The new flagship SL 63 S E Performance is the most powerful Mercedes-AMG roadster yet<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

This is the new top-spec Mercedes-AMG SL 63 S E Performance. Typically, top-spec AMG SLs of former generations might have employed the use of a V12 engine, but as a devotee of excess you\u2019ll be glad to know the new V8-powered top-spec SL has not been caught short in terms of power, whatever the cylinder count. That\u2019s because its new model features an 804bhp hybrid-assisted powertrain that makes it both the quickest and most powerful SL yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Building on the existing SL range that already includes the V8-powered SL 55 and SL 63 S, the new E Performance is based on the latter, coming with an additional rear-mounted hybrid module that helps create its headline power figure. This is the same unit that\u2019s already been introduced in AMG\u2019s C 63 and S 63 models, combining a 200bhp e-motor with a two-speed transmission and limited slip differential all packaged into the rear axle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
