measurements, depending on the speed driven.

[@acapulco9631]

So driving with 125km/h even 126km/h should be fine with the inaccurate speed on the speedo

[@rustler08]

That's what "basically no tolerance" means. It is not to be taken literally.

[@jamie123b]

In England we generally get 10% plus 2 before you will receive a ticket. So 79mph in a 70 etc

[@johnssmith4005]

This car will forever be the AMG Black Series symbol , the GT will never be this special

[@kareem-mokdad-swiss]

Hi Tim, thank you for visiting my hometown, I didn't even know that Swatch had such a drive through. Yes, speeding can be freaking expensive in Switzerland, but it still isn't forbidden to make noise in the tunnels, as long as you stay in the speed limits or 5 km/h above. Cheeeeeeers !

[@khalidalali186]

I drove one for a whole week in 2014. What a beautiful car. I then drove a Ferrari California T for the week after, and the SLS was just far more superior, in every single way.

[@carlos64030]

That INCREDIBLE exhaust rumble and the way it sounds when going through the gears is the #1 reason why your SLS AMG Black Series is my favorite car in your whole entire fleet! 😍❤😍❤😍❤😍

[@kk-yc2qz]

Tim you are a motivator for me… whenever I feel there’s nothing in my life, I always watches your video…. ❤️❤️❤️

[@derickbrits208]

I live for the Shmee150 uploads. Tim keeps its fun and fresh with each new adventure. Thank you Tim for sharing your car journeys with us. Can't wait for the Zenvo to arrive and the road journeys in that beast!

[@dsr874]

Years ago manufacturers only made 300-500 units of something (or less) as a limited number, because that's what the likely projected sales would be for a car at such a price point at that time. Fast forward to now and the much greater amount of people who have the ability to purchase such vehicles because of 'new money' and alongside that, the culture having grown (because of social media and OG's like Tim), means that the manufacturers are simply making a business decision rather than an emotional decision lead by the idea of having a super limited product. For yourself Tim. Even if the business decision doesn't quite work for purchase price v content. An LFA needs to join the garage on just emotion alone. Hopefully one day that happens. Love the work as always and looking forward to car week!

[@sabersz]

But, would it be worth selling the SLS BS to obtain an LFA? I'm not so sure. But this is Tim we're talking about. He'll be able to obtain the LFA anyway lol

[@dsr874]

@@sabersz agree 100% he should have both in the garage simultaneously. Perhaps even eventually a trifecta of V8, V10 & V12 by introducing an F12 TDf 🤷‍♂️

[@TamagoHead]

From an engineering standpoint, the LFA is interesting due to Toyota’s collaboration with Yamaha, and applicator carbon fiber & custom weaving looms. The LFA seems to be a track-capable livable car, but so is the new Corvette Z06/Z07 package.

[@michaelgakanga]

@@TamagoHead you do realize that's a decade's worth of difference right? It's like comparing a Huracan to an Enzo

[@TamagoHead]

@@michaelgakanga yup, but the LFA was was only groundbreaking in that a conservative company collaborated with Yamaha and lost money on every car sold. It’s interesting what GR and TRD does, but in terms of the exotic car market, it might be collectible but not awesome in terms of performance.

[@petetofani4896]

The SLS Black Series is one of my favorite cars. I'm glad to hear it is a permanent car in your collection.

[@Drew_Hawk]

You enjoy the little things in life. Even though you have an amazing car collection. You really appreciate life for what it is and the love you have for this specific car. This is why I love your channel your a genuine person. Can't wait for your next video sir!

[@nicktaylor5273]

I was on the lookout for a 996 Porsche but so tempted to a v8 clk 55 amg just for the sound, when I see videos like this

[@michaelgakanga]

so when you bought the sls I had a prediction that this car, the LFA and the TDF would have a value of over 1million dollars very soon. I consider those 3 to be the pinnacle of front mid engined rear wheel drive motorsports derived vehicles. now the TDF is the only one left that people aren't talking about but that one might as well be on its way to 2million by 2025

[@jermaine5073]
