IT'S BACK! Reborn Mercedes SL 63 AMG First Drive - with Mr AMG!

[@RemoveBeforeRace]

Love this car, can’t wait to drive the 55 preferably in European spec! The USA version sounds absolutely amazing, how great is it to have a pure AMG V8 sports car in 2022? We are so lucky!

[@Sebastian_Daniels]

To be honest, this SL 63 sounds better than all the other M178 engines of 2021. What do you think Raz?

It's really nice for an SL but a second gen S-Class Coupe would have most propably been the most beautiful car in the world because the first gen was just that.

[@DanielSadjadian]

The S coupe sure was gorgeous, inside and out 🔥

[@Marctastic1]

Yea the s class coupe has to be one of the best looking cars ever made by Mercedes

[@huyra8019]

The s class coupe is so lovely to just stare at.

This comment shows the perfect psychology of a neurotypical mind. Even if something is perfect, a human mind wants to find flaws and something to complain about. You can see this effect in most things in life. Its fascinating.

[@epicon6]

@@W1HURI That's not it. There are just better designs than others that i prefer. And i really like the SL, there's nothing wrong because it's perfect for what it is.

[@jaschana2220]

this is literally the most beautiful car in the world right now.. the jag f type was amazing, but this is one notch above even that!

[@johnnyboy1586]

I did prefer the older jag f type as I don't like the Mazda light on new one .this Mercedes is quite nice though

[@DanielSadjadian]

That engine should be cherished, so much character and performance. Good thing the AMG CEO said that the V8 will remain for a few more years 👍

Sounds great too, especially with no OPF, lucky US customers.

[@chrisgarret3285]

we are, that said I can't imagine not doing the exhaust to it if I were to own it, always a must

[@brutussibisi427]

It looks like nice but I think they should have made a hard top version as well. It would be perfect 👌

[@smm6526]

When benz wants you to buy their overproduced convertibles, they will slap an engine they know you adore in it and not anywhere else...

[@Ne0c225]

YES PLEASE! (even though i don't have money to buy one T_T)

[@DanielSadjadian]

It’s such a gorgeous car from every angle and if the spy shots are anything to go by, the next gen GT is gonna be epic too 👍🔥

[@DanielSadjadian]

3.5s in the wet is pretty damn good, as fast as an F-Type SVR in the dry 🔥👍

[@YounesLayachi]

Weird comparison

[@DanielSadjadian]

@@YounesLayachi haha yeah I guess so. Although you can get the F-Type SVR as a convertible. The point is, the SL is heavier and still puts in a good time despite being driven in the rain. Anyway both lovely cars.

[@muhammadhaekalhakim6402]

Yeah,it still goes quicker than what amg said.and some motoring journalist like motortrend,car & driver,and redline reviews actually did 3 seconds dead on this car.so we can say that Mercedes has done a very good job for going with the 4matic on this new sl

[@chrisgarret3285]

and with a passenger

[@randomsurfer3963]

This has to be the best looking Mercedes on sale (almost) right now, in my opinion of course..

[@johnlukach4091]

This and the AMG gt 63s imo all the others look cookie cutter nowadays

[@francisgallozzi2595]

If it was equipped with the power hardtop, it would have been perfect.

[@SWAGKINGSBD]

The soul of this car

[@aneebaba06]

Wow, Just as a car fan (let alone a Merc fan, which I am - yes I am a BMW driver and fan too) - liking this a lot. Though I feel a bit sad there isn't a non-AMG version, but I guess it's a more narrow market, so might as well go big or go home with the SL. Will be interesting to see how they sell and who the typical buyer is. Once again, sorry about the bad luck down here with the rain.

[@effervescence5664]

Like the 2+2, like the interior, as always hate the touch controls but most of all it doesn't have the same kind of wow factor as the old S class Coupe. I feel like they'll have a hard job replacing that car, it was wonderful to drive and just be in.

[@plutodestroyer12]

idk how i feel about the overall shape i want to love it, maybe needa see one in person

[@JosephMorin]

Newport Beach! You’re in my hometown, I know the Lido House and surrounding streets where you’re parked with all of the SLs well. Sorry you came on the worst weather we’ve had in months, hopefully you can experience our normally spectacular weather another time. Great reviews as always.

[@francis191]

Hey Rez, The active body control is a carry over from R230. It was improved on in the R231. It does provide a much firmer ride to prevents pitch and roll.

[@johng9461]

9.8/10 interior. Bloody fantastic.

[@DanielSadjadian]

Epic intro Raz, well done 👍🔥

[@RemoveBeforeRace]

Thanks buddy!

[@rajanrairealty8979]

i like hardop not softtop. the lines fold tho

[@benbustama3430]

I’m a big fan of the AMG line; however, the SL and the S sedan are notorious for mega depreciation! Outside of that, these are very capable, fun, and rewarding automobiles. Thanks for the intro. Cheers/B

[@rare6499]

One of my favourite new cars. Lovely. Still wish it didn’t have the big screen on the inside but OK.

[@Onidax]

Agree, it looks such an after thought. Wish you could hide the screen... I don't always need to be looking at a tablet when driving!

[@Brother-Louis]

Much better review than any of the others. RBR - Simply the best

[@anastasiaca450]

This and the '18 E63s are the best sounding AMGs I have heard till date.

[@Sarah-iv5tu]

And check out old w204 c63 also amazing or the old sls, my dream garage is sls amg Coupé + 2022 sl63 convertible that would be awesome

[@jackwbitton]

Stepped up the production again, congrats to Jamie and yourself was a great watch

[@AMGEVAN]

I kind of preferred the retractable hardtop. Seems like they went a bit backwards in that aspect

[@philippebeinaerts]

Its cars may not be as sharp and focused als Porsches, but AMG does the emotional aspect of daily driving soooo well

[@CarvingCanyons]

I’ve been wanting to drive it since I spotted a prototype in Beverly Hills a year ago!

[@velvetjones1856]

I like a lot about this car but the soft top is a step backwards from the folding hard top the car has featured for the last couple versions.

[@MegaRetr]

The AMG SL63 is my dream car.

[@firewaffle1]

Car sounds incredible, loved the video👍

[@bigstig9758]

15:30 shows how gorgeous this car would be as a hard top.

[@Original-q11]

👍As it should be...

[@karelesterhuizen7117]

Great example of a coupe, just love it. Great vid.

[@EmetYAHU]

It only sounds good because it’s a USA spec car, lower your expectations for the choked EU OPF version. It’s nice, but at that price point it’s just not SPECIAL enough to get me interested. I’d rather an off-lease low mileage AMG GTR 👀

[@futuretyrant2905]

This SL and the new s class are the 2 most gorgeous new Mercedes’ cars in recent time

[@grahamtricker4103]

I drove the previous V8 500 SL (2020) last year. I couldn't put up with the 2 second throttle delay before anything happened. What were MB thinking putting that ridiculous screen in this car. Looks like someone has just plonked a iPad on the centre console...

[@emekaokoye9168]

Lovely car, Best looking thing they’ve done in a while. Are the exhaust vents fake though. Didn’t see any smoke come out of them when you revved it. If so, such a shame.

[@oliversmith7166]

Excellent review though the weather was atrocious. Are you going to review the AMG EQE?

[@LawrenceMarkFearon]

Crazy how far away the back window is. This SL is so HUUUGGE with those backseats. 10 years ago you could touch the back window! 😤

Could you go into more detail in comparison between this and the GTC, GTR roadster, and other competitors. It seems this has a better sound than the muted gtr roadster.

[@rouhou1081]

I have an SL55 on order for delivery in June...but last minute changed my mind, switched to a GT53 4-dr.... we just became a family of 3...worried a baby seat will not fit in the rear of the SL... have I made a mistake?!

[@AdamAus85]

Excellent, bar the strip joint interior lighting. But oh well, they're all doing that.

[@drimranhaq]

Great review! I think the most legendary aspect is driving around in the SL63 and having your suitcase roll around in the back. #SSSSboiz

[@D2OFFICIALYOUTUBE]

It looks nice but they should have kept the hardtop convertible. That was the only reason to buy the SL. Why would you buy this when you can get the AMG GT convertible.

[@rahulsoni6652]

The blue and white though🔥

[@LiqdPT]

I'm not entirely sure what the positioning of this is VS the GT.

[@neil_sol]

It’s less hardcore

[@theanonymousone9668]

Car makers' move from hardtop convertibles to soft top has to rank among the top 5 worst design decisions in automotive history

[@dominicwood3750]

Love the transformer roof on my r230 gen SLs

[@nickatnite16]

Yeah,I don't understand that design choice. It's like going backwards ,like swapping power windows for roll down windows

[@jordzta]

Great video as always Ahaha - ssss. Sorry man I get it all the time on the way back to England.

[@thomashrubecky1663]

Fantastic video. I’m really impressed by the lack of rain sound on the roof yet the exhaust sounds phenomenal. I have to ask… what version of IWC watch are you wearing? (Are you also a “mechanical watch guy”? Mechanical watches and cars just seem to go together. What watch channels do you view?) Keep up the awesome work! As a longtime subscriber (though not an serial commentor) I go to your videos as soon as I see them.

[@mikeisaacs2314]

These new SL look amazing if I could afford one it would be the same spec they you was driving only thing I would change is to some black rims

[@shamyl73]

i would pick the white with red top. gorgeous!

[@boeingdriver29]

Love IWC, you know your watches.

[@Jokwoo]

Curious. I just don’t feel any joy or fizz looking at this new SL. The graphics, light design, grill shape, etc. seem over-designed at best and slightly gaudy at worst, something that steering wheel symbolizes so well! But, alas, to each their own.

[@speedee7508]

You killed with the Spider-Man Mask!

[@gareth8472]

What a car. It's a pity that US spec rear bumper inserts ruin the look of the rear? Necessary evil? I don't know. How has Europe managed without them 🤔

[@ahemgee9542]

Beautiful, but still not keen on th air vent design or the lack of tablet integration into the dash. The bright red seats look awful. The cold start sounded lovely but EU models with OPF will definitely be much quieter.

[@barryfastcars25]

I wish it did not have the active rear wing. It would look a lot better with a smooth trunk.

[@mattburgon8312]

Sounds better than the GT Black Series 😬

[@theodoreesawjr.8352]

Absolutely Beautiful!!!!!

[@T.S.T2014]

Love the car and completely love the yellow

[@Allinho2008]

Hey Roz, i picked up a second hand black AMG GTR, it had all blacked out AMG and V8 badges, just wandering if this is a genuine merc package, or just some aftermarket? The dealer said it was part of some Night package?

[@aneebaba06]

Glad you did this review here in the US - UK spec may not sound as good, right?

[@AChi__]

@2:17 100% Avoid getting into a habit of unscrewing your shaving stick in that manner. With the blade aready in there, you'll cut yourself repeatedly. Hold the two opposing shorter sides of the shaving stick head still, and then unscrew its handle by rotating its handle only. Good luck.

[@RemoveBeforeRace]

I should have made clear: it doesn’t come with a blade out of the box, so you have to install one! Hence. 😉

In my dream 3 car garage for sure.(the 55 though)

[@thbgruen]

Really don't know. Love Benz, live 40 miles from the main factory away, saw many prototypes here (as Porsche...) and drive an AMG package E since 2 years so I am really positive BUT for me it's more a GT Roadster FL... And to be hobest the GT looks more masculine. Of course the new SL looks stunning but more difference would have been great!
