LIGHTIER , MORE POWERFUL AND QUICKER.
Mercedes Benz SL-550 :

Adding power was the easy part .

• The SL-550, which will be the first of the updated Sls to go on sale, will be powered by new mercedes new 4.7 liter twin-turbo V8 engine.
• The direct injected engine makes the same numbers here as it does in the CL-550:429 hp at 5250rpm,516 lb - ft at 1800.
• Those figures represent increases 47hp and 125lb-ft compared to the outgoing Sl's - 550, 5.5litre V-8 .
•  The engine is backed by a seven speed automatic transmission and now gets standard start/stop functionality.
• Mercedes predicts 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds.
• 0.8 better than its claim for the last SL550.
• Although runs that begins with the engine off will take a few extra tenths.

•  Since company's estimates are generally conservative - we hit 60 in 4.8 seconds with a 2011 SL550.
• Figure on something closure to four seconds flat.
• And then realize that's as quick as outgoing SL63.
• Some of this is new found quickness will be thanks in no small part to a reduction in weight.
• The 2013 Sl550 uses the company's first all aluminium body in a series production model.
• The SL will switch to electrical power steering .
• Which should improve efficiency while hopefully retaining some semblence of feedback.
• All of this weight loss is despite a dimensional gain.
• The 2013 car is 1.4 inches long , 2.2 inches wider and rides on a 1-inch longer wheel base .
• Front and rear track are also increased .
• Mercedes says that this all helps create a larger cabin.
• We had no complaints about the interior cabin.
• The wrapper ofcourse is equally new .
• The front end styling recalls that of early Sls with an upright , Single bar grille and large three pointed star.
• Nods to modernity include LED elements for some lighting functions.
• And matte paint will be an option.
•  The interior sees and is seen with ambient lighting.
• There  is a neat script mercedes benz logo on the steering wheel and the circular airvents match those in the new SLK.
• If u like the new SLK , u willl be happy with larger sibling.
