Not long after its premiere at the 2015 LA Auto Show, the revamped SL has been priced in Germany.
The facelifted roadster starts from €99,097.25 ($108,118) in its home market in entry-level SL 400 form that’s powered by a 3.0-liter V6 producing 367PS (362hp) and 500Nm (369lb-ft) of torque.
The SL 500 costs €122,897.25 ($134,084) with its 4.7-liter V8 and 455PS (449hp) and 700Nm (516lb-ft), while the cheapest AMG, the SL 63, starts from €161,691.25 ($176,410) and justifies its badge with a 5.5-liter V8 rated at 585PS (577hp) and 900Nm (664lb-ft).
The most powerful version of tMerc’s luxury open-top is the SL 65 AMG. Under its hood there’s a 6.0-liter V12 that can mix it with supercars thanks to its 630PS (621hp) and 1,000Nm (738lb-ft) of torque. From naught to 100 it needs 4.0sec but top speed is electronically limited, as in all versions, to 250km/h (155mph). It will set you back €239,933.75 ($261,775), though.
Mercedes-Benz has fitted a curve titling function, which, in combination with the Active Body Control (ABC) suspension, “tangibly reduces the lateral acceleration acting on the occupants” and is a €3,510.50 ($3,830) option. It can be adjusted using the Dynamic Select (Curve) up to 2.65 degrees and at speeds between 15 and 180km/h (9-112 mph).
The Driving Assistance Package Plus is another extra, priced at €2,677.50 ($2,920). It consists of a stereo camera, Distance Pilot Distronic with Steering Pilot, Active Brake Assistant with cross-traffic function, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist and Pre-Safe Plus.
Finally, Merc has announced that sales across Europe will commence in April.
