Overview of the Mercedes-Benz SL
The Mercedes-Benz SL stands as the German automaker's flagship two-door convertible sportscar available in the Indian market. Designed to combine high-performance capabilities with luxurious open-top cruising, the lineup features two distinct expressions: the performance-focused SL 55 AMG and the ultra-luxurious SL 680 Maybach Monogram Series. Both models are built to offer exhilarating open-air motoring with an electrically operated fabric roof that opens and closes in just 16 seconds.
Engine, Performance and Transmission
Powering the SL lineup is a robust 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system as standard. In the SL 55 AMG trim, the V8 engine churns out 476hp and 700Nm of torque, allowing the sports convertible to accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 295 kph. Meanwhile, the SL 680 Maybach Monogram Series features a higher-tuned version of the V8 powerplant generating 585hp and 800Nm of torque, completing the 0-100 kph sprint in 4.1 seconds up to an electronically limited top speed of 260 kph.
Interior Comfort and Luxury Features
The cabin of the SL 55 AMG offers bespoke customization with black or brown Nappa leather upholstery, contrast stitching options, aluminum or carbon fibre interior trims, and a choice between AMG sports or performance seats. On the other hand, the SL 680 Monogram series adopts a sophisticated two-tone black and white interior theme with matching upholstery. Standard cabin amenities across both variants include an 11.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display, heated, ventilated and powered front seats, the signature airscarf warm-air neck-level heating system, and a premium 17-speaker Burmester sound system.
