The new Mercedes-AMG SL 43 Highlights

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 a fabric top, an in-line four-cylinder petrol engine with a displacement of two liters provides the befitting propulsion. For the first time in the world, an electric exhaust gas turbocharger is used in a production vehicle. This technology comes from Formula 1™. The system used in the SL 43 is a direct derivative of the development used successfully by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team for many years in the premier class of motorsport. The new form of charging guarantees particularly spontaneous response across the entire engine speed range, thus 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 (BSG). As a result, the Mercedes-AMG SL 43 has an output of 280 kW (381 hp) and a maximum torque of 480 Nm. In certain driving situations, there is also an additional short-term boost of 10 kW (14 hp) from the RSG. The new entry-level model in the SL family also shines with extensive standard equipment. In addition, numerous comfort and safety-enhancing options offer a wide range of customization options
