Breaking new ground in the world with its electric exhaust gas turbo feeding features transferred from Formula 1. Mercedes-AMG SL 43 and SL 63 4MATIC+ models entered the Turkish market. The new generation turbo offers instant throttle response throughout the entire rev band, increasing efficiency and providing a more dynamic driving experience.
In addition to this technology used by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, the SL 43 and SL 63 4MATIC+ models stand out with their rich standard equipment. With the AMG Aerodynamics Package, which increases both dynamics and efficiency, airflow is directed according to demand and aerodynamic performance is improved.
The electric sunroof reduces weight by 21 kilograms on the new SLs, offering a lower center of gravity. In the interior, there are luxury seats and a hyperanalog cockpit that brings the analog and digital worlds together.
Thanks to the AMG high-performance composite braking system, while the braking distance is shortened, controlled deceleration is possible. Rear axle steering, which is standard in both cars, also provides a more balanced and agile driving experience.

The lightweight aluminum composite chassis consists of a self-supporting aluminum space-frame skeleton. The design provides maximum rigidity while providing the perfect basis for superior driving dynamics, high comfort and sporty body proportions. The aim of the body architecture is to meet high standards of superior comfort and safety while delivering AMG Driving Performance by focusing on lateral and vertical dynamics.
With the advanced materials used, low weight and high rigidity level are achieved. For example, composite materials such as aluminum, magnesium and fiber are used in the windshield frame. With this high level of rigidity, the rear roll bars that open at lightning speed offer enhanced protection.
New entry-level version with elegant exterior design details
