  • With its storied history of transporting the wealthy in dramatic fashion for over 70 years, the SL is truly an automotive icon. Picturing a 1950’s era SL with its “Gullwing” doors raised is an image even non-car people can elicit.
    After a brief hiatus for the 2021 model year, Mercedes has redrawn the SL for a new generation of convertible aficionados this time with an additional 2 seats and an exclusive tune from its in-house speed shop; all 3 SL trims now wear the AMG badge. For those who can afford a 6-figure roadster, this all-new SL will undoubtedly satisfy and though I haven’t driven the base SL 43 with its hybridized 2.0-liter turbo, I would most certainly aspire to this range-topping SL 63 with its twin-turbo V8, 577 horsepower, 590 pound-feet of torque and 0-to-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds. And believe it or not, all of these numbers seem undervalued. This car is a monster…it’s Aaron Judge in a tuxedo. And just like his contract, this car costs a boatload of money…$183,000 to start and $208,000 as seen here.

    I wish reviewers would read the manual. Pressing the top button at the bottom of the screen twice and holding it on the second press raises or lowers the top. No need to mess with the slider on the screen.

    “Air Scarf Neck Heating System.”
    I’m sold.

    The soft Top can be open or close by pressing the soft top button once then hold it again for 5 sec. No need to do it on the screen

    What spoils it for me, is that the interior does not look like a vehicle of its class, dominated by a screen which is effectively the same across most Mercedes vehicles.

  • @Pabla98
    @Pabla98 5 місяців тому

    I like the SL but its wayyy to expensive. 200k gets you a lot of vehicles, namely a 911. Plus the interior IMO looks a bit too simple for 200k. Dont get me started on the 115k asking for the 4 cylinder version.

    Why not spend $200k on a Porsche 911? There’s a convertible version

    • @thomaslukowsky5121
      @thomaslukowsky5121 2 місяці тому

      Because most Porsche don‘t sound as good as the SL63? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I owned many 911, they are a blast to drive but the new SL63 is the perfect GT. Is it worth 200k? No, it isn‘t BUT you can usually get one at a huge discount (at least here in Germany, I did) and the car is worth every penny.

      what are your priorities? each car is equally capable, so it has to come down to which feels best to you (both visually and tactile) and what emblem you want on the golf shirt or leather key chain

    Horrible sound. What happened to the classic SL? Make an inline 6 non AMG bagged quite and friendly looking. We have enough hostile looking garbage cars out there. I guess the classy crowd doesn’t exist anymore. ..
