The Wait Is Over For The Mercedes-AMG SL

At the end of October last year,Mercedes-AMG revealed its all-new SL roadster. It's been touted as a proper luxury grand tourer and can even be hadwith bespoke fitted luggage, but it's also promised to offer the lightness and handling ability to behave like a true sports car. Manhart is alreadyworking on tuning upgrades for the drop-top, but before you can take advantage of such packages, you'll need the actual car first. So when can you place an order? Well, the wait is over and Mercedes has opened orders for the svelte sports car just in time for the start of spring.

As you'd expect, there are a number of options available. 12 paint finishes are on offer, including two SL-exclusive colors: Hyper Blue Metallic and Manufaktur Monza Grey Magno, a matte finish. Three roof color options are available too, along with five exterior design packages: AMG Aerodynamics Package, AMG Carbon Package, AMG Chrome Package, AMG Night Package, and AMG Night Package II. Nine wheel variants are on offer, with SL 55 models getting 19-inch AMG multispoke wheels as standard and the SL 63 riding on 20-inch rims. 21-inch options are among those offered, including one with forged construction. So what does it cost to get one of these new convertibles?
