2024 Mercedes-AMG SL63 review: Is the new roadster better than Porsche 911 GTS or BMW M8?



The 2024 Mercedes-AMG SL63 represents a significant shift for the German brand. No, it’s not an electric car. Instead, it’s more about what it isn’t: a Benz. That’s right; the next-generation roadster falls exclusively under the high-performance AMG banner.

Previously, the SL series was Mercedes-Benz through and through, but not anymore, as the new SL63 is effectively the successor to AMG’s recently discontinued GT Roadster. What does that actually mean? Well, take a look under the bonnet.

In this expert review, Deputy Editor James Cleary does exactly that when he takes the SL63 and its 430kW/800Nm 4.0-litre twin-turbo petrol V8 engine for a spin to find out if it is faithful to the SL formula while adding a proper AMG twist.

  1. Nice proportions and amazing sound. Praise the heavens they didn't see fit to install a 4 cylinder hybrid system in it as they have with the C63 (that is also a lot heavier than this beauty as a result). Kind of wish that screen in the middle was not there, or could retract away when you didn't want it there.
