The model
Read full Mercedes AMG SL reviewThe latest Mercedes SL trades the previous version's slightly dumpy looks and handling for something more aggressive. It's still more of a grand tourer than a sports car, but is now extremely composed, and, with its extra dose of practicality, it’s more versatile than ever.
The trim
See full equipmentGets the same kit as the Touring Plus but features chrome detailing instead of blacked-out exterior elements.
The engine
See full engine specsThe SL55 gets a turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 that delivers its 469bhp through a 4Matic+ four-wheel-drive system. At our private test track we clocked one sprinting from 0-60mph in just 3.7 seconds. With its Nascar-aping soundtrack it is our favourite engine in the range.
