German tuning studio Mansory continues to take customers away from Brabus, because Brabus has not yet hired the latest Mercedes-AMG SL generation R232, while Mansory already has several upgrade options for this model, including a completely fresh one with a wide body kit and powerful doping.
Mercedes-Benz introduced the new SL in the fall of 2021, its the stock top version of the SL 63 4Matic + is equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine (585 hp, 800 Nm) paired with a 9-speed AMG Speedshift “automatic”, acceleration to 100 km/h takes 3.6 s, maximum speed — 315 km/h. This is the version Mansory took as the basis for their monstrous conversion.
Mansory customers are already accustomed to rather aggressive carbon fiber body kits, in this case it includes an enlarged splitter in the front bumper, grille and side air intakes of the front bumper, side canards, a new hood with air vents, wheel arch extensions and sills, air ducts in front fenders, an overlay on the upper edge of the windshield frame, Batman-style mirror housings (with wings), an advanced spoiler on the trunk lid and a more aggressive rear bumper with a new “four-barreled” exhaust sticking out of it (rectangular pipes in stock). Mansory branded wheels complete the look — openwork FY.5 or massive FD.15, like the car in the photographs. Tire sizes are 275/35 R 21 front and 335/25 R 22 rear.

The cabriolet interior received a completely new upholstery (the steering wheel is covered with suede in the main grip areas), new aluminum pedals, numerous carbon fiber inserts and new Mansory floor mats. Projector lamps are integrated into the doors: when the doors are opened, these lamps project Mansory emblems on the ground. The trunk is completely lined with quilted leather. The specific color palette is limited only by the customer's imagination.

Mansory's description of engineering tuning is, as always, stingy, but all the key figures are given: the M 177 engine thanks to more powerful turbochargers and a new control program in the P720 version produces 720 hp. and 1000 Nm, in the P850 version — 850 hp. and 1150 Nm. In the first case, the acceleration time to 100 km/h is reduced to 3.4 s, the maximum speed is increased to 325 km/h. The P850 version of the car picks up the first «hundred» in 3.2 seconds and accelerates to a maximum of 332 km/h.
1/2 retrospective series Mythos, within which several exclusive models will be released, including a “humped” roadster based on the current Mercedes-AMG SL. Surely Mansory will take this model to work, or offer its own analogue.
