I love their appearance, but the price is ridiculous.
Exactly. You could have a nicely optioned 911 for that price
It’s a lottttt of money
Yeah. For a lot less you could get a mint R230 SL65.
@@S58985 Even that's expensive for a nicely optioned 911. That's getting close to Lambo money.
@@mattymatte6289 that is true. This should have been priced closer to the $130-$150k mark. So many better options at $200k
I work as a valet, and I legit parked this car 30 minutes ago. Perfecting timing for a tedward video!
Man that's a nice sounding engine and a nice looking roadster, but that electronic dash with that oversized iPad in the middle takes all of the soul out of it. A beautiful stack of analog gauges and knobs for most functions would make this a dream.
Well, even the engine sound is also so over-refined and designed with I assume some fake sounds added, making it not sound genuine at all. Childish, fake, computer-programmed embarrassing exhaust pops too.
I drive these AMG cars at work and I absolutely love them despite usually being in transport mode hahah. It's awesome seeing you drive them out in public
I sort of forget the SL still exists in the MB lineup but man, will not forget it after hearing it!
Really takes the cake for v8 sound, absolutely love it!
That v8 sound and upshift 🔥
Can't help noticing how the center screen is so hard to see in direct sunlight! Maybe it's just the camera. You'd think a roadster would have a more elegant way to handle this. The display angle adjustment might do the trick. But who are we kidding, the target demo is probably going to have the top up at all times ;)
The person that design that screen deserve to be fired
I rented a c43 amg in Arizona. Was unreal fun. Think I want one
Love the popping and banging from the exhaust.
The pops are alright, on the other hand I think that the constant manufactured farting on shifting gets really old really fast. Every damn german car does it
@@jaky3 I agree, don’t like it at all
An honest and fair review. Thanks, Tedward
Saw it on the road couple days ago. So nice
Out of all the newer Benz's, this and a G-Wagon is all I'd buy. Oh, and maybe an older E63 Touring.
Thanks for a great video. The roads look amazing
Mmm I love this artificially generated engine sound from the speakers, so good 🥰🥰🥰
Some crazy cars on the channel recently👍
Looks very sharp. And I agree the tech is a lot till you get used to it, I bet. One thing that I see is not a lot of room in the cockpit.
The light reflecting on that big screen seems cheap as hell. Why in the world place a giant screen in a cabriolet car where the sun is blaring every time you drive? Counter intuitive if you ask me. For a 200k car they could`ve added at least some physical controls to it to make it usable. Now if it`s summer time, sun is shining and my right side hookah wants to change the music radio or whatever, we won`t be able to. Classic MB cost cutting. Fyi: one stupid screen is cheaper than 10-20 aluminum controls, so yeah, they do it this way because of cost cutting, not because of trends, freacking idiots.
you can see in the video when adjust the screen for that quick demo the glare goes away. Mercedes has always implemented solutions for these things
@@SM-1010 yea, but it still glares as fuck, trust me, any cabrio car navigation suffers from this and mercedes makes it worse. It is stupid.
I've driven this car and it is literally not an issue with the adjustable screen. Touch grass
Best looking Mercedes imo
You drive at insanely awesome speeds man!
Alright, for real I’m tired of cars just having screens. I want a physical tachometer and speedometer. All of this stuff looks really tacky and in a few years will look even worse. Why can’t we just have physical buttons and dials. It’s not that complicated
Amazing how Merc is coming out with timeless designs like this, yet our beloved BMW is...well...tragic.
Damn, that thing looks like a BEAST
The steering wheel airbag cover looks so cheap. At this price, it should be leather.
>SL (Super Light)
>Is heavy
Oh Mercedes, never change
drove this car a few months ago. It's pretty indescribable how hard this thing slams you back in your seat when you lay on it. Love the sound too!
So basically they went old school BMW M5 with the 6 driving modes, 4 suspension modes, 4 power levels, 3 transmission shift modes... or the long pause in the video of Hammond standing next to James May waiting.... awkwardly.
i find mercedes for me makes the best driving cars out there, i drive my amg gtr even more than my mclaren
Considering the peak outputs are identical to the M157, it would be interesting to see how the torquer and power figures compare on the graph.
All of that tech just seems over the top, but maybe that’s what people want for 200k+?
Fun fact: if you leave a water bottle or a water glass on the sunroof, it won't fall when you try to open/close it.
Sunroof?
I saw one of these in person the other day. Goregous thing, but it does have the 911 cab rear going on which is a shame
Wow Excellent Superb 👍 SL 64 AMG
Beauitful design holy crap!
while the design of the car is absoloutely stunning, i personally think the exhaust note really leaves something to be desired
never mind the sound and the looks, that blow off valve at 6:52 is crazy 🥵
8:25, 8:36 and a few other moments too. So good
One nitpick from me. Why the fake exhaust tips on a $180,000 AMG. Seriously Mercedes, on a car that expensive at least use real exhaust tips.
I’d rather just get the 55 and throw a tune on it.
Yeah, I don’t see the 63 being worth $41K more than the 55 either
Yeah me too, but w211 E55 lol, 0.6 second slower. Way more reliable than anything Germans been making since early 2000s.
Yes 😊
At 2:53 the top half of the rear looks very Porsche 911 and the bottom half of the rear starting at the tail lights looks Infinity coupe like
I like how the car sounds, with that V8. But not a fan of the yellow tbh (That’s my opinion)
The new infotainment and steering wheel controls are horrible. So many of the controls in this gen feel super cheap.
Just to give an example, the driver memory button is a single plate (for three buttons). Pressing it always feels a little inexact, and it's clear that it was done for cost savings. The steering wheel buttons are similar. It just doesn't have a place in cars this expensive.
The worst is the nose lift and roof are on the touch screen. The nose lift screen kept glitching and wouldn’t register the command. Had to restart the car 3 times to get it to work.
Yeah I agree when I see that plastic chrome trim I just l picture it chipping and looking like crap 5 years from now. Im kinda let down sometimes when I inspect used MB’s just to find the button lettering fading, chips and scratches apparent in lots of places. Hey I guess they have a budget and have to keep to it to some degree. I guess the old 80s/90s MB tanks of the past will never really return. Oh well, way out of my price range anyway.
Doesn't show the top in operation 😥
Man I hate that gloss black on the steering wheel especially, what was wrong with the previous amg aluminum ones?
I'm with you...
With all the tech, screens, and no bottons and a V8 that sounds pale and dull - I feel you will be completely disconnected with the car. But thats in general these days :)
394.000 are you kidding me Tedward! I remember when you had 5-10k views pr vid haha :)
$206,000 for an Sl63 AMG. $6 for butter at the grocery store. $10 for couscous
For that money, Porsche 911 all the way.
Imo the car looks good but nowhere near as good as the previous one did. The best part about exterior design is the paint job on this unit. On the inside - way too much digitalization, the best looking features are the speakers on the doors, vents and the stalks. When it comes to the exhaust, I'm sorry, but it's just a boring note at this point. Overall, fits perfectly as a car I would like to daily drive when retired and would never have the willpower to drop the bag on it with other options available, kinda like the LC 500 (which to be fair is way more appealing than this SL). It's just my take on the car only though, great watch nonetheless!
I can buy two s classes with this lol
It needs a V12 no 🧢
You could say that for a lot of cars. But no, we can't have them anymore because governments keep crying about "muh emissions."
That’d be an sl65 if they made it
@@LordTywinLannistertheBased people keep talking about that, but ferrari still managed to whip out an SUV with a v12. i think it is less set in stone than people think. just unrealistic fearmongering.
@@fartloudYT because Ferrari, as a whole, still has a much smaller carbon footprint simply due to the fact that they produce in limited quantities, compared to something more mass-produced, like Mercedes. Ferrari can afford to chuck a v12 in every one of their models, but not Mercedes. They’ve reserved their v12 models simply for Maybach
I am good, will order c8 stinkray
this will blow the doors off a C8
9:55 Yes, why can't they give us at least the option of an analogue style tach with all those fancy graphics? Call me old school, but the feel of driving computer monitors or tablet screens around is just not my style.
It’s ridiculous, at most as speced it’s 120K with the carbon ceramics and solar beam yellow.
looks like a very cheap A class airbag cover/steering wheel center. I don't know why they do that. It's right in your face. For 200k, at least wrap it in leather like in a $60-70k BMW
there's a leather steering wheel center option available for this car...
@@user-um3fx2vk8r fair enough, but that should not be an option in a car at this price point
@@brelaxed13 some people like to save money where they can, and believe it or not some people rather have a plastic center so its not gonna get stained from a coffee spill or whatever
@@user-um3fx2vk8r I am not buying what you are selling but that's OK lol
Anyone know what the white car with the gull wing doors is at the beginning of the video?
Mc20
@@TedwardDrives ah, yep. I can see that now. Couldn’t work it out and every video I have ever seen if one is blue! Cheers
That road needs repair
Drives fine, the touch controls and MBUX are a nightmare to operate while driving.
no they're really not...my GLE63s is just fine with MBUX and the touch controls, nobody else I know who owns a brand new benz has a problem with it. sounds like its a you problem
@V8 the GLE mbux version and overall setup are no where near the same as on the S class tablets. The GLE version is usable. The full tablet is not. Definitely not a me problem if every other car reviewer says the same
@@cyrilchou894 yeah no shit...the S class uses an updated version. Still like I said, mine as 0 issues. These car reviews just complain abunch about litte things which is annoying.
@@cyrilchou894 and you're wrong, lots of car reviewers rave about the MBUX system being one of the best in a car.
@@user-um3fx2vk8r I’ll take iDrive in my Ghost any day.
It's not a bad looking car but it's just not like a SLS or GT
The shape of it is very 911-ish
Welp they issued stop sale on the type r take it easy for now no racing lol faulty seat welds
pretty glad since now I dont have to explain the squeak to the service department lol
@@TedwardDrives btw I got to see my first fl5 in person at the grocery store the other day older gentleman had it in black, pictures and videos don’t do it justice till you see it in person it really is a beautiful car , caught my eye the most was the spoiler , how wide the wheel arches looked and the intercooler popped through the front bumper vent
Fully agree on this! Saw it for the first time the other day as well and it looks so much better in reality than in photos or videos.
I doesn't look like a Civic or a hatchback but it does look really good.
One of the major complaints is that a some of the larger golf irons won’t actually fit in the trunk and it was pissing those guys off lol because it has to go in back seat. So idk if it will serve it’s purpose in that function.
You’d think that’d be design requirement number 1. Ahead of wheels and engine 😂
Yep, it doesn't have a solution for a Nice Life Problem.
anyone here it blowing off every time he lets off lol
Car is sick... But those giant screens going in everything, it looks so out of place.
I think I prefer the LC500
Great car, but every time I can't answer one question: Why would anybody buy this and not a McLaren or an Aston Martin for that kinda money?
❤❤❤❤
Let's be honest this is new AMG GT Roadster that just carries SL name. Mercedes official line is streamlining their offer, they simply build too much similar models. Coupe version of this will carry GT name
200k for that? Is that a joke
The interior is so cheap looking...how do modern manufacturers get away with that
thousands of dollars of leather and suede is cheap to you?
@@user-um3fx2vk8r It could have cost them 7 million to produce, it still looks like a base model plastic piece of shit.
@@kantina4765 doesnt look like a base model at all, you think an A class looks just like this too? you're delusional, and probably angry you couldnt afford it...
Large car wtf?.
Good looking and really fast but wouldn´t buy one
Ngl, all these m177/178 AMGs are so damn BORING and uninspiring, once you have witnessed tha glorious sound of ye old 6.2l M156. The Biturbo just sounds like an angry Dyson vacuum cleaner, whereas the 6.2l NA engine sounds as though Hades had unleashed Cerberus upon the world.
Kinda agree, but i would not call any AMG boring
Still better than what's coming next with all EV
All you need is a custom exhuast and/or a straight pipe and this V8 will sound better then anything youve ever heard. all these people complaining about "oh we should go back to the 6.2 liter naturally asiprated!" like no, no we shouldnt. These new 4L V8s have insanely good tech and way better responsivness and performance then the older 6 liters. Why downgrade the engine? for "better" noise? what a joke
Idk when we will get rid of these ugly looking tablets on dashboards. Make them integrated instead of putting on it like an ipad pasted with super glue.
Absolutely not for that price.
The car is failure. Noise pollution and obesity built in and the wannabe Tesla display a shame. Hope they correct this and introduce a slimmed down inline 6 m256 high performance version without any muffler effects. The original 300SL had a better sound and was just technologically ahead of anyone. Imagine with todays competence designing an inline 6 lightweight SL …
Noise pollution? sounds like you're better off driving an "eco friendly" tesla lmao. long live the V8s
Lovely car!
