The Mercedes-AMG SL series has long been synonymous with open-top driving exhilaration and unparalleled luxury. The upcoming 2025 Mercedes-AMG SL 63 Convertible is poised to continue this legacy, blending breathtaking performance with cutting-edge technology and iconic design. This roadster isn’t just a car; it’s a statement of automotive passion and engineering excellence.
Under the hood of the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 Convertible lies a handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine, a powerhouse delivering a staggering 577 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. This immense power translates to breathtaking acceleration, launching the AMG SL 63 Convertible from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.5 seconds. The roar of the V8, combined with the wind in your hair, provides an unmatched sensory driving experience. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 9-speed automatic transmission ensures seamless power delivery and lightning-fast gear changes, whether you’re cruising down the highway or carving through winding roads.
Beyond raw power, the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 Convertible boasts impressive dimensions that contribute to its athletic stance and comfortable interior. With a wheelbase of 106.3 inches and an overall length of 185.2 inches, it strikes a perfect balance between agility and presence. The width, at 75.4 inches without mirrors and 82.7 inches with mirrors, provides a confident stance on the road. Despite its powerful performance, the AMG SL 63 Convertible maintains a reasonable curb weight of 4,321 lbs, contributing to its nimble handling.
Inside, the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 Convertible offers a luxurious and technologically advanced cabin. Seating for up to four passengers provides versatility, while premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship are evident throughout. Front passengers enjoy generous headroom of 37.7 inches and legroom of 41.5 inches, along with 56.3 inches of shoulder room. Even rear passengers are considered with 32.7 inches of headroom and 44.1 inches of shoulder room. The cargo capacity of 7.5 cu ft is practical for a convertible, allowing for luggage on weekend getaways.
The Mercedes-AMG SL 63 Convertible is not just about straight-line speed; it’s engineered for dynamic handling. The 4-wheel independent suspension with AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL ensures exceptional road holding and a comfortable ride. The rack-and-pinion steering with electromechanical power assist and 2.5-degree rear-axle steering provides precise control and enhanced maneuverability, with a turning circle of 40.7 ft. Stopping power is equally impressive, with performance brakes designed to handle spirited driving. The 20-inch AMG® twin 5-spoke wheels, fitted with summer high-performance tires, complete the performance-focused package.
While official fuel economy figures are still being finalized (TBA for coefficient of drag), preliminary estimates suggest 13 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway. The fuel tank capacity of 18.5 gallons ensures a decent range for enjoyable drives.
For those seeking to personalize their Mercedes-AMG SL 63 Convertible, a range of optional packages are available. The MANUFAKTUR Signature Interior Package elevates the cabin with exquisite Nappa leather upholstery, high-pile floor mats, and illuminated door sills. The Performance Trim adds a front-axle lift system for enhanced practicality, while the Driver Assistance Package provides a suite of advanced safety and convenience features like Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and Active Lane Keeping Assist.
