It’s time for an AMG SL showdown!!
We’ve got our hands on the all-new Mercedes-AMG SL 55, and it’s about to go head-to-head over the quarter-mile against a classic SL 55 from 2004!
So which is better? Well, let’s check out the stats! The old SL rolls up with a 5.5-litre supercharged V8 under the bonnet that can normally deliver 490hp and 700Nm. However, the one we’ve got our hands on has been tuned, and can now deliver 625hp! It s equipped with RWD, and it weighs in at 1,885kg.
As for the new SL, the supercharged V8 has been swapped for a 4-litre twin-turbo V8. This can put down 476hp and 700Nm, which means it’s down on power compared to the tuned SL. However, it has one key advantage… It comes with AWD!
So what do you think, will it be a clean sweep for the new SL? And more importantly, will it show that it’s worth the eye-watering £147,000 price tag?!
There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

I had an 04 E55. I would take it to the drag strip a couple of times a year. It ran consistently 12.7s at 113. The SL is slightly quicker. I tried a variety of ways to launch it, but the best was no power breaking, just mash the gas, let the electronics do their thing. Power breaking actually slowed it down and put it into the 13's

I even race my SL at AutoX and Hillclimbs, and push it to it's limits - still no ABC problems even after a couple years of this. I believe these components need to be replaced after a decade or so (due to rubber and other wear-and-tear materials), but once they are, they should last at least another 10 years or so.

The gearbox is really the biggest let down in the old one. The 722.6 5 speed in stock form is a bit disappointing given the older Mercedes automatics shifter much much quicker, pretty much instantaneously when the downshift button was depressed. The 722.6 can be made to shift like that with some modifications or an aftermarket controller (I have one with an OF Gear controller in a W124).

Ive run 12.18 in a stock 04 on a drag strip so I don't think there'd be much difference. As for these two, I think these two on a prepped drag strip, launched properly, would be damn close. The old SL needs traction off of the line and would benefit a lot more by being on a prepped strip than the new SL.
@stevenfarrington2361
@stevenfarrington2361 Год назад
The difference is the gearbox and the software programs throughout the cars. The computer hardware powering the gearbox, traction control, even the engine and fly by wire system is primitive compared to today’s tech and this is the major issue. Add in four extra gears and the generation gap becomes a chasm. One should not underestimate the power of a dual clutch gearbox to improve a vehicle’s overall efficiency.

The SL55AMG has a special place in my heart, early 2000s and just turned 20 years old, a more than a few memories of doing silly speeds down the local bypass with that glorious noise, the newer stuff is undoubtedly quicker and even the facelift R230 SL63 was a big step up dynamically but I still prefer the supercharged V8 brute. The only thing better than a SL55 is a SL65, definitely doesn’t have the noise but is monstrously fast.

Pre gen SL probably could do with a gearbox remap for better response. The older SL is better designed and probably build quality. And definitely sounds the nuts Thanks to the viewer loaning his SL.👍

I previously owned an sl 55 AMG silver arrow. The car was absolutely bananas, with Good power, a gun ride, and a classic look, special the silver-on-red combo. On the downside, the repairs were nonstop, even with an MB certified independent shop. The supercharger overheated, so the "Bosh 110" pump was a must. The dreadfully "Air matic" suspension is always a time ticking bomb waiting for a "Particular" line of seal to brake. The Rodeo suspension checkup was hilarious tho. The convertible top needed an adjustment and a motor replacement also changed the seals of the convertible top to stop Miami's nonstop rain coming in. Will I ever own a 2001-2007 SL 55 AMG again - probably not, but I always thought the s65 AMG twin-turbo power plant was the sweet spot.
