SL63 AMG Gets More Power
Who's ready to buy more tires?

The 585 horsepower number is a large 48 horsepower bump over the current engine, while torque jumps a massive 74 pound feet, which will make the tire destruction even easier off the line. The updated engine brings power figures in line with the new S63 AMG Coupe.P
And while AMG hates tires, this means that tire makers love AMG, since they get to sell even more pieces of rubber to AMG owners than they would normally.P
The 2015 SL63 AMG will go on sale soon with no price announced, though it should be broadly similar to the current car. If you're behind one, be sure you're able to see through the cloud of tire smoke that will inevitably be produced as it accelerates off the line.

SL 63 W/B AMG , S600,C220
If the extra power is going to cost dear, you may as well have it done by a reputable company for a few grand, the MB upgrade cost about 10 grand
with a small increase and AMG dust caps
Mine cost 2 grand and should have 630. You certainly feel the extra, plus
a load more wastegate noise. I would like to see what a tweaked one's
drag time is.
