Starting at $141,000, the Mercedes-Benz AMG SL 55 Roadster is a sleek beauty.
The Mercedes-Benz AMG SL 55 Roadster is a legend born not just to race but to set records and the SL has been winning the hearts of drivers for generations. Now, this iconic roadster has been reborn, with a fusion of innovative tech, impeccable luxury and influential style.
This convertible is a shiny star on the road, the Taylor Swift of roadsters, making you wonder where this car has been all your life.
The AMG-developed biturbo V8 is engineered for a modern era of performance, generating 469 horsepower from just 4.0 liters. Its 516-pound-feet torque peak arrives at just 2,250 rpm, and persists to 4,500 rpm, to rocket you to 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds on the way to a 183-mph top track speed.
SL-specific enhancements include active crankcase ventilation, repositioned intercoolers and higher boost. Yet even with its advanced technologies, each AMG engine is still hand-built and signed by its own craftsman.
It delivers 13 miles per gallon in the city and 21 miles per gallon on the highway. It’s a race car that can seat four.
The engineering is what makes this car special. The nine-speed multi-clutch transmission’s AMG speedshift MCT technology shortens shift times and offers quick multi-gear downshifts. A wet startup clutch eliminates the torque converter, improving performance and, along with a magnesium casing, saving weight. The AMG dynamic select sport and sport+ programs, as well as a selectable manual mode, progressively quicken upshifts and rev-match downshifts, while comfort mode can decouple the driveline to save fuel when coasting.
The first SL with all-wheel drive, its 4MATIC system can instantly vary the front-to-rear torque split in precise response to driving conditions and driver inputs, including 100 percent rear-wheel drive. An electromechanical coupling between the front and rear axles is controlled based on an elaborate matrix of driving mode, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, and available grip to optimize handling and acceleration on virtually any road or track surface.
The limited-slip differential’s electronic control can lock the differential with greater precision and speed, based on the changing driving demands as you corner, accelerate and brake. Dynamic variable locking also allows higher cornering speeds at the limit, adapting to road-surface friction, lateral forces and other driving conditions as they are experienced.
So let’s make one thing clear — the brains behind the Mercedes-Benz AMG SL 55 Roadster have made it unique, powerful and beautiful. Give it a shot.
