I bought it !

Yes, I am the proud owner of a brand new SL63 R231 , collecting it at the
weekend or sooner. She is Diamond white pearl, anthracite interior and
20 inch black rims, also a full carbon fibre pack. Next week I have booked
a re map to 621 bhp and 695 Ilb ft of torque.
Pictures to follow.

You are sure running through all the best Benz has to offer.

I'm curious to see how you like the Bi-turbo V8 compared to the Bi-Turbo V12.

Horsepower should be about the same, but the SL65 should still have a significant advantage in torque. Then again, because the torque comes on instantly in the V12, I would not be surprised at all if the new SL63 feels faster.

Ah but it is. the one that's missing is the 2008-2012 SL63.
AND no I didn't buy a R231 just because it is LOL.
