Looks like it’s the “AMG facelift” weekend as following yesterday’s pictures of the 2009 CLS 63 AMG (click here), here’s the first official photo of the revised SL AMG models. As with the CLS, the facelift concerns all the range but we’ll have to wait a couple of days to get all the details and pictures.
In concern of the facelifted SL AMG models and apart from the new rear bumper and diffuser, Mercedes has replaced the SL 55 AMG with the SL 63 AMG which gets a larger, naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 engine delivering 525 HP and 630 Nm of torque (SL 55 AMG: 5.5-liter supercharged V8 with 517 HP and 720 Nm of torque). The new SL 63 AMG sprints from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4,7 sec, meaning that it’s 0,2 sec slower than the outgoing SL 55 AMG. -Continued after the jump
There are no changes in the top-of-the-line SL 65 AMG which continues to use the 6.0-liter supercharged V8 that has an output of 612 HP and a monstrous maximum torque of 1,000 Nm. The SL 65 AMG goes from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.2 sec.
