I have had 2 SL55 AMGs I am now on a Japanese import E55 AMG with the M113K Engine at the moment she is pushing out 559bhp and 474bhp at the back wheels I will be after my 3rd SL55 AMG early in 2025 ❤ I know this M113K engine inside out as I do all the work myself
Have a SL55 …. Lovely sound. Also have the SL600 which I prefer. Super smooth and torque for days. The New SL63 thou!!! Wow what a car that is. Shame they don’t do a V12 version. Nice review 👍🏼
Thanks for the comment. Yes, these things are awesome. What is it exactly that you prefer with the SL600. It's interesting as some folk say they prefer the 55 V8 over the V12s, be good to hear what does it for you?
The power on the V12 is so smooth and the drive is so much smoother. The interior is better as it has a higher spec, but my SL55 has a better sounding exhaust. Both great cars, it’s really hard to explain, but the power delivery is way different on both. The V12 is so quiet and feels more special.
I love my 55 AMG I said to you before you get abc pump for £450 with warranty from Poland which I had fitted when it packed up, I have driven mine in anger up against v12 Aston vantages R 8 with Lambo engines and it keeps up, they are awesome cars and they will definitely start climbing in value! Sun shining I am off for a blast!! 👍👍
Not sure about the value climbing thing. Maybe marginally over time as everything else rises too, but beautiful GT cars like this and the Jag XK will forever be held back (monetarily) by their lack of a manual option.
Get a slr TCU tune, works great on this car, a smaller sc pulley split cooling and you have one hell of a car, I've done all on mine, pushes 650bhp 1000nm
@@TABonTV I drive mine most days during the summer, I've just added bigger injectors and I'm actually getting better mpg on the motorway, I'm not planning on selling it any time soon so don't mind it being non standard, next will ABC delete, probably over the winter time
Love my SL55 ‘Absolutely’….. (you say absolutely waaaaaaaay to much btw) brilliant car and do agree with you to avoid ABC delete. Great modern classics for sure 👍🏼

One of the best engines ever made? It's got to be up there!

Refined one minute, then a thug another. Beautiful.
Thanks Tab.
Such great cars! 👍🏻

Perfect review of this fantastic vehicle, you summed it up beautifully, oh and yes the sound…..makes your hair stand on end!
They are rather good aren't they!

For me it's all about keeping it stock / OEM. I drive it easy (most of the time)

@@endaf what did this all cost please?!
i have the Performance Package and it has a LSD - great feature for sure!
Yeah, the P30 option pack cars command a premium for a a reason! 👍🏻
@@TABonTV love the colour of your car btw. - very special! i nearly bought one too in that colour!

It's because they absolutely are absolutely amazing! 😆
How would you compare the 55 next to the 63…..?
You're asking the wrong guy. I have an abnormal amount of love for the 55 😂
@@TABonTV cheers, you did a great interview with Thorney MotoSports….
Much appreciated!
Sounds like an AI review read from a script.
