SL 63 Design And Features

The Mercedes-AMG SL 63 may be on the verge of electrifying its whole portfolio, but the bi-turbo V-8 is a fitting farewell before that happens, even though the SL is far from the only AMG vehicle to be inspired by it. With a 0-60 mph timing of 3.2 seconds and a peak speed of 193 mph, you’ll often find yourself out of the road by the time you reach fourth gear. Power is readily accessible across the rev range, and it arrives with a predictable smooth and neck-snapping growl.

The SL’s revised external appearances are complemented with a totally contemporary and sophisticated interior that one would expect from a top-spec AMG vehicle, including a wealth of superb standard creature comforts and driver’s aids that would be tedious to describe. Essentially, if you desire it, the SL 63 has it, from massaging front seats to a Burmester 3D audio system.

The new SL’s power-adjustable, 11.9-inch touchscreen is one of its most striking features. With the touch of a button on the short row of haptic controls at the bottom of the display, the screen may be electrically slanted farther toward the driver or adjusted to stay installed just on top of the dash.

This may be considered gimmicky, but I found it useful, especially when the top was down to prevent sunlight from washing out the screen. Aside from the sport’s settings, the haptic feedback controls on the steering wheel in place of standard buttons and knobs can be difficult to operate, especially when increasing radio levels. But it’s more motivating to switch off the radio, shift the 63 into Sport+ mode, and smash some bends.

SL 63 Engine and Performance

The Mercedes-AMG SL 63 is already working on a new hybrid SL called the AMG E Performance, which will partially electrify the SL. But, for the time being, the top-tier SL 63 will be propelled by a succession of little explosions that add up to explosive power on the road. The 4.0-liter bi-turbo V-8 in the SL 63 produces 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 108 horsepower over the SL 55.

Mercedes may be on the verge of electrifying its whole portfolio, but the bi-turbo V-8 is a fitting send-off before that happens, even though the SL is far from the only AMG vehicle to be inspired by it. With a 0-60 mph time of 3.2 seconds and a peak speed of 193 mph, the 63 will screech its tires into fourth gear – maybe higher – but by the time it reaches fourth, you’ll often find yourself out of the road. Power is readily accessible throughout the rev range, and the grunt is dependably smooth and neck-snapping.

Mercedes-AMG SL 63 Price

The SL 63 is unquestionably near the top of the class in terms of soul-stirring qualities. However, with an as-tested price of more than $202,000, pleasure may still be quantified. Without a destination, the 2023 Mercedes SL 63 starts at $178,100 for the Touring trim and $179,900 for the Performance level. My tester cost more than $202,000 with extras including an improved Burmester sound system, the AMG Aerodynamics Package, Driver Assistance Package, and Performance Line (which includes a front axle lift system).
