Following the 470 hp SL55 4Matic+ and 577 hp SL63 4Matic+ models introduced last year, Mercedes-AMG has lifted the veil on the entry-level SL43 model, which stands out with its features. The SL, which previously appeared with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, has a very different power unit this time.
Nearly 60 years later, an SL model will once again house the four-cylinder engine. The new Mercedes-AMG SL43 with a 2.0-liter power unit also includes Formula 1 technology.
Engine features are dazzling! Here is the 2.0-liter unit of the Mercedes-AMG SL43
SL 43, with 380 horsepower and 480 Nm torque. In addition, the power unit can gain an additional 14 horsepower from the electric starter for a short time.
Mercedes-AMG SL43, 9-speed The MCT transfers its power to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission. Completing the 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4.9 seconds, the vehicle’s top speed was announced as 275 km/h. Another remarkable detail is that the average fuel consumption of the new sports car is below 9 liters.
Mercedes-AMG’s most underlined issue in its new model is the electric turbo system of the engine. Powered by a 48 V electrical system, this turbo adds to the SL43’s power. In addition, the system, which works like a semi-hybrid, also provides energy recovery.
The German brand is working on a rechargeable hybrid version of the SL model, as well as the SL43. Equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 and electric motor, the system currently powers the AMG GT 63 E Performance. We can see the power unit, which can produce 842 horsepower and 1,400 Nm of torque, in the SL soon.
