2007 Mercedes-Benz SL550 featured by Naples Luxury Cars. An all-new powerplant, a 4-cam, 4-valve-per-cylinder 5.5-liter V-8 that sends 382 bhp and 391 lb.-ft. of torque through a new 7-speed automatic transmission with pushbutton shifters on the steering wheel. Notably, this smooth aluminum-block engine - first seen in the large S550 sedan and benefiting from a two-stage intake manifold and continuously variable valve timing - gives the new SL550 the same EPA fuel economy (16 mpg city/24 mpg highway) as last year's SL500, but with an increase of 80 horsepower and 52 lb.-ft. of torque.
It can be felt. The SL550 accelerates more quickly (it's able to reach 100 km/h [62 mph] in 5.4 seconds, says Mercedes), and the shifts of the 7-speed automatic are so smooth that they're almost easier heard (via the car's slightly rumblier exhaust) than felt. An optional AMG Sport Package is a wise choice for enthusiast drivers, as it allows for 30-percent-quicker shifts (in manual mode) and has paddle shifters replacing the buttons.
