This also makes the SLS AMG Final Edition a very special model whose value will only increase over time. Production of the last SLS AMG will be limited to only 350 units and will end by 2015. The Final Edition will then join its other versions from the last four years - the convertible, the GT, the Electric Drive, the Black Series, the GT3 and GT3 45th Anniversary SLS AMGs in the history books.
