If the eyes are the windows to the soul, hen the dazed peepers on the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG, ith their heavy, ockeyed lids, ould reveal the newest iteration of the hot-rod SL to be an incorrigible drunk with a fondness for the snooze button.

But like many things your granddad told you, t’s poppycock. The SL63 is actually fully alert and has its metaphorical shit together. In fact, t was up hours before you—fresh as a daisy—closing deals like the master of the universe it is.

So ignore the eyes. They mean nothing at all. For soul, ou’ll want to look at the great, tonking hunk of twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V-8 that produces, n base-level form, 30 horsepower and great gobs of torque with no apparent effort. That’s 12 more horsepower than the naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V-8 made in the previous SL63. With so little difference in peak power, ou might wonder why AMG bothered. Indeed, o good was the 6.2-liter that AMG engineers get wistful just talking about it, ven in front of the meddling, udgmental press. Goodness, as it a lusty thing with perfectly linear power delivery, mmediate throttle response, nd an exhaust snarl that would cause wolverines in neighboring states to believe they’d heard the voice of their God.

We’re guessing most owners will love the trick and the engine’s performance. It’s a sort of mobile tsunami of torque. It churns out 590 pound-feet between 2000 and 4500 rpm. That’s a whopping 125 more than the 6.2-liter, hich delivered its torque peak at a comparatively high 5200 rpm. If it isn’t as pure and linear as the old engine, his new one is devastatingly effective. Thanks to this engine and a launch-control system, he SL63 should pop off 0-to-60-mph runs a bit below 4.0 seconds. Opt for the AMG Performance package (an extra $9000 on top of the car’s $146,695 base price), nd AMG turns up the turbo boost, esulting in a total of 557 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. The package also brings red brake calipers, speed limiter pushed from 155 mph to 186, steering wheel partially covered in synthetic suede, nd a locking limited-slip differential. Mercedes officials acknowledge that the take rate on previous boost packages has been minuscule. But let the record state that it is available and not just something that appears on test cars built for the press (although it surely does appear on most of those). Anyway, n SL63 with the AMG Performance package should produce 0-to-60 times of about 3.7 seconds. Also, ercedes estimates that the new SL63 (thanks in part to an annoying but easily defeated stop-start system) gets significantly better fuel economy than before.
