What does the "R" mean? I am looking at an SL%% for sale but the picture shows an SL55R. Anyone know what this means?
Thanks.

You mean one of these cars? Very Rare - I've only seen 1.

sincerely doubt this "R" is a Mercedes designation. Likely a Renntech (or poser). Here is a video of an SL55r where it is referred to as a Rientech (Rientech?)

Yes, this one (above) is that uber-rare mercedes-Nissan joint effort . Someone merged the technologies by successfully cutting the "GT" off of a Nissan GT-R badge and then sticking the "R" on the back of an an SL55 : )

its a false emblem. But in the 17 and up, the sl63 goes by sl63R for Roadster

Yea,

That is not a real SL55R, in fact I forget if I've ever really seen one!

There was a guy in a Mustang Forum that like to add a "R" to every Mustang he had - and got a lot of rash for doing it.

Mercedes people are even more rash to Mercedes posers! Especially AMG posers !

They could not even place the badge in line with the original badge.
They either wanted it to look like a Race version or they like Rutgers.
