One of the most popular roadsters in th world, the new Mercedes SL, recently updated with a comprehensive facelift, is now available to order in the UK.
As we announced earlier, the 2015 Mercedes SL will offer four engines, all of them running on gasoline. The SL 400 comes with a 4.0-litre V6 engine which produces 367 hp, 34 hp more than its predecessor, and has a 0-62 time of 4.9 seconds. The SL 500 features a 4.6-litre V8 motor with an output of 455 hp, enough to reach 62 mph in 4.3 seconds. The Mercedes-AMG SL63 features a 5.5-litre V8 engine with 585 hp, meaning it can sprint from 0 to 62 in just 4.1 seconds. The SL 65 comes with a 6.0-litre V12 engine, which has an output of 630 hp and a 0-62 time of only four seconds.
Mercedes-Benz’ 9G-tronic Plus automatic gearbox now comes as standard on both the SL 400 and SL 500, replacing the 7G-tronic automatic transmission.
