  • Today we figure out the perfect formula of accelerator pedal input to make the 2024 Mercedes-AMG SL63 sound like a whistle AND a popcorn machine simultaneously. Afterwards we sit back, and let the wind blow through our (probably) white hair, and enjoy the soft ride on this brilliant grand touring roadster.

    I would love if you mentioned the competition in your videos. Like how does SL compare to the LC500? It's very hard for us to drive all the competition, so here's the unique opportunity to add value to your reviews. Unless you don't want to piss some manufacturers off by criticising their car. If you want to be serious about your channel, you have to bite the bullet at some point. Keep up the good work.

    10:47 To open/close the roof just press the roof button on the bar below the display once. After a short moment press it a second time + hold it then. That will start/end the open or closing process. So no more burned finger tips.

    Whenever I go on road trips I time my trips out so I leave and stop driving right after the sun comes up bc I love driving at night so much bc it’s so peaceful

    Plenty of cars have had that screen angle adjustment feature. The Cadillac Escalade used to have it back in '05-ish, for example. Older Mercedes S-Classes had a sideways tilt feature, if memory serves me right.

    Beautiful exterior. Interior looks like a nightclub in Moscow. Arms dealer car. LC 500 all day long over this. This SL will be in the junkyard in 20 years (or less) and the LC 500 will still be running solid.

      it has the same interior as a c63, a significantly cheaper AMG.
      Tablet touchscreen is a cheap design that looks like an after-thought. Not to mention you risk losing climate controls if your touchscreens stops working/is broken.
      To top it all of, it is HEAVY af. 400 lbs heavier than Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet .

    Funny your opinion on this SL being 90% of the Aston DB12 is polar opposite to Throttle House. They mentioned the SL having orange peel paint, cheapened interior materials, rougher ride, etc..
    There is no question that Mercedes is cost cutting and prices are up big. You didn't get that sense?
