Mercedes SL63 AMG, power monster @ RM1million


When the standard SL350 could not quench your thirst of power and you are a loyal customer of the three-pointed-star, and not willing to settle for the less comfortable Porsche 911, here you have the SL63 AMG, when you have a million extra to spend.  Equipped with a 5.5-litre V8 Bi-Turbo engine mated to AMG 7-speed speedshift transmission, with 530hp/800Nm of power, the owner better bring the car to the track to really enjoy the speed that is available, and it has LSD as standard.  Carbon ceramic brake is needed to halt this monster.  On a normal weekend, with the top down, it could be the best machine to travel on some B-road and enjoy the scenic view with some fresh air.


Interior of the SL63 is as Mercedes, with some added touch of AMG.  Red Nappa leather add to the sportiness and scream of luxury to your neighbor Ferrari or Porsche.  No other sport cars could beat the experience of a Mercedes bringing status, comfort, luxury, cabriolet in one package.  7" infotainment screen, southward pointing meter cluster and a host of button that could control different driving mode of the incredible machine.


If you however think that the SL63 is too fast to handle, the SL350 is available at only RM900k, which comes with a 3.5-litre engine that still produces a good 300hp/370Nm.  When speed is your middle name, then the SL65 AMG is what you should go after.  The V12 bi-turbo could generate 620hp/1000Nm of power.  If you ever own one, any of the variant, you better keep your seat belt on all the time!
