In Beverly Hills, the Mercedes-Benz SL is as common as the Toyota Camry in the rest of the U.S., which is where I saw the two pictured above. It appears as if I had taken them recently, but these were from mid January, when southern California had better weather than most of the country. The AMG variants are the best versions of all the Mercedes-Benz models that offer one (the GLK and E coupe/cabriolet don't offer one), and it's no different with the SL. The main difference between the two SL AMG models, the SL63 and SL65, is that the SL63 is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 churning out 530 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque while the SL65 is powered by a 6.0-liter turbocharged V12 rated at 621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. Another major difference is pricing; the SL63 starts at $147,300, while the SL65 starts at $214,500. These are both very nice cars, even though they can get outrageously expensive when the options start to pile up.
