12 of the most expensive Mercedes-Benz cars ever sold – You need to see #1 (With Pictures)

6. 1955 300SL – $4.6 Million

The 300 SL was originally a race car, just like a few other cars on this list. Production of that variant took place between 1952 and 1953, while the production models were made between 1953 and 1962. Only a couple of thousand were made, and there are obviously very few left. This masterpiece features gull-wings (on the coupe model, not the roadster, obviously) and was said to be the fastest car in the world when it was in production.
