2024 Mercedes-Benz SL 63 S E Performance R232 UK Version

The 2024 Mercedes-AMG SL 63 S E Performance is the most powerful SL model to date, delivering 816 hp (600 kW) and 1,420 Nm of torque from its 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine combined with an AMG Electric Drive Unit. This high-performance hybrid roadster accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 317 km/h. Advanced systems like AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with active roll stabilization and rear-axle steering enhance both comfort and dynamic handling.

Hybrid Powertrain: V8 Engine + Electric Motor

The hybrid system includes a 150 kW (204 hp) electric motor mounted on the rear axle, paired with an electrically switched two-speed transmission and a mechanical limited-slip differential. The high-performance battery, positioned above the rear axle, optimizes weight distribution. The electric motor directly powers the rear wheels for improved acceleration and efficiency. When necessary, the AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system distributes power to the front wheels via a mechanical connection.

AMG High-Performance Battery: Formula 1™ Technology

Developed using insights from Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1™, the 6.1 kWh AMG High-Performance battery offers 70 kW of continuous power and a peak output of 150 kW. Designed for rapid energy consumption and regeneration rather than extended electric range, it enables up to 13 km of electric-only driving. A 3.7 kW onboard charger allows for AC charging. Direct cooling ensures each of the 560 battery cells maintains an optimal temperature, preventing performance degradation.

• Includes an active aerodynamic package with adaptive rear spoiler and underbody airflow management.
• Integrates AMG Ride Control suspension with adjustable damping for improved ride quality and cornering.
• Interior features high-resolution displays, performance-focused AMG graphics, and premium materials.
• Comes with multiple driving modes, including an all-electric setting for urban driving.
• Designed to balance high-performance driving with efficiency, using hybrid technology to enhance fuel economy.

Driving Modes & Energy Recuperation

The SL 63 S E Performance offers eight AMG DYNAMIC SELECT driving modes: "Electric," "Battery Hold," "Comfort," "Smoothness," "Sport," "Sport+," "RACE," and "Individual." These adjust the drivetrain, transmission, suspension, and sound characteristics. The hybrid typically starts in silent mode under "Comfort." Four levels of energy recuperation enable braking energy to be converted into battery charge, with the highest setting allowing "one-pedal" driving and over 100 kW of regenerative power.

Design & Aerodynamics

Unique to this model, the rear section features an integrated charging port and red-highlighted badging. The E PERFORMANCE fender badge and trapezoidal twin tailpipes distinguish the hybrid variant. Standard 20-inch multi-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels, finished in matte black with a high-sheen surface, enhance aerodynamics. Customization options include multiple paint choices and the exclusive MANUFAKTUR program.

Aerodynamic enhancements include an adaptive rear spoiler that adjusts in five positions based on speed and driving dynamics. An active underbody element, standard on this model, deploys at 80 km/h, creating a Venturi effect that increases downforce and stability.

Interior: Sporty & Luxurious

The 2+2 seating configuration offers a balance of performance and comfort. Electrically adjustable AMG sports seats provide lateral support, with optional AMG Performance seats featuring integrated headrests and ventilation. Upholstery options include Nappa leather, MICROCUT microfibre, and diamond-quilted MANUFAKTUR finishes. The ENERGIZING Package Plus enhances comfort with ambient lighting and ergonomic adjustments.

The MBUX infotainment system integrates AMG-specific hybrid displays, providing real-time insights into power flow, battery status, and performance metrics. The system is fully customizable, allowing drivers to monitor electric and combustion power output.

Performance & Handling

AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL Suspension

The semi-active AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension replaces conventional stabilizers with hydraulically interconnected dampers, improving ride comfort and precision handling. This system minimizes body roll while offering a broad range of dynamic settings and enhances straight-line stability on uneven road surfaces.

Active Rear-Axle Steering

At speeds below 100 km/h, the rear wheels turn opposite to the front wheels for improved maneuverability. Above 100 km/h, they turn in the same direction, increasing high-speed stability. This feature enhances cornering agility and reduces steering effort.

AMG Ceramic High-Performance Brakes

Fitted with AMG ceramic composite brakes, the system includes 6-piston fixed calipers at the front and 1-piston floating calipers at the rear. The brake discs measure 420 mm (front) and 380 mm (rear), ensuring exceptional stopping power, durability, and reduced unsprung weight.
