THE PERFORMANCE

Raw Hybrid Power: 805 hp and Instant Acceleration

The SL 63 S E Performance marries a twin‑turbo V8 with an electric rear motor to produce a combined 805 horsepower and 1,047 lb‑ft of torque, sprinting from 0–60 mph in 2.8 seconds — head‑turning speed in an open‑top package.

THE DESIGN

Convertible Elegance and Active Aerodynamics

Designo Diamond White soft top complements sculpted AMG lines; AIRPANEL active front louvers, adaptive aero elements, and a multistage active rear spoiler work together to refine airflow while a retractable soft top delivers true open‑air motoring.

THE LUXURY

Handcrafted Interior Meets Cutting‑Edge Tech

Four‑seat luxury with MANUFAKTUR Nappa leather, multicontour heated/ventilated seats, an AMG Performance steering wheel, and MBUX infotainment; AMG DYNAMIC SELECT offers six driving modes and carbon‑ceramic brakes with bronze calipers provide stopping authority.

Drop the soft top, choose Comfort for a relaxed lakeshore roll or RACE for track‑sharp responses via AMG DYNAMIC SELECT, and let the hybrid drive system translate explosive torque into immediate, open‑air thrust.
