 
The R230 chassis Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG was the initial AMG-fortified SL to be produced in important volumes and the initial to be exported to North America (The V12-powered R129 chassis SL60 AMG and SL73 AMG, as nicely as the usually aspirated R129 SL55 AMG, had been neither.). It also helped introduce thousands of buyers worldwide to the brilliant mixture of a snappy forced-induction V8, retractable hardtop, and performance oriented suspension tuning, and the sales figures reflected that.
 
Quickly forward about a decade, and Mercedes-Benz and its in-home tuner are taking the hot dog V8 SL back to that winning formula by switching back to a blower-fed engine. But it&rsquos also moving the model into the future by slashing the curb weight by a considerable quantity. The outcome is the silver super roadster you see right here, the 2013 SL63 AMG.
