The 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 SL63 features the same turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 as the SL55 but benefits from an extra 108bhp. We've yet to sample this model but it is significantly more expensive than the SL55 and only a touch quicker (0-62mph is a claimed 3.6 seconds) so we're not convinced it is worth the extra expense.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK
