2023 Mercedes-AMG SL43 review
The 2023 Mercedes-AMG SL43 is the latest iteration of the iconic SL roadster, and it does not disappoint. The SL43 is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that delivers 385 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and a rear-biased all-wheel drive system. The result is a smooth and exhilarating ride that can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 155 mph.
The SL43 also boasts a stunning design that combines elegance and sportiness. The new model features a retractable hardtop roof that can be opened or closed in less than 20 seconds, a sleek front grille with the AMG logo, LED headlights and taillights, and 19-inch alloy wheels. The interior is equally luxurious, with leather seats, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a Burmester surround sound system. The SL43 also offers a range of advanced safety and driver assistance features, such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, blind spot assist, and rear cross traffic alert.
The 2023 Mercedes-AMG SL43 is not only a powerful and stylish roadster, but also a versatile and comfortable one. The SL43 has a spacious trunk that can accommodate up to 13.5 cubic feet of cargo with the roof up, or 8.5 cubic feet with the roof down. The SL43 also has a four-seat configuration, with two rear seats that can fold down to create more space. The SL43 is also equipped with an adaptive suspension system that can adjust the ride height and damping according to the driving mode and road conditions.
The 2023 Mercedes-AMG SL43 is expected to hit the market in the spring of 2023, with a starting price of around $100,000. The SL43 is a worthy successor to the legendary SL legacy, and a must-have for any roadster enthusiast.
