The SL-Class is a series inspired by racing heritage and known for its history of being a beautiful Teutonic sports car that lets you feel the wind in your hair while enjoying Mercedes-Benz's signature luxury. The model has seen many generations, this specific model being from the latter half of the fifth. The SL 63 AMG received some backlash when it was first introduced, as its weight, going over two tons, was nowhere near what regular sports car territory was. What people forgot was that this was still a Mercedes-Benz, and anyone in doubt was proven wrong once they spent a little bit of time behind the wheel of a perfect example of German engineering. This 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG is currently up for sale with a few modifications that make it competitive even within modern standards.
In 2008, the fifth-generation SL 63 saw a significant facelift. The car was more aggressive, with the peanut-shaped headlights replaced with sleeker, modernized ones. The new SL 63 AMG had much more street presence, and "light-weight" sports car fanatics were getting increasingly worried. This 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG has a beautiful silver exterior, a hardtop that folds in automatically in around 16 seconds, and large five-spoke wheels. Along the side, the facelifted SL 63 shows off its revised air gills and 6.3L badge. Inside, this 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG really shows off its luxurious side. Unlike most other sports cars, Mercedes-Benz decided to stick to what they do best: to offer an absolute driving experience. Remember we mentioned that this car is rather chunky for its segment? There is a reason for that. Upon entering the cockpit draped in plush black leather, you start to see why people daily the SL 63 AMG. First, there are the leather-clad seats, adjustable to fit almost any type of driver, and heating in case your neck gets cold while the top's down. The SL 63 also came with a sophisticated infotainment system with sat-nav, revolutionary during its prime.
Of course, no sports car would be worth its existence if it couldn't drive like one. The 2009 Mercedes-Benz in question summons its power from a 6.2L V8 engine that, when stock, produced 518 horses and around 464lb-ft of torque. This specific engine has had an ECU ME tune combined with long tube headers and a high-flow air filter to make up to 600hp.
Dating back to 1954, the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is one of the German automaker’s oldest and longest-running nameplates. It is a grand tourer, or personal luxury car and it represents one of the most exclusive and luxurious ways to experience Mercedes-Benz’s true capabilities as a top-tier automaker. Along the way, the SL has come with removable hardtops, folding metal roofs, and the current-era model uses a powered soft top that’s said to be as refined as a hardtop. However, if you want something a bit older but still relatively modern, we’d recommend opting for the R230 era. Made between 2002 and 2011, the car was styled by the legendary Bruno Sacco and comes with a power-retractable hard top. That, and a stonking great V8 is what you get with this 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. With 47,800 miles to its name, this car has got a relatively low mileage for its age, making it a great buy.
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG, a descent from the legendary 300 SL, is a totem of German engineering. It presents itself as the perfect roadster to take out on the weekends with its snarling 5.5-liter V8 engine and AMG high-performance compound brakes. The car's driving dynamics demonstrate amazing balance on both ends without compromising on the illustrious Mercedes-Benz ride quality. This model is the last of the sixth generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class before it received its face-lift in 2017, making it a unique and rare sight. Clocking under 19,000 miles, this SL63 AMG is awaiting a new owner.
Since its inception in 1954, the SL has remained the flagship grand tourer of Mercedes-Benz. The latest R232 generation represents the pinnacle of this legacy and has been elevated to the coveted status of a Mercedes-AMG product. Nevertheless, the lineage of this esteemed vehicle is also marked by a plethora of special editions, including the R230 which we present to you today. This 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG IWC Edition, of which only 63 have been reported to have made their way to the United States, is an exceptional example of this tradition. With a production run limited to a mere 200 units worldwide, the chance to acquire such a rare and extraordinary vehicle is an opportunity that will not endure indefinitely. Whether you are a devotee of IWC (International Watch Corporation) or a connoisseur of luxury grand tourers, this car represents a unique fusion of these two worlds.
Arguably the most popular Mercedes-Benz model in the United States during the Seventies and Eighties, The R107 era of their SL-Class grand tourer saw over 204,000 units find homes. This was during an 18-year production run that spanned 1971 to 1989. Impressive as the figure may be for a luxury car, it’s even more admirable when you consider that just over 300,000 were made in total! In fact, more R107 SLs found homes Stateside than they did in Germany or anywhere else in the world. Today, there’s no shortage of fine examples, thanks to the car’s superb Mercedes-Benz build quality. Hence, this Texas-based 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a rather sensible purchase to make, even if you have no idea about classic cars. With its 5.6-liter V8, 4-speed automatic gearbox and aftermarket Kenwood stereo unit, it’s a sound choice. Don’t worry about the 142,000 miles on the odometer, these cars are built to go the distance if maintained well.
In 1971, Mercedes-Benz revealed the R107 generation of their popular SL-Class luxury grand tourer. It took over from the W113 ‘Pagoda’ which defined Sixties Mercedes-Benz two-door cars in Europe and North America. The R107 brought new design, updated engineering, and a removable hardtop as key features. It would be made until 1989, with 300,175 units produced during this time. Interestingly, over 204,000 of those units came to the United States, representing a 68% share of total production! Now, you can still find many of these cars running happily, because they were built during a time when planned obsolescence wasn’t even conceived of. That’s why they are the perfect starter classic, even for a younger person. Today’s 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL comes from Boulder and has a low 31,000 miles on the clock. With its 4.5-liter fuel-injected V8 and 3-speed automatic gearbox it’s already ticking the right boxes for a classic car. Add the Becker Mexico cassette stereo into the mix, and you’ve got a winner!
