The seventh-gen SL has grown, but there’s room for improvement.
The new SL63's all-wheel drive and thundering twin-turbo V-8 make for smashing off-the-line performance, as expected, and that's a strong selling point to a lot of people. When it comes to cornering quickly, however, we discovered a bit of a disjointed personality.
As technical director Frank Markus noted, you need to deactivate stability control—something not everyone is comfortable with in the real world—to access the Master dynamics mode before the car comes alive."Suddenly it was willing to play," he said of the rear end that was now happy to rotate and slide."But the performance in this vehicle is not as accessible as it is in many of the other most fun cars out here.
That's a shame, as the engine and transmission are otherwise highlights of the SL63 package. Considering how new the seventh-gen SL is, we're optimistic Mercedes and AMG have plenty of unexplored bandwidth to improve it as a performance car that offers a broader envelope of dynamic satisfaction.
