Find your perfect SL-Class

The latest Mercedes SL trades the previous version's slightly dumpy looks and handling for something more aggressive. It's still more of a grand tourer than a sports car, but is now extremely composed, and, with its extra dose of practicality, it’s more versatile than ever.

The SL55 gets a turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 that delivers its 469bhp through a 4Matic+ four-wheel-drive system. At our private test track we clocked one sprinting from 0-60mph in just 3.7 seconds. With its Nascar-aping soundtrack it is our favourite engine in the range.
