Mercedes-AMG SL 43 Unveiled In Malaysia For RM1 Million
New Mercedes-AMG SL 43, A Sportier and Luxurious Roadster Icon
Mercedes-Benz is proud to introduce the highly anticipated Mercedes-AMG SL 43, a revitalized version of their renowned roadster icon. With enhanced sportiness, increased luxury, and irresistible allure, the new Mercedes-AMG SL sets a new milestone in the model’s illustrious history.
Combining the original SL’s distinctive sporty character with the unparalleled luxury and technological excellence of modern Mercedes-AMG vehicles, this roadster represents the epitome of automotive excellence.
As the series’ entry-level model, the SL 43 showcases ground-breaking technology, making it a standout in its class. It boasts the world’s first production vehicle application of an electric exhaust gas turbocharger, derived directly from Formula 1™.
This innovative technology addresses the traditional trade-off between a small, highly responsive supercharger with limited peak power and a larger supercharger that provides greater peak power but with delayed response.
The Mercedes-AMG SL 43 exudes a captivating presence with its striking front end featuring an AMG-specific radiator grille, signalling its performance-oriented aspirations. Every angle showcases the vehicle’s impressive design language, with elegant details such as flush-fitting door handles seamlessly blending into the overall aesthetic.
Key elements like the long wheelbase, short overhangs, extended bonnet, rear-set passenger compartment with a steeply raked windscreen, and a powerful rear end exemplify the classic SL proportions. The three-layer fabric soft top in black can be effortlessly opened or closed in just 15 seconds, even while driving at speeds of up to 60 km/h.
Step inside the Mercedes-AMG SL 43, and you’ll find an interior that harmoniously combines analog geometry with digital innovation, creating a concept known as “hyper-analogue.” The fully digital instrument cluster seamlessly integrates into a three-dimensional visor, providing a visually stunning experience.
The Mercedes-AMG SL 43 comes loaded with advanced features to elevate the driving experience. It includes a head-up display, an AMG Performance steering wheel in nappa leather with intuitive buttons, electrically adjustable luxury seats in NAPPA leather, AMG aluminum trim, and the MBUX augmented reality for navigation. Additionally, multi-contour and climatized front seats ensure maximum comfort during every journey.
Equipped with a newly developed chassis, the SL 43 boasts a multi-link front axle, a first for Mercedes-AMG production vehicles. This innovative design, with five links entirely within the rim, significantly enhances kinematics, delivering enhanced precision and handling. The rear axle also features a 5-link design for optimal wheel control and stability.
The Mercedes-AMG SL 43 offers an extensive range of standard equipment, allowing customers to personalize their roadster according to their unique preferences.
With twelve paint finishes to choose from, including exclusive options like hyper blue metallic and MANUFAKTUR monza grey magno, drivers can create a look that perfectly suits their style.
