Seeing a perfectly good vehicle being crushed for whatever reason is a sad thing for any car enthusiast. It’s all the more disappointing if the car in question is a thoroughbred sports car like the Mercedes SLS AMG.
Why on Earth this car has been sent to the junkyard we don’t know, but we sure would love to hear from you if you have any information.
We suppose this happened in the United States, as the SLS AMG has the US-specific yellow lateral lights and an American truck can be seen in the background at one point. The fact that the SLS AMG is a US-spec model makes it hard to believe we’re dealing with an illegal import.
Obviously, we’re not sure that’s the case. Another possibility could be that the SLS AMG was already damaged due to an accident and was written off by the insurance company.
The video begins with the car already damaged, but we don’t know whether it had accident damage or earlier scars inflicted by the crusher. Either way, that’s not how a Mercedes AMG SLS should go…
