Curator’s note

The first SL developed entirely by AMG, with a fabric roof and all-wheel drive.

The R232 SL was developed by AMG in Affalterbach and returned the famous roadster to a fabric roof and 2+2 seating. The SL 63 pairs a 585 PS V8 with all-wheel drive for the first time in an SL.

The story

Mercedes-AMG SL

Mercedes-AMG revealed the seventh-generation SL in October 2021. It was the first SL developed entirely by AMG, on a new aluminium composite structure.

The folding metal roof of recent SLs gave way to a lighter fabric roof, and small rear seats returned. The SL 63 is the first SL to drive all four wheels.
