Looking at your screenshot from the Mercedes manual, it does not say that it only works with the SL 63. It also says, "OR for vehicles with the AMG DYNAMIC PLUS package." Might I assume your SL55 has that optional package?

It does not, and it has the standard (red brake calipers) touring suspension.
So perhaps everyone with a new SL can enjoy this very fun feature.
Good to know. I wonder if at first it was not available without the dynamics plus package and the manual is right for when the manual was printed - or the manual was never correct - or it is feature that got added somewhat after the manual was printed - or ???. Anyway glad you have it and I'll have to try it. Haven't as yet but you've inspired me!

SL55 has two trims: Touring and Performance (a $8-9K optional package). Touring tirm SL55 does not do RACE START. Performance trim has Dynamic plus package included.

My 2023 SL55 has the touring (not performance) package and RACE START absolutely works, and it is a blast.
I know that the manual says the opposite but not true, at least on my car.
If it is important to someone I can prove it by taking and posting a video.
