Mercedes-AMG SL 63: The Icon Returns, Amplified
The Mercedes-Benz SL has been one of the most important roadsters in automotive history since 1954. For a generation, it strayed from its athletic roots toward a softer, more touristic character. The R232 generation — developed by AMG from a clean sheet — brought the SL back. The 2022 Mercedes-AMG SL 63 4MATIC at Opulent Exotics Jacksonville, priced at $103,244 with 12,800 miles, is the most driver-focused SL in forty years.
AMG V8: 577 bhp of Handcrafted Power
The AMG 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 — assembled by a single technician who signs the engine plate — produces 577 bhp and 590 lb-ft of torque in SL 63 specification. The nine-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT transmission delivers gear changes in under 100 milliseconds in Race mode. The exhaust system — electronically variable with four distinct character modes from Comfort to Race — ranges from socially acceptable at idle to a thundering V8 bark at full throttle that AMG's engineers spent more time developing than almost any other element of the car.
Unlike previous SL generations, the R232 SL 63 is available exclusively with 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive — a rear-biased torque distribution that delivers up to 100% of drive to the rear axle under normal conditions but distributes to the front wheels under oversteer or low-grip conditions. The combination of rear bias and the AMG Active Ride Control suspension — electro-hydraulic actuators that respond to road inputs in 10 milliseconds — provides a sports car driving experience without the compromises of pure rear-wheel drive.
The SL 63 Soft Top: 15 Seconds to Open Air
The R232 SL 63's fabric soft top deploys in 15 seconds at speeds up to 37 mph. The tri-layer acoustic construction achieves a closed-roof noise level that rivals fixed-roof competitors. A standard rear windscreen extends above the headrests when the roof is open, allowing highway-speed driving with minimal wind noise reaching the occupants. For Jacksonville and Northeast Florida's climate, the SL 63 is the perfect year-round open-top grand tourer.
