Recently, foreign media filmed a set of unconmouflaged spy photos of the new Mercedes-AMG SL 43 model. The new AMG SL model was officially released in October last year, and two models, the AMG SL 55 and the AMG SL 63 models, were announced, and the SL 43 model photographed by foreign media this time is obviously a more entry-level version of the whole series. It is reported that the new car may be equipped with a 2.0T+48V light hybrid power system, which is expected to be officially released in April and open pre-sale in overseas markets.
In terms of appearance, the new car as a whole still continues the design of the new AMG SL model, equipped with a large-size grille similar to a rounded trapezoid, and the central network is the iconic straight waterfall shape of the AMG family, with extremely sharp headlights and flat front ends on both sides, which is quite aggressive. At the same time, compared with the previously released AMG SL 55 and AMG SL 63 models, the bumper design of the new car has been adjusted to a certain extent, and the through-front black trim is used.
The side of the new car has not changed significantly, and the elegant sports car shape and convertible layout are still maintained, and the hidden door handles are not absent. However, it can be seen that the size of the wheels equipped with the new car will be reduced, and the shape will be relatively traditional.
In terms of the rear, although the vehicle in the picture has covered the tail marker, the word SL 43 can still be clearly seen from the outline. The taillights of the new car are also sharp, and the exhaust is also arranged in a bilateral four-out layout, but the shape of the exhaust pipe orifice and the bottom surround will be adjusted.
In terms of interior, although the interior of the new car has not yet been announced, it is expected that there will be no significant changes in the design compared with the previously released models. The new car will be equipped with a full LCD instrument and a vertically arranged central control screen, and the second generation of MBUX infotainment interaction system will be built-in, and it may differ from the SL 55 and SL 63 models in terms of color, material and configuration.
In terms of power, according to foreign media reports, the new car may be equipped with a 2.0T turbo engine codenamed M254 with a power combination of 48V light hybrid system, and its maximum engine power is expected to be 390 horsepower, and the comprehensive power of the system is expected to exceed 400 horsepower. In addition, the new car will be mated to a 9AT gearbox and will feature rear-wheel drive.
