Mercedes-AMG SL 63 Motorsport Collectors Edition Debuts With F1 Inspiration
Mercedes made only 100 roadsters, each with an indoor car cover made from a synthetic fabric that won’t tear. The cover also boasts an anti-static woven flannel lining on the inside to protect the vehicle from scratches and dust.
The SL 63 Motorsport Collectors Edition is all show without any extra go, so it uses the same twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, which makes 585 horsepower (430 kilowatts) and 800 Newton-meters (590 pound-feet) of torque. It's enough AMG muscle for 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 196 mph (315 km/h).
Discover the Excellence and Innovation of Mercedes-AMG
Founded in 1967 by Hans-Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher, Mercedes-AMG started as an independent company specializing in the development of racing vehicles.
The name "AMG" comes from the initials of the founders and Aufrecht's hometown, Großaspach. The first major success came in 1971, when an AMG Mercedes 300 SEL 6.9 won its class at the 24 Hours of Spa, finishing second overall.
In the 1980s, AMG began collaborating closely with Mercedes-Benz, leading to the creation of iconic models like the AMG 500SEC. This partnership became official in 1999 when Mercedes-Benz acquired a majority stake in AMG, establishing it as its official high-performance division.
Today, Mercedes-AMG offers a lineup of over 50 models, ranging from 367 hp to 630 hp, including sedans, coupés, SUVs, and roadsters. The brand represents exclusivity, exceptional performance, and innovation.
