    They can stop calling them "63" any decade now. Their nomenclature is worse than Porsche Taycan Turbo.

    that platform is going to make a great SL, and a really generic AMG GT.

    Unfortunate.

    That’s just stock footage for the press.

    V8 only at launch, 580hp SL63 and the 480hp SL55. The SL63 E Performance hybrid is up next with 830hp.

    Bolds well for the next E63 keeping the V8.

    AMG has a couple of cool and exciting cars left in its line-up. In a couple of years it will be down to something like 1 or 2.

    Woman in a white pantsuit is definitely the correct target audience here

    That's exactly what I thought... but why unfortunate? Cause the GT will no longer be as special?

    I think this thing is amazing. And I may wear a white pantsuit now and again, but I am no woman.

    He thinks that extending the SLS/AMG GT platform to the SL, which has a different comfort/performance balance, will water down the GT. The big change is the loss of the DCT transmission, switching to the MCT (automatic with wet clutch) in the SL, losing the transaxle, which may carry over to the AMG GT.

    There are so many variables that define the driving experience so I think he's wrong. I mean look at the GT 4 door, that's derived from the E wagon platform, and feels more like an AMG GT than an E63. For all we know, nothing changes in the next GT and it's the same mid front engine rear transaxle layout.

    Saw this released today and thought it would be a perfect Rage2 car with his new found love of verts.

    I think AMG is making the smart choice, as this will have a much broader appeal. The GT launch was a disaster because a bunch of SL buyers bought them not realizing it was an actual sports car. This is marketing vs. engineering, with the marketing people winning.

    Not newfound, I only drove verts till kids came along.

    But ya, 830hp hybrid SL, AWD, great balance of comfort and performance? Definitely checks all the boxes for a great DD. If I could afford it.

    Looks like an embargo lifted and now we'll get a flood of samey youtubers all jizzing themselves over the car.

    It looks fantastic. A million times better than the old SL.

    It’s an aesthetic for me. Hard top convertibles near universally look decent top up.

    Soft tops, rarely look good.

    you dont buy convertibles for how they look with the top up. for the most part, even hard tops proportions dont work.
