Mercedes-Benz AMG SL buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz AMG SL is a high-price, high-performance roadster rather than a casual cruiser buy. The SL 43 already has 381 PS and 480 Nm in Malaysian launch form, while the SL 63 and SL 63 S E Performance move the car into serious V8 and PHEV territory. The range makes sense if the four-seat convertible layout matters. If it does not, the prices are hard to ignore.
