New Mercedes-AMG SL DEBUTS next week
The new Mercedes SL – which this time round will be an AMG SL – will debut on 28 October as Mercedes delivers a new 4WD Sports Car.
The new photo of the new SL is another photo of the interior – this time a bit wider and a ‘night’ shot – so it tells us nothing we don’t already know.
Officially, all Mercedes has to say on the new SL is:
The new Mercedes-AMG SL returns to its roots with a soft top and progressive character. At the same time, the luxurious roadster is suitable for everyday use as a 2+2-seater, and for the first time puts its performance to the pavement with all-wheel drive. Further high-tech components sharpen the dynamic profile as do comfort characteristics in the first SL ever developed by Mercedes-AMG.
So it’ll be a soft-top 2+2 Roadster – although the back seats, as in SLs past, will probably be more useful as a parcel shelf than a seating area – and that it’ll come with all-wheel drive and be more of a driving machine than SLs in recent decades.
What sits under the SL’s bonnet is still a guessing game, but expect a 4.0-litre V8 to be in the mix and even a plug-in hybrid, although perhaps not initially, with models such as the SL 43, SL 53 and SL 63 offering a range of power outputs and prices. There are even rumours of an electric AMG SL to come.
All will be revealed next week.
