To celebrate the finale of the 2022 Formula One season, Mercedes-AMG launched the SL 63 "Motorsport Collectors Edition," a roadster that mirrors the design of the AMG Formula One W13 E Performance car. This example, completing production on 3 July 2023, is one of just 100 produced. Its paint finish flows from High-Tech Silver Metallic to Obsidian Black Metallic, accented by a star pattern on the flanks and Petronas-colored details on the front apron, side skirts, diffuser, and the 21-inch AMG forged wheels in Matte Black with Petronas-colored rims.
Powering the SL 63 is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, delivering 577 PS at 5,500 rpm and 800 Nm of torque at 2,500 rpm, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. This enables astonishing straight-line pace: zero to 100 km/h in just 3.0 seconds, a quarter-mile sprint in 11.2 seconds at 200 km/h, and a manufacturer-claimed top speed in excess of 300 km/h.
Performance and style are elevated by the AMG Aerodynamics package, which integrates larger flics, an extended diffuser, and an active underbody profile to improve stability, downforce, and efficiency at speed. For added convenience, the front axle lift system is included with the package. Visual impact is further enhanced by the AMG Night and Night II packages, which add High-Gloss Black and Black-Chrome finishes to exterior details, along with darkened lighting units and black-painted brake calipers.
Inside, the cabin strikes a balance between sport and luxury, featuring AMG Performance seats upholstered in Black Nappa leather and Microcut microfiber with yellow stitching. Carbon-fiber trim and a heated AMG steering wheel with a carbon-fiber rim to reinforce its motorsport character. Standard features include Burmester 3D surround sound, ambient lighting, MBUX with Track Pace, a head-up display, and illuminated AMG door sills.
Once completed, the SL was sent to AutoTorino S.p.A., the official Mercedes-Benz dealer in Turin, Italy, where it was sold on 26 July. With a base price in excess of €170.000, the Motorsport Collectors Edition added nearly €75.000 to the base price, with the total invoiced price reaching nearly €250.000. Since then, the car has been used on a limited basis, covering just 1,254 kilometers at the time of cataloging. As a result of this limited use, the vehicle remains in fantastic condition today while offering a nearly new car experience. More than just an AMG-tuned SL, this car combines the best of the AMG with the heritage of the SL range to celebrate the triumphant 2022 Formula 1 season. With only 100 examples produced, it should be a welcome addition to any Mercedes or Formula One enthusiast's collection.

You already know about what an icon car the SL Class of the 1970s and 1980s was, I won't repeat it. This is a late-eighties U.S. model, as evidenced by the high-mounted brake light on the trunk lid.
The color appears to be cerise, an obscure mix of red and maroon.
My local supermarket moved to a brand new larger building around the corner from the old location, and it was in its brand new parking lot where I got a picture of this not-so-brand-new Mercedes-Benz SL roadster. It's from the generation from the 1970s and 1980s, although Benz buffs will refer to it as the R107.
I never figured out why Daimler uses alphanumeric code names for its platforms that are different from the alphanumeric marketing names for the vehicles. It might as well use one of the other for both.

From the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum's Web site:
In 1954, [Daimler-Benz] introduced the SL (Sport Light). Because its low-slung chassis incorporated a frame which extended over to the side of the body, Mercedes hinged the doors at the roof, thus giving the gull wing appearance when both opened. This car had many design features besides its doors, most notably the fact it was the first production car with fuel injection. It had an overhead valve inline 6-cylinder engine of 3-liter capacity which developed 190 horsepower. In line with the 4-speed manual transmission, rack and pinion steering, and independent front and swing axle rear suspension, the top speed of 152 miles per hour was reasonable with a 0-60 in 7.2 seconds.
"The car was introduced shortly after Daimler-Benz had converted its war effort and in 1952 they were victorious in the World Sports Car Manufacturers Championship and in the recently formed Sports Car category. American distributor Max Hoffman recognized the market for this car in the United States and after successful sales in 1954, he received his first order on this side of the ocean in March 1955. 1400 Gullwings were manufactured from 1954 to 1956 of which 1100 came to the United States distributed by Mr. Hoffman.
"The cramped quarters and the heat control in the coupe led to the development of a roadster with similar chassis but with modifications, such as disc brakes unveiled in 1957. The beautiful lines of the roadster are incomparable for any car of its time. With the 6-cylinder engine tilted it was possible to achieve a low hood line which complemented the functional streamlining of the rest of the car. These cars could engage in various types of road racing, “right out of the box,” from a dealer’s showroom floor. Approximately 26 lightweight (all aluminum body) models pushed their sporting intentions even further."
(Note: This car belonged to Anthony Simeone, the father of museum founder Fred Simeone, and it has been in the family collection for over 40 years. It is in unrestored, original condition.)
