Mercedes-Benz upgraded its now-legendary top-end roadsters for 2009 by giving the previous model a substantial facelift designed to reflect the German automaker's current design philosophy. Mercedes replaces the entry-level AMG-modified roadster, the SL 55, with a more powerful, larger-displacement SL 63. That '63' denotes the AMG-designed 6.3 liter V8 now under the hood. This motor, the first designed in-house by AMG, puts out 525 horsepower, a 10 horsepower bump from the outgoing SL 55. Torque, however, is down to 465 lb-ft. from 531. The new, naturally aspirated V8 replaces a supercharged 5.5-liter V8. The 6.3 liter, 32-vale V8 revs up to 7,000 RPM, though AMG claims that 90 percent of peak torque can be found at just 2,000 RPM. The interior is mildly revised, highlighted by a new three-spoke steering wheel and new instruments. The SLK's Airscarf system migrates over to the smaller roadster's big brother. | |||||

The First Engine Developed From the Ground Up by AMG The SL63 AMG is powered by an AMG 6.2-liter V8 engine that features four valves per cylinder, variable valve timing, bucket tappets (rather than rocker arms) and a variable intake manifold. Sharing no parts with Mercedes-Benz V8 engines, the 6.3-liter engine was a completely autonomous development at AMG. Built almost completely from a high-strength silicon-aluminum alloy, the cylinder bores make use of a twin-wire-arc-sprayed (TWAS) coating, a process that results in impressively low friction and running surfaces that are twice as hard as conventional cast-iron cylinders | ||||
