Do 2015 and newer SL63 all have the power pack or are they still designated in the build sheet to include this option?
thanks for any clarification. I did search but could not find the answer

Thats not a option, they just increased the hp in 15. All 15 up got increased hp. 13-14 was 577. 15up is 577. That had nothing to do with the perf pkg. The magazine is insinuating it did, but they are wrong

I have looked at a lot of 15's and 16's and have not seen P30 on any of them. You may be correct but does anyone have that option on a m.y. 15 or 16?

13-14 was 557 then 15 up was 577. Its a software increase. i think they dont have the perf pkg on 15 up, its all standard. But you have to pay for CF engine cover, red brake calipers, some other odd things

are you saying you have to get red calipers and cf engine cover to get the other aspects of the former perf pack?

What I want is the locking diff, improved engine internals from the SLS and the bigger brakes.

Do you know if 2017 brings more of these standard than even the 2015?
thanks, John

The article was actually correct. MY13-14 base power for the SL63 was 530hp, P30 upgraded it to 557.

Here is the P30 option contents for MY13 and MY14:

AMG Performance Package SL63 AMG: $9,000
  • U70– Red painted brake calipers
  • 251 – Top Speed Raised to 186mph
  • 923 – Additional Power (557 hp and 664 lb-ft)
  • 281 – AMG Performance Steering Wheel with DINAMICA side grips
  • 471 – Limited slip rear differential
  • Carbon Fiber Engine Cover
In MY15+, they upped the power to 577 and included LSD (option 471) and removed P30 as a bundled option. They did not make everything in the P30 package standard (e.g. red calipers were an option).

thanks for the clarification.
Here's another question. I see some m.y. 16's and 17's have a designation for a code 486 for a sports suspension. Question is I thought that was done on the dial in the car and that sports suspension was solely a function of dial settings. Any ideas on how that works/
MB guy said there was no stand alone sports suspension and it was as stated above, but I did find a 2017 with the 486 labeled sports suspension??
