Vehicle Description
SERVICED & INSPECTED......Cool Quiet ConfidenceEvery move the 2013 SL550 makes is steeped in a competent laid-back confidence; pin the throttle and the car takes a moment to gather itself as if saying to the driver Okay dude you ready? This is gonna be pretty awesome. And with that the seven-speed automatic downshifts the twin turbos gorge themselves on air and the whole shebang takes off pulling hard to an observed 159-mph top speed (Mercedes claims an electronically limited 155).Life in the fast lane is calm and cool extra confidence baked into the chassis by the SLs suite of electronic gizmos including the standard stability control with brake-based torque vectoring and optional Automatic Body Control electronic dampers. Guided by inputs from 13 sensors the latter is said to reduce body roll versus a car without ABC by 68 percent in normal mode and 95 percent in sport mode. Casual observers will never know its working; a perceptive semiprofessional racing driver riding shotgun with us during the cars media launch found it amusing however stating Wow it feels like theres a lot going on. Moving toward the maximum 0.94 g of grip the system keeps the body flat before delivering some roll at the limit. The electrically assisted variable-ratio rack-and-pinion steering is quick on-center and the car goes exactly where you point it but its not among the leaders in road feel.
