Hard top?

Is there a hardtop option, or wil there be?
also thoughts on whether there will be a 63s version?
any guesses as to pricing?
my AD told me 25k over, is that market?
I have never been there in fairness.

No, soft tops are in, hard tops are out.

There likely will not be a 63S but rather a 63E using similar hybrid technology to the upcoming GT4D 63E.

Most likely going to be similar to the last SL550 and 63 with a bit of inflation (+ $5-10k). Won't be cheap. As for ADM's, these will vary by dealer and relationships with said dealers. I imagine $25k will be very common as this is a new and lower volume AMG product.

No hardtop. Those are done for good and wouldn't work for a 2+2 layout.
AMG is coming out with the next AMG GT based on the same platform (https://www.motorauthority.com/news/...g-gt-spy-shots) although they are likely a more hardcore version in suspension/performance.
There will be no SL63s coming. The top-line version will be the SL63 ePerformance (used to be called SL73 in prior speculations) towards the end of 2022 (early 23 in the US).

Still think that the price point will be $140k/$170k +/- $5k-$8k. As for ADM, nobody should pay that if they have a good dealer relationship but markets vary and being the first can cost extra. I wouldn't be one of them...
