When brutal power, elegance and superior engineering meet, the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 SE Performance is created. We present the most powerful convertible that Mercedes has ever produced.

The SL was born as the 300 SL, a racing car in 1952 that grew into a road version known for its distinctive gullwing doors​​​​ After a series of evolutions, including the 190 SL and the 230 SL, which earned the nickname "pagoda top", the SL became increasingly luxurious and advanced over the decades. The SL received the first V8 engines in 1971, and the R129, introduced in 1989, was the first with a fully automatic soft top and the option of a V12 engine​​. The five generations of the SL, which continued with the R230 series in 2001, brought many innovations and improvements, maintaining the characteristic elegance and prestige of the brand.​​ Now let's travel to the future with the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 SE Performance model.

The Mercedes-AMG SL 63 SE Performance brings a 4.0-liter V8 engine with 603 hp and 850 Nm of torque, which is complemented by a 200 hp powerful electric motor, together creating 804 hp and an earth-shaking 1,420 Nm of torque​​.

Imagine: green traffic light, foot on the gas and v 2.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h – this is the SL 63 SE Performance. And if you find a long enough stretch of freeway, it can reach a top finish speed 317 km/h. All this supported by a hybrid system that includes a 6.1 kWh battery with a range of 13 km​​.


For easier charging at home, 3 is available.7 kW AC charger. In addition, the new E Performance features design changes such as 20-inch (front) and 21-inch (rear) wheels, massive carbon-ceramic brakes and aerodynamic enhancements such as a carbon splitter and “ducktail” spoiler​​.

The SL 63 SE Performance is more than just a car, it makes a statement. With enough power to “blow your wigs off” in the midst of a mid-life crisis, this hybrid convertible pushes all boundaries and sets new standards for luxury sports cars.​​

The Mercedes-AMG SL 63 SE Performance is placed in the luxury sports car segment, where it faces models such as the Porsche 911 Turbo, BMW 8 Series Convertible and Audi R8 Spyder. These models offer a similar blend of luxury, performance and technological innovation, but the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 SE Performance stands out with its unique combination of hybrid power and iconic heritage.
