Mercedes Benz Sl Amg

The fifth generation of the SL had few AMG special products in its lineup. Before the mid-life cycle facelift had a supercharged 5.4 V8 unit, which was replaced in 2008 with the bigger 6.2-liter V8 unit. For some, it sound like a downgrade, but the new, naturally aspirated engine, was rev-happy. The SL 63 AMG wasn't slow at all. The 525 hp and the 630 Nm (465 lb-ft) of torque are good values. It had a new, 7-speed Automatic AMG Speedshift (dual-clutch), compared with the 5-speed automatic gearbox from the SL 55. But the fact is that the new SL63 was slower with 0.1 seconds in the 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) sprint than the model it replaced.
