A Road Test review of the 2023 Mercedes-AMG SL where we discuss how it drives, performs and compare to the competition.

. Compared to the AMG GT, it’s even more disappointing, as the vibrations and noises from the engine and exhaust in that car were seemingly transmitted straight into your bones. If a little distance from the powertrain and added refinement is what you want, though, the SL has it.

Technically speaking, the SL 63’s suspension is incredible. It’s called AMG Active Ride Control, and the headline feature is hydraulic, active anti-roll stabilization. This SL 63 — unlike the SL 55 — doesn’t have traditional mechanical anti-roll bars. Active hydraulic elements replace them, and the result is a system that allows for torsion bar stiffness from zero to very, very stiff.

’s MagneRide . The SL is able to chew through terrible pavement either at speed or when slowly cruising around town as though it’s a dedicated luxury cruiser. That forgiveness in the chassis entirely disappears when you pop it into Sport+ or Race mode, and an impossibly flat, shockingly stiff sports car comes out. It’s genuinely cool technology that you can feel working just how it should.

Of course, I have only driven the 63, so his analysis proved prophetic to a degree. Yet, it’s also telling that the apparently less refined SL with a harder edge still isn’t as rowdy as the AMG GT before it. That car was uncomfortable and uncouth in comparison. It has an edge that keeps you on your toes and makes you want to keep trying your best to tame the beast.
