A peek inside the 2022 Mercedes-AMG SL

Mercedes plans to break all its previous records with the launch of the next-gen SL roadster. Currently, the model is going through its final winter testing in Sweden and will probably hit the market by 2021’s end. After flaunting its signature retractable hardtop for the past two decades, Mercedes has switched to a fabric top again with this lineup. With the fabric top, the company aims to get a smooth roofline and a lower back end.

To enhance the aerodynamics of the AMG-SL model, Mercedes has taken inspiration from its AMG-GT model. Just like the AMG-GT, the SL model will also flaunt a large electrically raised rear spoiler, which would help in reducing the air drag. However, one thing’s for sure; the SL model would have a better body and seating arrangement than the AMG-GT. It would have enough space for two rear seats and will possess a strong body.

Even though Mercedes hasn’t disclosed anything about the powertrains, we think the SL class will highlight the AMG-SL 43 and 53 models with an inline-six engine that could generate power up to 360 and 430hp.

It might also launch an AMG-SL 63 model with a 600hp 4.0-liter V-8 engine. Most probably, an AMG-SL 73e would also join the lineup, but it would be slightly different. It will have a hybrid plugin-drivetrain with a power generation capacity of up to 800hp. Moreover, the 43, 53, and 63 models would come with a 9-speed automatic gearbox and an all-wheel-drive system.

The main competitors of the 2022 AMG-SL model are the Lexus LC500 convertible, BMW 8-series Cabriolet, and Porsche 911 Cabriolet. Since every SL would be an AMG, it would come under the supervision of the Affalterbach division.

Updates about the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class

On February 23, 2021, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the fifth generation of the new C-Class in a digital world premiere. Photos reveal that the C-Class shares resemblance with the S-Class but has a sharper front look.

The vehicle has four-cylinder petrol and diesel engine with a 48v mild-hybrid system. As per reports, the sticker price for the C300 Sedan is $41,600. However, if you’re entering a Mercedes dealership, to buy the C300 Sedan, you must carry around $50,000 because options like AWD have a higher range.
