Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG previewed

While Michael and Nico were taking the covers off the new F1 W03 Mercedes decided it would be a good time to sneak out its new SL63 AMG for a quick spin around the Circuit de Catalunya.

Based on the new sixth-gen SL the range topping AMG version uses a 5.5 litre twin-turbo V8. The M157, as seen in other AMG models, has been tuned to produce almost 400kW. Following the welcome trend of shedding weight, the new model has lost 125kg compared to its predecessor.

Full details will be released as the Geneva Motor Show draws closer.
