Mercedes-AMG SL 43 Roadster Trailer

Following the two V8-engined variants, Mercedes-AMG presents the SL 43, a technically innovative entry-level model of the newly developed roadster icon. Under the hood of the open 2+2-seater with soft top, an inline four-cylinder gasoline engine with two liters of displacement provides propulsion in keeping with its status. For the first time in the world in a production vehicle, an electric exhaust gas turbocharger is used. This technology originates from Formula 1™. The system used in the SL 43 is a direct derivative of the development successfully used by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team for many years in the premier class of motorsport. The new form of turbocharging guarantees particularly spontaneous response across the entire rev range, thereby offering an even more dynamic driving experience and at the same time increasing efficiency. The turbocharger is operated via the 48-volt electrical system, which also feeds the belt-driven starter generator (RSG). As a result, the Mercedes-AMG SL 43 has an output of 280 kW (381 hp) and a maximum torque of 480 Nm. Added to this is an additional short-term boost of 10 kW (14 hp) from the RSG in certain driving situations. The new entry-level model in the SL family also boasts extensive standard equipment. In addition, numerous comfort- and safety-enhancing options offer a wide range of possibilities for individualization.
