Feature Highlights
Handcrafted AMG 2.0L inline-4 turbo with hybrid assist
<p>The first "43" engine handcrafted in the AMG "One man, one engine" tradition applies technology from Formula 1® racing to advance performance with efficiency. A pioneering electric exhaust-gas turbocharger and belt-driven Starter-Generator team with advanced fuel injection, friction reduction and multi-level engine cooling. The impressive result is 416 hp, 369 lb-ft of torque, and 0-60 in 4.6 seconds from a compact, lightweight and decidedly modern 2.0L 4-cylinder engine.</p>
Electric exhaust-gas turbocharger
<p>A series production first, the SL 43's electric exhaust-gas turbocharger is derived from the race-winning technology of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1® team. A thin 48-volt electric motor, integrated directly on the shaft between the turbine and compressor wheels, can accelerate the compressor before the exhaust-gas flow takes over. The innovative 175,000-peak-rpm turbo helps maintain boost pressure and improve engine response from idle to high rpm, even when the driver lifts off the gas.</p>
Z-fold power soft top
<p>In keeping with the SL's sportier direction, a finely tailored 3-layer acoustic soft top is nearly 50 lbs lighter than the previous model's retractable hardtop. At driving speeds up to 37 mph, the top powers up or down in via its own switch panel or the central touchscreen, which animates the 15-second process. The clever Z-fold design lets the lowered top form its own flush rear deck, further saving the weight, complexity and visible seams of a conventional cover.</p>
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
<p>A Mercedes-Benz innovation, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC® cruise control uses radar-based technology to adapt your set speed in response to the flow of traffic ahead. If traffic slows down, it can reduce your speed automatically until your path clears. If the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, it can brake to a full halt. When traffic moves, you can resume with just a tap of the accelerator or cruise control resume button, or it can resume automatically if the stop is under three seconds.</p>
3rd Generation Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX)
<p>The Mercedes-Benz User Experience is a breakthrough in automobile cockpit control that keeps advancing. MBUX integrates digital displays including a touchscreen, touch-sensitive controls, and an intuitive, intelligent voice control system that can respond to your natural voice, learn your habits, and grow smarter over time. In the SL, 3rd-gen MBUX features a fast, powerful single processor, simplified icons more like smartphone tiles, and a range of new capabilities.</p>
