— October 28, 2021 — Autos
Luxury german automotive brand Mercedes has unveiled the Mercedes-AMG 2022 SL, adding a new powerful model to its long lineage of premium SL vehicles.

The new car is delivered in a clean-sheet design that differentiates it substantially from Mercede's other recently launched vehicles. In addition, unlike past SLs, the Mercedes-AMG 2022 comes with a soft fabric top instead of the classic retractable hardtop. Also, the car comes equipped with a new chassis made from aluminum, steel, and magnesium.

In terms of power, the new vehicle boasts a double V8 SL63 engine capable of generating a whopping 577 horsepower. The robust motor can take drivers from 0-60 miles per hour in as little as 3.6 seconds while allowing for top speeds of 195 miles per hour.
