Mercedes AMG SL63 S E Performance hits 62 mph in 2.9 seconds

The Mercedes AMG SL63 S E Performance is one of the most powerful Mercedes AMG cars, but also the most powerful SL model. It is a sporty 2+2 Roadster that attracts attention wherever it appears not only with its design but also with the sound of the engine like an enraged beast.

The car is powered by a 4-liter V8 biturbo engine combined with an electric motor (204 hp), on the rear axle, with a total power of 816 hp (608 kW) and 1,047 lb-ft (1,420 Nm) of torque. That’s enough to push the powerful car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 317 km/h (197 mph). Behind the cover on the rear bumper hides the connection for charging the 6.1 kWh battery, which ensures a range of 13 kilometers.

The AMG SL63 S E Performance features a fabric folding roof whose active aerodynamics, along with an adaptive suspension and mechanical limited-slip differential, are tuned to ensure superior handling. There is also a steering system (i) via the rear axle, eight work programs and adaptive integral drive (4Matic+). It sits on 20-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in 265/40 front and 295/35 rear Michelin tires. It is equipped with carbon-ceramic brakes with 420mm front and 380mm rear discs.

And while AMG still claims that they made no mistake when they made the decision that the new generation C-Class (C63) will be powered by a 2.0L four-cylinder hybrid, many potential buyers have turned to other car companies. However, everything remained the same with the SL.

Mercedes-AMG G63 is the best selling AMG model in Europe

According to the Global Automotive Market Research Company that provides analysis on market trends, car pricing and comparisons, JATO Dynamics, the Mercedes-AMG G63 is the best-selling AMG model in Europe, and this is the result of the increase in sales of luxury and sports models in Europe in the first eight months in 2023.

Although inflation and rising prices in Europe prevent most residents from renewing their fleet, it does not prevent those who have extra money to fulfill their dreams and buy new sports cars. In the first half of 2023, BMW sold 19,600 M sports cars in Europe. That’s a 58% increase compared to the same period in 2022. The company delivered 16,400 cars in the US, and the new XM SUV was the most popular with 1,171 units.

Another German brand, Mercedes-AMG sold 13,700 units in Europe, an increase of 57% compared to the first half of 2022. The Mercedes-AMG SL convertible was the most popular, but not enough to overtake the G63 AMG SUV. According to these statistics, one in four AMG buyers opted for the ultra-popular G63 SUV.
