Overview

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG SL 63 convertible makes for an excellent contender in the compact convertible class. With a single trim on offer, the Mercedes-Benz AMG SL 63 convertible has a base MSRP of $152,850 and competes directly with the Jaguar F-Type SVR Convertible, the Porsche 911 Turbo Convertible, and the BMW M8 Convertible. Only a 5.5L twin-turbocharged V8 engine is offered, mated to a 7-Speed Automatic transmission. Together, they produce 577 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.0 seconds, the AMG SL 63 convertible maintains a combined fuel economy of 19 MPG. Mercedes-Benz offers the AMG SL 63 convertible in 11 stunning colors, with the Selenite Gray Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

Powered with a characterful engine, the 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG SL 63 is fast, furious, and luxurious. This beauty can be had for an MSRP of $152,850 but is offered as a standalone trim. It offers nearly all the features as standard features but if you're looking for personalization, there are a few optional features and packages available for improving its overall aesthetics.
