Ride control
New to forum. Question: is AMG Ride Control the same as MBC in S Class and ABC in SL? I'm speaking in the comfort mode, i.e., does Ride Control soften the ride?

Actually no. MBC/ABC is a fully active hydraulic suspension. AMG GT's ride on springs. AMG ride control gets you adjustable dampers which feature 3 different modes. Your SL would have two modes (Comfort, Sport). The AMG GT will ride harder in Comfort than the SL in Sport. The ride will be a bit firmer yet if you have a car with Dynamic Plus which tightens the suspension settings a bit more.

THAT answers my question. Thanks, I was looking for AMG styling with some element of comfort. Apparently, I'm 'in the wrong pew'. LOL

I came from a 2014 SL550 and its not a major difference, Seats are much less plush though. Not had any complaints from my wife either.

Exactly. Nothing better than trying it out personally. Also, the GT model is a touch softer than the GTC. Not sure what model you had in mind.
