Mercedes-AMG SL63 Gained A Monstrous 700 Horsepower
by AutoExpert | 3 July, 2023
The new Mercedes-AMG SL63 looks incredible after being modified by Manhart. The tuner is proudly calling it the Manhart SL 700 R.
The exterior now proudly displays the tuner's trademark black/gold color scheme. Manhart Forged Line wheels by mbDESIGN have replaced the previous standard wheels. These 22-inch alloys are finished in black with gold accents, and they are shod with Hankook Ventus S1 Evo2 tires in sizes 295/30 in front and 335/25 in the back.
The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine's 577 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque are standard. Manhart went one step further and added a new air filter, a MHtronik powerbox, and a redesigned intercooler. The result is a staggering 697 horsepower and 690 lb-ft of torque.
In addition, the tuning company modified the AMG Speedshift MCT 9G gearbox. However, Manhart's OPF delete sport downpipes with 600-cell catalytic converters are not TUV-approved in Germany and are therefore limited to the export market. According to Manhart, they will only manufacture 10 units of the SL 700 R in this specific configuration.
