The prototype of the sports car in my mind was established by SL, it appeared in paper magazines, without the imagination and unreachability of Italian cows and horses, but with a very elegant figure, it appeared for the first time in the impression of a teenager, silver car paint, red leather interior, just like the first time I watched the movie "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", I felt the world of floating lights......
SL has always been an elegant gesture, and it is more in line with the positioning of the old European money on sports cars, sometimes opening the canopy to blow the face, sometimes closing the canopy to attack the corner, and finally decently appearing at a club party in a certain estate.
This generation of SL 63 is a lot sharper, the core reason is that this generation is the first product independently developed by AMG and based on AMG's new sports car architecture, which lacks the literary and artistic atmosphere of European sports cars and returns to AMG's performance orientation.
The profile is wider and sharper, and the structure inside the lamp cavity is more aggressive than the previous model's lower center of gravity, narrower and longer headlights, giving it a stronger sense of swooping than the previous SL. The front grille remains an inverted trapezoidal silhouette and is made up of 14 vertical trim strips, a nod to the 1952 300SL racing car.
The elegant proportions of the long front overhang and short rear overhang have not changed, and the classic shark fin shape has been simplified and re-redimensioned, leaving the AMG version with the answer: V8, twin-turbo, all-wheel drive!
When the speed is lower than 60km/h, this Z-shaped soft-top convertible can complete the opening and closing action in 15 seconds, and the canopy body is made of integrated three-layer soundproof mat + soundproof cotton material, and the noise in the car can be more effectively suppressed.
If you block the large central control screen, it is full of retro flavor, Mercedes-Benz is always a good combination of tradition and modernity, plus the optional white interior of this car, echoing the blue paint outside the car, quite a yacht temperament.
Another important change in the Mercedes-Benz SL is the return to the 2+2 seat layout, although the performance of the passenger space is relatively limited, but it does make daily use a lot more possible scenarios. It also has a head and neck heater system, which ensures elegance and decency when the top is open in cold weather.
It is equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine codenamed M177, which is widely used in the AMG series and has good fuel economy, and everyone is familiar with it. With a maximum power of 430 kW (585 Ps), a peak torque of 800 Nm·m, an acceleration time of 3.6 seconds to 100 km/h, and a top speed of 315 km/h, this engine is a well-deserved driving machine from the data.
The engine is equipped with an exclusive AMG dynamic engine mount, which can actively adjust the softness and hardness of the connection between the engine and the body, taking into account comfort and driving performance.
AMG is still a familiar taste, under the German precision machinery, there is a bit of the mania of American muscle cars, after a little fire, it begins to be irritable, the sound of snoring is several levels higher than that of street cars, if you stand on the side of the street and pay attention, use your chest cavity to feel the sound waves flutter in the air, it is still shocking.
Who would say no to an AMG that can be convertible? After opening the canopy, the classic boiling water is a little louder, no need to pull up the rotation, 2-3000rpm is endless, AMG's exhaust engineer is really a genius, this kind of wind mixed with AMG sound feels great!
Finally waited for a large section of open straight lines, the throttle in manual mode to the end, unlike the ghostly feeling of the tram, it can't wait to let the street also hear the roar, the four-wheel drive blessing makes this AMG much easier to drive, only the tire temperature is right, it no longer twists its body to compete with the driver, V8 and 2 turbos no longer need to describe its power, it's almost over. The slight disadvantage is that its red line area is short, and it always feels like it is a breath away.
The AMG's calibrated steering feel is not hardcore, and the center area is not as tight as the 911, even if you split the corner, you can make it more relaxed, you can drive it into a railcar, and even if you enter the corner with brakes, the wheels still maintain good traction, and the stability is quite high.
Write at the end
At the end of the writing, I tried to recall the list of vehicles that I had test-driven in the past six months, they accelerated quickly, the configuration was very top, but the homogeneity was serious, and further speaking, there was no character, it may be an excellent means of transportation, but it was not a fun driving companion, coupled with the popularity of assisted driving, so that the communication between the steering wheel and the car was further.
If you buy a sports car not to slaughter cattle and horses on the track, but for daily life, for the sake of wind, for your own coolness, SL 63 I would recommend!
