Mercedes-AMG’s Most Powerful SL Ever: The SL63 S E Performance

Mercedes-AMG introduces the SL63 S E Performance, marking the pinnacle of the SL lineup with a powerhouse performance. With a potent combination of a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine and AMG’s Electric Drive Unit, the roadster boasts an impressive 816hp and a massive 1,420Nm of torque. This plug-in hybrid electric vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in a blistering 2.9 seconds, reaching a top speed of 317km/h.

The SL63 S E Performance features a 400-volt, 6.1-kilowatt-hour battery pack designed by AMG for optimal power delivery. The battery provides 13km of pure electric driving, contributing to both performance and efficiency. The V8 engine alone delivers 612hp, while the electric motor adds 204hp.

AMG incorporates active aerodynamics adapted for the electrified powertrain, including a deployable element in the underbody and an extendable rear spoiler with five new angular positions. The aerodynamic enhancements not only optimise performance but also enhance stability and efficiency.

The braking system is equipped with ceramic composite brakes featuring bronze callipers, and the model rides on 20-inch multi-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels. The charge port flap on the rear bumper, E Performance fender badges, and distinctive twin tailpipes distinguish the SL63 S E Performance.

Inside, the roadster offers AMG sports seats, with optional performance buckets and one- or two-tone Nappa leather. The MBUX infotainment system is tailored with AMG and hybrid-specific displays and functions.

The car comes standard with active rear-axle steering, AMG Performance 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system, and AMG Active Ride Control suspension with semi-active roll stabilisation. The regenerative braking system offers four levels of recoupment, with the option for one-pedal driving.

For customisation, the Mercedes Manufaktur program is available, offering a range of exterior and interior styling options, including unique Nappa leather treatments with diamond quilting.
