The new Mercedes-AMG SL, a reimagined icon, returns to its storied roots with a classic soft top and uncompromised sporty character. This luxurious 2+2 roadster blends everyday versatility with groundbreaking performance, introducing all-wheel drive for the first time. Advanced technologies like AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension, rear-axle steering, optional ceramic brakes, and DIGITAL LIGHT sharpen its dynamic edge. Paired with a potent 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine, it delivers a supreme driving experience. As a pure Performance Luxury creation from Affalterbach, two V8-powered models launch the range.<\/p>\n
Almost 70 years ago, a sports car from Stuttgart became a legend. Born from Mercedes-Benz’s motor racing ambitions, the original SL was a road-legal racer. Debuting in 1952, the 300 SL (W 194) dominated tracks worldwide, securing a one-two at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the top four at the N\u00fcrburgring Grand Jubilee Prize in its first year alone.<\/p>\n
The new SL fuses Mercedes-Benz’s sensual purity philosophy with AMG’s sporty DNA. Power bulges on the bonnet homage SL heritage, while balanced proportions offer enhanced interior space and functionality. Light and shadow play creates a visually agile stance, with every detail exuding premium exclusivity and muscular athleticism.<\/p>\n
The interior modernises the 300 SL Roadster tradition, catering to sport enthusiasts and comfort seekers alike. Sumptuous materials, impeccable craftsmanship, and driver-focused design\u2014including an electrically adjustable central display\u2014elevate luxury standards. The 2+2 seating and MBUX infotainment with customisable displays maximise practicality and immersion.<\/p>\n
From the 1952 filigree space frame to today, SL engineering prioritises lightweight rigidity. This latest iteration features a bespoke Mercedes-AMG aluminium-composite chassis, delivering superior dynamics, comfort, packaging, and proportions.<\/p>\n
Opting for an electric soft top over a metal roof saves 21 kg, lowering the centre of gravity for sharper handling\u2014without compromising noise insulation or daily usability.<\/p>\n
Launch models boast AMG’s 4.0-litre V8 biturbo in two outputs, now with 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive.<\/p>\n
The SL 63 4MATIC+ (combined 12.7-11.8 l\/100 km; 288-268 g\/km CO\u2082) produces 430 kW (585 hp) and 800 Nm (2500-4500 rpm), accelerating 0-100 km\/h in 3.6 s to 315 km\/h. The SL 55 4MATIC+ (same consumption\/emissions) offers 350 kW (476 hp) and 700 Nm, hitting 100 km\/h in 3.9 s and 295 km\/h top speed.<\/p>\n
Standard on SL 55 is AMG RIDE CONTROL+ steel suspension with lightweight components. A five-link front axle (fully within the wheel rim) enhances kinematics, while the SL 63 premieres ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL with hydraulic anti-roll for superior cornering, stability, and comfort.<\/p>\n
Standard active rear-axle steering adjusts rear wheels up to 2.5\u00b0 (low speeds) or 0.7\u00b0 opposite (high speeds), sharpening agility, stability, and reducing steering effort (12.8:1 ratio).<\/p>\n
AMG DYNAMIC SELECT modes\u2014Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Individual, RACE\u2014offer tailored dynamics from serene to track-focused.<\/p>\n
Motorsport-inspired active elements achieve a 0.31 Cd, balancing low drag and lift for efficiency and high-speed poise.<\/p>\n
Twelve colours (including Hyper Blue metallic and MANUFAKTUR Monza Grey magno), three roofs, 19-21-inch wheels, and design packages enable bespoke luxury.<\/p>\n
Sensors, cameras, and radar enable proactive safety, mirroring C- and S-Class tech for effortless speed\/distance control, lane-keeping, and collision avoidance\u2014visualised in the instrument cluster.<\/p>\n
MBUX offers intuitive touchscreen\/steering controls, Apple CarPlay\/Android Auto, Bluetooth, and DAB radio.<\/p>\n
