Introduced today with much fanfare, the SL is all-new for 2022 and ready to take on the convertible versions of the BMW 8 Series and Porsche 911. Developed exclusively by Mercedes’ performance division AMG, the next-generation Sport Liecht features quite a few firsts in the model’s history, which goes all the way back to the 1950s.<\/p>\n
It’s the first SL to feature all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering, but more importantly, the revamped sports cabrio is going to receive a hybrid powertrain. However, it won’t be available at launch next year as AMG initially plans to sell the overhauled roadster exclusively with a pure gasoline engine, namely a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8.<\/p>\n
It produces 469 horsepower (350 kilowatts) and 516 pound-feet (700 Newton-meters) in the AMG SL 55 and 577 hp (430 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) in the AMG SL 63. It seems highly probable the very same V8 engine will be at a core of a plug-in hybrid powertrain, working together with an electric motor we’re expecting to be mounted at the rear.<\/p>\n
