Mercedes SL63 AMG

Yes, the SL55 is going to be leaving us soon in favour of the new monster, the SL63 with a naturally aspirated V8 6.2 litre and a rather interesting look.

The 518BHP makes it a huge power monster, something which is to be expected in the SL range. The 4.6 seconds to sixty should see most cars being burned off rather quickly, while they look at the styled rear of your vehicle with lust in their eyes.

Of course there's a 'multiclutch' meaning that you have the paddle shifts and four different options in shift speed, which should reduce any neck jarring when you're hitting the road hard. It should also mean that you can actually park the thing - something that's always a challenge when you have an automatic.

The look of the car might not be for everyone - it's actually extremely aggressive and nicely curved at the front. Moreover, the interior shows the usual style that Mercedes is known for in their top range models.

The bottom line is if you can afford this you're one lucky person. You get the best of both worlds in terms of performance, exotica and luxury...
