The 2025 Mercedes-AMG® SL Roadster blends performance engineering with stunning design. Born from motorsport DNA, it balances open-air freedom with cutting-edge control. Two available models—the SL 55 and SL 63—deliver handcrafted V8 power and advanced AMG® technology. Whether cruising under the sun or carving through curves, this roadster refuses to compromise. Every element supports the pursuit of speed, stability, and luxury. At Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale in Scottsdale, AZ, enthusiasts can experience this roadster firsthand. With exceptional torque, refined aerodynamics, and dynamic drive systems, the 2025 SL Roadster redefines modern open-top performance.
Two V8 options drive the 2025 SL Roadster lineup. The SL 55 features a 4.0L biturbo V8 producing 469 horsepower and 516 lb.-ft. of torque. Acceleration from 0–60 mph takes just 3.8 seconds. For those craving more thrill, the SL 63 elevates power to 577 horsepower and 590 lb.-ft. of torque. It hits 60 mph in only 3.5 seconds. Both trims include AMG® Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive as standard. This system balances torque across all four wheels for exceptional grip, even in challenging conditions.
Each SL Roadster pairs its V8 with the AMG® SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 9-speed transmission. Fast, seamless shifts are standard in every drive mode. The wet clutch design replaces the traditional torque converter for quicker response. Launch control is available through Race Start mode. Drivers can also fine-tune dynamics using AMG DYNAMIC SELECT. Settings include Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Slippery, and Individual. These modes adjust throttle response, steering weight, shift timing, and suspension stiffness in real time. This transmission enhances both daily drives and track-day excitement.
Ride quality and handling benefit from advanced chassis tech. The standard AMG® RIDE CONTROL suspension adapts to changing road surfaces instantly. For maximum control, the SL 63 adds AMG® ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL. This system integrates hydraulic anti-roll stabilization to reduce body roll during aggressive cornering. High-performance composite brakes help maintain control during repeated hard stops. Calipers grip large, ventilated rotors designed for fade resistance and precise pedal feel. Together, these components create a responsive, agile roadster ready for any twist or turn.
Function meets form through intelligent aerodynamic design. Active aerodynamic elements improve airflow and downforce based on speed and driving mode. An active front spoiler manages drag and stability. The lightweight soft top lowers in around 15 seconds, even at speeds up to 37 mph. Beneath the surface, the body structure remains rigid. Engineers use aluminum, magnesium, and composite materials to maintain strength and agility. The result is a convertible that feels secure and stable at any speed.
