This stalwart of the Benz lineup gives wealthy buyers what they want.
This reinvention of the SL makes it slightly more practical, but Mercedes keeps the pendulum from swinging too far toward sensible. Two versions, both AMGs, are available. Thewe tested uses the same twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 as the less dear SL55 but raises horsepower from 469 to 577. It rips off runs to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds and turns traffic to a blur as soon as you roll into the accelerator. Just be sure to keep the nine-speed automatic in a mode angrier than Eco.
A high beltline and cowl put you and the passenger deep in the SL's bathtub. Sitting low doesn't aid outward vision, but it does keep you far from the airstream when the top is down. Leather wraps most surfaces, and contrasting stitching is a nice touch, although the seams on the door didn't even remotely align with those on the instrument panel. Like any convertible, the SL63 lives its best life with the top down. The V-8 spits a fiery and gutsy tune, and the scents roll in.
