The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG has a different look than the SL55 AMG that it replaces. The car has gone through exterior styling changes to make the vehicle look more contemporary. It adds front and side skirts, and features standard 19-inch wheels. There have also been revisions to the interior. There is an iPod interface, Bluetooth hookup, and AMG shift lever, gauge cluster and steering wheel.
The real change in this model, however, is under the hood. Mercedes has replaced the torque converter with a multiplate wet clutch and merged it with its seven-speed planetary gearset. What this does is give the 2009 SL63 AMG the feel of an automated manual gearbox.
These changes help make the 2009 SL63 AMG fit both into the luxury category and the sports car category. The amazing V-8 engine under the hood helps the 2009 SL63 AMG hit 60 miles per hour in just over 4 seconds, and hit a top speed of around 155 miles an hour. It also features reliable steering controls and excellent stability control. If you want superior performance, you can opt for the Performance package which has bigger front brake rotors, a torque-sensing limited-slip differential, and aggressive tuning of the active body control suspension system.
If you’re looking for the perfect mix of comfort, style and performance, consider the 2009 Mercedes SL63 AMG.
