The Mercedes-Benz AMG SL 65 Convertible starts off at an MSRP of $214,500, It is offered with a 6.0L twin-turbocharged V12 engine and a 7-speed automatic transmission, producing 621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque.

Buying Advice

The SL 65 AMG is the most astonishing and lively convertible from the Merc’s AMG line-up. With just a standalone trim on offer, we prefer the optional Carbon ceramic brakes over the standard one for better performance both on roads and tracks.
