After introducing two variants equipped with V8 engines, Mercedes-AMG now unveils the SL 43, a technologically advanced entry-level model of their freshly designed roadster icon.
The retractable rear spoiler seamlessly integrated into the vehicle profile. It changes its position depending on the driving status.
The "RACE" driving mode delivers race track performance at the touch of a button with even more spontaneous engine response and a more direct accelerator pedal characteristic
The AMG Exterior Chrome Package contains elegant high-gloss chrome accents on the front apron, the side sill trim and the rear.
The driving performance is up to par: from a standstill, the SL 43 accelerates to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds if required, and the top speed is 275 km/h.
This is the first time in the world that an electric exhaust gas turbocharger is being used in a production vehicle.
The SL 43 runs on 19-inch light-alloy wheels as standard.
The system in the SL 43 is a direct derivative of the development successfully used by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team for many years in the premier class of motorsport.
The standard MBUX infotainment system offers a choice of several specific display styles and different modes.
The highlight are the four galvanised turbine nozzles. Their surfaces merge into the instrument panel in the form of powerful power domes.
The four-cylinder engine known as the M139, which has long been used transversely in Mercedes-AMG compact models without an electric exhaust turbocharger, is positioned longitudinally in the SL 43.
