When it comes to coupe cars, the Porsche 911 is definitely synonymous with this field. There are many derivative models of the 911, carrera can be used daily, GT3 RS mainly focuses on track brushing, on the classic There is Targa, to be elegant and Cabriolet. It can be said that the Porsche 911 simply blocked every road of the coupe. The "inventors of the car", also based in Stuttgart, are not content to fall behind in this field, and in 2014 they brought the second sports car in the AMG series, the AMG GT. The glory of the AMG GT has lasted for 7 years, and this front-facing sports car has been inseparable from the 911 in many markets with its more expensive 4-door model. Playing from 991 to 992, the AMG GT was also tired. At this time, Mercedes-Benz remembered the "dusty" SL, which was responsible for temporarily taking over the baton of the AMG GT. The new AMG SL will share the same platform as the next-generation AMG GT, which retains only a convertible form and favors luxury and comfort, while the latter focuses on track and competition, offering only a hardtop version.
The previously rumored plug-in mixing system consisting of a 2.0T engine did not arrive, and the AMG SL 43 was equipped with a longitudinal M139 2.0T engine + 48V mixing system. Many people may think of the M139 from the AMG A45/AMG A45 S, but it's a transverse M139 engine with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The longitudinal 2.0T engine can achieve 280 kW (381 hp) and 480 Nm of data, and the parameters are comparable to the AMG A45 and porsche 911 entry-level Carrera 3.0T, slightly lower than the AMG A45 S. Its 0-100km/h acceleration is 4.9 seconds, which is not as good as the AMG A45 S and the 911 Carrera Cabriolet 3.0T.
Plug and mix does not come, but the motor can not be less. The AMG SL 43 adds a very small motor to the turbine, which can start the turbine early, making the engine's low torque performance even better. And this technology, called electric turbines, comes from F1. In addition, the AMG SL 43 added a 48V motor to the engine part, and the motor was officially named RSG. This RSG motor is actually the second-generation version of the ISG motor, and the new generation motor can provide an additional 10 kW (14 hp) of power at start-up.
The engine-matched transmission mechanism is the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission. This gearbox is also the same as on the SL55/SL63, and is characterized by its light weight and high transmission efficiency.
In addition to a variety of kits and functions such as rear wheel steering and rear axle differential, the SL 43 basically retains the power level and chassis level that a million-class sports car should have. A roadster is a bit out of the way, and the AMG SL is better suited for country lanes or mountain roads. Perhaps, the lightest and weakest SL 43 is the best one in the AMG SL family.

The new AMG SL offers 12 exterior colors as well as 2 SL-exclusive colors (Hyper Blue Metallic and Manufaktur Monza Grey Magno). This time, the officially released SL 43 models are all cloaked in Hyper Blue Metallic (super metallic blue), which gives the AMG SL a more youthful taste. In addition, AMG SL also offers a variety of personalized appearance options, including carbon fiber exterior packages, blackened appearance packages and more.
The SL 43 in the official picture is equipped with 21-inch wheels. In fact, the SL 43 comes standard with a 19-inch rim and can be optionally fitted with a 20-inch/21-inch option. In addition, the SL 43 can also choose from a variety of rim styles, and the multi-spoke silver rim in the picture matches the blue paint. Another blackened branch rim is so handsome that you can open the retrospective image at the beginning of the article to check it out.
Editor's comments: In the future, after the end of models such as C Coupe and E Coupe, AMG SL will stand alone for a period of time. That said, if you want to buy a Mercedes-Benz coupe, the AMG SL will be the only option. The price of the AMG SL 43 is likely to be slightly lower than the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, but the latter's brand power and horizontal opposing 6 cylinders are likely to impress consumers more. If the AMG SL 43 can control the price in a relatively reasonable range, then its market response will still be good.
Who in the BBA would build the most coupe? I think, probably Mercedes-Benz, at least AMG SL can also talk about history and feelings. 2.0T, why bother?
