Mercedes-AMG SL 43 Roadster Trailer

Following the two variants with V8 engines, 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 employed by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team for many years in the premier class of motorsport. The new form of turbocharging guarantees a 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.
