Mercedes-Benz India has on Thursday launched the seventh generation AMG SL 55 4MATIC+ roadster version for a starting all-India ex-showroom price of INR 2.35 crore.
Combining the sportiness of the original SL with the unique luxury and technologies that characterise modern Mercedes-Benz models, the new roadster is powered by a V8 3,982 cc engine that develops an output of 350 kW (476 hp) and a peak torque of 700 Nm. The sprint from standstill to 100 kmph takes 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 295 kmph.
The SL 55 has a drive system acting on all four wheels and is equipped with AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive technology as standard. This intelligent system combines the advantages of different drive concepts, such as the fully variable torque distribution to the front and rear axles, ensuring optimal traction up to the physical limit.
The SL's aerodynamics meet the complex requirements of handling stability, drag, cooling, and wind noise. Regardless of whether the top is down or up, the vehicle's character and driving characteristics remain unchanged. The even aerobalance helps to defuse critical driving situations, such as a sudden evasive manoeuvre at high speed.The car's bodyshell benefits from an AMG sports car platform in terms of an intelligent material mix of steel, magnesium, fibre composites, and aluminium sets lightweight construction standards. One of many highlights in the interior of the new SL is the sculptural seat design of the standard. The head restraints are integrated into the backrest and emphasise the sporty character. Matching ergonomics and various progressive seam and quilting patterns complete the symbiosis of hightech, performance, and luxury. AMG Performance seats are available as standard.
