The 2025 Mercedes-AMG SL 63 revives the iconic SL as a pure AMG performance roadster. The handcrafted 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 produces 577 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque through the AMG Speedshift MCT 9-speed transmission and 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. The SL reaches 60 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 196 mph. A multi-layer fabric soft top opens in 15 seconds at speeds up to 37 mph. The 2+2 seating configuration offers occasional rear passenger capability. AMG Ride Control+ suspension with adaptive damping manages the grand touring and sport driving modes. The 11.9-inch OLED central display tilts electrically to reduce glare with the top down.

The 2025 Mercedes-AMG SL 63 revives one of motoring's most storied nameplates with a thoroughly modern interpretation. Its hand-built twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 produces 577 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, delivering ferocious acceleration at 3.5 seconds to 60 mph. The AMG-developed 4MATIC+ AWD system provides confident all-weather traction, a significant advantage over rear-drive competitors. The fabric soft-top saves weight over hardtop alternatives, and the 2+2 seating adds occasional rear passenger capability. Interior quality is exceptional, with AMG-specific displays and the MBUX Hyperscreen available as an option. Driving dynamics strike an impressive balance between GT comfort and sports car agility. At $178,950, it commands a premium over the Porsche 911 Cabriolet and BMW M8 Convertible, and fuel economy of 17/24 mpg is the expected penalty for this level of performance. Ideal for affluent drivers seeking a prestigious, all-season grand touring convertible with genuine AMG performance credentials.
