About the Mercedes Brabus SLS AMG 700 Biturbo Roadster Pearl White Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces Brabus's 700 Biturbo package on the Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster, pearl white paint over widened arches, forged wheels, and a folding soft top in place of the coupe's gullwing doors. A 2013 open-top tuner special for a Mercedes performance shelf.
Where the SLS AMG coupe sells on its gullwing doors, the roadster sells on proportion: a lower beltline and a folded top that turn the same Brabus 700 Biturbo mechanicals into a different kind of shelf piece entirely.
Brabus's 700 Biturbo Roadster Conversion
Brabus offered the 700 Biturbo package across both SLS AMG body styles, but converting a fixed-roof coupe into a roadster meant reworking the chassis for stiffness the gullwing car got for free from its roof structure.
Soft Top Mechanism and Body Width
Minichamps molds the folded soft top sitting low behind the seats, a detail unique to this casting since the coupe tool has no equivalent panel to sculpt. The same widened front and rear arches from the Biturbo body kit carry over, along with the deeper front apron and larger intake ducts that mark every 700-badged Brabus car regardless of roof configuration. The forged Monoblock wheels sit at the same aggressive offset, pulled tight against the flared arch lips, so this roadster's width reads identically to the coupe's from the side.
Shared Power Package, Different Character
The Biturbo engine work is unchanged between body styles: the same recalibrated turbochargers, exhaust, and management tuning behind the 700 figure in Brabus's naming convention. What changes is presentation. A roadster invites a more relaxed reading of an otherwise extreme tuner build, and the pearl white finish, one of Brabus's signature launch colors, suits that softer presentation better on an open car than on the visually harder gullwing coupe.
Minichamps' Approach to an Open-Top Casting
An open-top casting asks different things of a diecast tool than a fixed roof, starting with what happens to the beltline and windscreen frame once the roof panel disappears entirely.
Folding Top Detail and Paint Depth
The folded top sits neatly stowed behind the seats rather than left as a flat, unconvincing shape, and the fabric texture Minichamps molds into that panel reads correctly even close up. Paint depth on the pearl white body holds the same fine metallic shift as the coupe under direct light, with clean, even coverage across the wider rear arches. Shut lines around the doors, carrying standard hinges rather than the coupe's diagonal gullwing mechanism, close tightly and sit flush with the surrounding bodywork.
Weight, Interior, and Windscreen Frame
Zinc alloy construction gives the roadster the same dense feel in hand as the coupe, and the windscreen frame, exposed without a roofline to blend into, is molded thin enough to look structural rather than toy-like. Inside, the Brabus-specific upholstery carries over from the coupe's interior tooling, with contrast stitching picked out separately from the seat material. It is a mid-tier diecast piece, not a sealed resin showpiece, and it is priced and finished accordingly.
Coupe or Roadster in a Brabus Collection
Deciding between the coupe and roadster comes down to which body style tells the Brabus story better on a specific shelf. The gullwing coupe is the more dramatic opening feature, but the roadster's folded top and cleaner beltline give it a different presence, closer to a classic convertible than an aggressive tuner car. At a comparable footprint to the coupe, around 21 centimeters, it slots into the same cabinet row without special accommodation, and displayed with the top down it catches ambient light differently than the coupe's fixed roofline. Collectors chasing a complete Brabus SLS pairing will want both; those choosing one should let roof drama versus open-air proportion make the call.
