2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG® SL 55 Roadster: Performance
The 2022 SL 55 Roadster is the latest in a long tradition of sports cars that take attention to detail to new levels. Unlike other models on the market, it possesses a handcrafted engine, making its performance an equal extension of technology and art. The engine is a handcrafted AMG® 4.0L V8 biturbo, which is paired with an AMG® SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 9G 9-speed automatic transmission.
This engine configuration is what gives the 2022 SL 55 Roadster its impressive on-road power. You can expect power outputs to reach up to 469 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. It runs on premium unleaded gasoline, which fills the 18.5-gallon fuel tank, keeping you on the road longer.
When looking into acceleration, the 2022 SL 55 Roadster has a 3.8-second time from going 0 to 60 MPH. While this can be influenced by outside factors like terrain and environment, you can expect to really open it up on a stretch of highway. This is the racing car for the open road, and you’re free to make a stylish impression as you clear the green.

The seats themselves are influenced by sculpture, giving them a unique look and feel. Your body will feel at home in them. There are also advanced displays with an angle-adjusting central touchscreen and a console whose shape echoes a NACA duct.
