The Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed speedster—an ultra‑light, open‑top version of the brand’s high‑performance line—has officially appeared on the secondary market. Only 250 examples were built worldwide, and a German dealership has put one up for sale at €999,000 (about $1.15 million).
Design & Aerodynamics
Inspired by the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix debut and the classic 2‑Liter Rennwagen race car, the PureSpeed keeps the sleek AMG silhouette while shedding weight. The front bodywork fades from a vivid Zircon Red to a sophisticated Graphite Grey, highlighted by AMG’s signature speed‑line graphics.
Key aerodynamic features include:
- 21‑inch five‑spoke wheels wrapped in carbon‑fiber spokes for enhanced brake cooling.
- Removal of the windshield and A‑pillar for an unobstructed cockpit.
- F1‑style HALO protective ring, standard on all AMG racing‑derived models since 2018.
- Rear‑mounted rollover bar with a black‑and‑white AMG badge.
- Electronically controlled air‑deflector, replacing the larger AMG Aerodynamics package found on the SL‑Class.
Powertrain & Performance
Under the hood sits a 4.0‑liter V8 biturbo engine delivering 585 hp and 800 Nm of torque. Power is sent through a nine‑speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission to the intelligent all‑wheel‑drive system, AMG Performance 4MATIC+.
Performance figures are impressive:
- 0–100 km/h (0‑62 mph) in just 3.6 seconds.
- Top speed limited to 315 km/h (196 mph).
Interior & Comfort
The cabin stays true to the SL‑Class layout, with a striking contrast of Crystal White and deep black. Standard equipment includes an AMG Performance steering wheel, carbon‑fiber‑trimmed sport seats with heated shoulders and neck, and a digital instrument cluster.
Limited‑Edition Extras
Every PureSpeed comes with a pair of Bell helmets, colour‑matched to the car’s exterior. These helmets are custom‑fitted to the original owner’s measurements, adding a personal collector’s touch.
Pricing & Availability
Base price: €999,000 (≈$1.15 million). For buyers planning to export the vehicle, the price drops to €839,500 (≈$969,000) after applicable taxes and fees.
With only 250 units produced, the PureSpeed is a true rarity. Interested collectors should contact the German dealer promptly, as demand is expected to outstrip supply.
Conclusion
The Mercedes‑AMG PureSpeed blends racing heritage with road‑legal thrills, offering a glimpse of what high‑performance engineering looks like when weight is stripped away. Priced at just over a million dollars, it stands as one of the most exclusive speedsters on the market today.
