Engine: Handcrafted 4.0L V8 Biturbo
The SL 55 is powered by the legendary M177 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine. Hand-assembled under the "One Man, One Engine" philosophy, it produces 469 hp (476 PS) and 700 Nm of torque. The "Hot Inside V" turbocharger configuration ensures exceptionally sharp throttle response and a compact engine footprint, while NANOSLIDE cylinder wall technology reduces friction for improved efficiency.
Acceleration and Speed: 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds
The SL 55 balances brutal power with grand touring elegance, sprinting from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 295 km/h. To optimize performance across all environments, the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT system offers six programs: "Slippery," "Comfort," "Sport," "Sport+," "Individual," and "RACE" (included with the AMG DYNAMIC PLUS package).
