franchise for the company it's almost an
automotive category unto itself
so when they've made changes in this
2017 they didn't do radical surgery
though they did do some plastic surgery

beautiful now it's just plain beautiful
as Mercedes does these days they have a
v mode dynamic select control for the
drivetrain personality and those drive
trains are many SL 450 v6 SL 550 v8 SL
63 AMG v8 and the big boy the sl65 AMG
v12 621 horse by the way the zero to 60
time between them only varies by a

speed automatic the AMG flavors get a
7-speed automatic now the SL has always
been a high tech engineering showcase
for Mercedes not their biggest car but
they shoehorn almost the most tech into
