First the power, then the allure. The SL 63 AMG brings both together with its 8-cylinder AMG engine producing 386 kW (525 hp), and 630 Nm. A power that is transferred by the new AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission, which combines the spontaneity of a manual transmission with the convenience of an automatic. Fascination is ensured, by the vehicle’s muscular forms. Its AMG bonnet and AMG spoiler lip at the rear impress upon the viewer the image of a super sports car. An AMG sports exhaust system with its two twin chromed tailpipes round off this image. The SL 63 AMG stands firmly on new-design 19-inch triple-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels. Behind the front wheels the AMG high-performance brake system with composite discs and 6-piston brake callipers can be clearly seen. And their action is just as powerful as the impression they produce – in true AMG style, designed for maximum performance.

The SL 65 AMG is responsible for causing the most exhilarating sensations. Powered by an AMG 6.0-litre V12 biturbo engine with an output of 450 kW (612 hp) and a peak torque of 1000 Nm, the SL 65 AMG is one of the world’s most powerful series-production roadsters. Extremely impressive performance is also the name of the game when the AMG high-performance braking system kicks in, with composite brake discs measuring 390 millimetres in diameter at the front and 360 millimetres on the rear axle. The SL 65 AMG is clearly recognisable from afar on account of its 19-inch AMG twin-spoke forged wheels and the front-apron crossmember painted in matt silver. Then there are the AMG side skirts and an AMG rear apron. Two twin tailpipes featuring AMG V12 styling give the rear of the car an effortlessly superior air. And the performance clearly hinted at on the outside is matched by the level of exclusivity inside: the interior is appointed in fine Exclusive nappa leather featuring an AMG V12 diamond design. Along with the AMG ergonomic sports steering wheel with aluminium shift paddles and the AMG RACETIMER function in the AMG instrument cluster, genuine carbon-fibre trim elements underline the sporting credentials of this unique roadster.
