Drive Review of 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL63

with 0 comentários

Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March, the SL63 AMG Mercedes-Benz high-performance variant of the SL range, at least until the monster comes SL65 V12 version in November. The SL63 has hooked a fist like a 5.5-liter, 530 hp, 590 lb-ft twin-turbo charged V8 engine with a clutch seven-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels wet.

Standard features include multiple parameters for the transmission and engine response (comfort, with a fuel-saving start / stop, sports, sports and more, manually prepared using drag-strip start the race), Active Body Control suspension with comfort and attitudes of sport AMG, the usual exterior aerodynamic fairing and finishing interior improvements and new-for-2013-IWC-design analogue clock dash.

A $ 9,000 psi cranking AMG Performance Package Update 4.3, the inverter output to 557 hp and 664 Nm of torque, the car is about 0.2 seconds from 0 to shaved-60-mph time (up to 4, 0 seconds) a higher top speed of 155 mph to 186 mph UPS. The package also includes a limited slip differential, and red brake calipers.

Test Drive

If you are looking for an artist, looking for track position, they are looking in the wrong place: theSL63 AMG is much more powerful and capable, but more character to a Grand Touring Roadster by an avant-garde, teeth clenched, knuckles white runners. The car was good straight at home, winding mountain roads around Saint-Tropez, southern France, where the car Mercedes decided to show his talent. The engine not only produces a seemingly endless torque, the speed of the line, but does so with an accompanying roar of the exhaust gas and gossip, reminiscent in its way, from a husky V8 outboards. The power is not readily available - there may be transitional, while doing the turbo gear and their cause - but the little time is quickly replaced with such great force that is often sufficient to provide the rear wheel traction and / or solve The stability control comes into play

But back in the beautiful city where people would rather have seen and have not heard the car in comfort mode, driving slowly and unnoticed, even stopping the engine stops. The car should stop function and a weight loss of £ 275 with an estimated 30 percent better fuel economy than the previous post SL63 AMG, and Mercedes says, an average of 22.8 mpg U.S. economy combined fuel assimilated. But because the company only 19 mpg for the SL550, combines low-power estimates, we assume that the final EPA combined number closer mpg to 19, in the CLS63 AMG, the powertrain is the same as the new SL63 written.

If there is a negative impact that the technicians do not have enough magic in the direction of the electric machine electromechanical, which works on a light is not excessive and unnecessary contact with the road. There is a sense of contribution that the machine is very light and tossable, but at the expense of weight control and intuitive and requires too many mid-corner correction, so the driver can easily extract the highest balanced performance suspension and perfectly controlled.

Prices Review

If you are among the buyers, the mature sports car of a courageous artist, part-time, but a car that is smooth as butter, the love, as a rule, in most everyday situations, a sense SL63 AMG. With or without performance package, there are more than enough power and the management of external borders to push the majority of consumers the opportunity, but with an adult website that contains all laid between the lines in most of the leaders conditions. Could you in a few extras, such as the excellent Bang & Olufsen (6400 $) or an open-hands-free power trunk and more, and the car almost perfect add roadster for a few wealthy seekers.
