Trim Levels (Exterior)
<p>There are four trim levels for the SL-Class Roadster, with each using its own engine. The first two are the SL 450 and SL 550, the latter of which packs up to 449 horsepower. The top two trim levels, the AMG® SL 63 and AMG® SL 65, both use AMG® track-inspired engines. Though the potential power available to drivers is wild, the base SL 450 has 362 horsepower, more than enough for buttery-smooth and impressive driving. In particular, the improvements to the SL 450 compared to the 2016 SL 400 give it 33 more horsepower and 15 more pound-feet of torque.</p><p>However, the most obvious difference between the 2016 and 2017 Roadster is in the outer styling. Where the 2016 model kept low to the ground with a broad, intense front bumper, the 2017 model has a longer hood with a rise toward the end. Its impression is one of confidence and maturity, and yet it maintains the dominant look of the past styling as well.</p>
Engine (Power)
There are four engines available for the Roadster, with one for each trim level. The SL 450 uses a 3.0-liter biturbo V6 with 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. The SL 550 uses a 4.7-liter biturbo V8 with 449 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. The AMG® S L63 uses a hand-crafted 5.5-liter biturbo V8 with 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. Finally, the AMG® SL 65 uses a hand-crafted 6.0-liter biturbo V12 with 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. The Roadster's best 0-60 speed comes from the AMG® SL 65, at 3.9 seconds.
Performance
<p>A new re-tuned ignition system deserves much of the credit for the higher specs on the standard Roadster, but Mercedes-Benz didn't stop at higher numbers. This thrilling convertible's power is tempered by advanced driver support as well. Past Roadsters have two modes that drivers can switch to on the fly: Comfort and Sport. 2017 Roadsters have a new, expanded Dynamic Select menu within the infotainment console, with Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus, and Individual settings to choose from.</p><p>For changes to the top-level trims, AMG® SL 550 models include an all-new nine-speed automatic transmission, which is now also seen in the base models. The AMG® SL 63 now has a mechanical limited slip differential, which was only optional in previous models.</p>
Interior
The 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Roadster's interior is unchanged from last year, which is no concern for anyone who has tried a 2016 Roadster. The same beautiful and welcoming interior is back, with a navigation and infotainment system included standard. There is a new curve function drivers can choose, which makes the Roadster level itself better against hard corners, off-ramps, etc.
Safety Features
The latest Roadster has a host of advanced safety features not seen in some lower priced convertibles. These include brake drying, self-levelling and cornering headlights, turn signal mirrors, and the latest active security features that alert the driver to threats, or that brake automatically.
