I like that the luxury manufactueres are coming out with stock matte finishes!
Under the hood, two engines are available. The entry-level 3.5-liter V6 produces 302 hp (225 kW / 306 PS) and 273 lb-ft (370 Nm) of torque. It enables the convertible to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds while averaging 41.5 mpg UK (6.8 L/100km / 34.5 mpg US).
If that isn’t powerful enough, the SL500 has a twin-turbo 4.7-liter V8 with 429 hp (320 kW / 435 PS) and 516 lb-ft (699 Nm) of torque. This allows the car to run from 0-100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds.
On the handling front, the car has an electro-mechanical steering system and a multi-link suspension with steel springs and semi-active dampers. Active Body Control is optional on the SL350, but all models benefit from an aluminum-intensive body shell which increases torsional rigidity by 20 percent.
