The Mercedes-Benz SL63 S AMG E Performance is the most powerful SL model
The new Mercedes-Benz SL63 S AMG E Performance has debuted and it sports a 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine and the AMG Electric Drive Unit that together generate a system output of 816hp and a maximum torque of up to 1,420Nm. This makes it the most powerful SL model of all time.
In addition to this achievement, The Mercedes-Benz SL63 S AMG E Performance is already the fifth series with the AMG-specific E Performance hybrid technology. The immediate response of the electric drive, the rapid build-up of torque and the linear power delivery enable an impressive driving experience.
Moreover, the Mercedes-Benz SL63 S AMG E Performance has a century sprint time of just 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 317km/h. Systems such as the AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with active roll stabilisation and active rear-axle steering also ensure a widespread between comfort and driving dynamics.
In the Mercedes-Benz SL63 S E Performance, the AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine on the front axle is combined with an electric drive unit on the rear axle. It integrates a 150kW (204hp), permanently excited synchronous electric motor with an electrically switched two-speed transmission and a mechanical rear axle limited-slip differential.
The lightweight high-performance AMG battery is also located in the rear above the rear axle. This compact design results in numerous advantages. The electric motor acts directly on the rear axle and can therefore convert its power more directly into propulsion, providing extra boost when starting off, accelerating, or overtaking.
On top of that, the mechanical connection of the fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive makes this possible via the cardan shaft and drive shafts of the front wheels. The positioning on the rear axle improves the weight and axle load distribution in the vehicle and thus forms the basis for convincing handling.
The interior also provides maximum comfort. The cockpit design right down to the portrait format display in the centre console is focused on the driver and impresses with a harmonious overall impression. The practical dimensional concept with 2+2 seats offers generous space and a comfortable ride with sporty handling.
One of many highlights in the interior of the Mercedes-Benz SL63 S AMG E Performance are the three massage programmes that ensure excellent long-distance comfort. This can be increased with the ENERGIZING Package Plus that combines seating functions and lighting moods to create relaxing comfort programmes.
So when will the Mercedes-Benz SL63 S AMG E Performance come to Malaysia? Let’s hope soon.
