Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryWhen you consider the kind of money it takes to buy a new 2023 SL, maybe it doesn’t matter that regular irritations are a part of the driving experience. After all, this is a car designed to convey a message to society, but this year, it costs tens of thousands less to send that message, thanks to the new SL 43 model. It has a four-cylinder engine with an electric turbocharger and makes 375 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. However, we reviewed a more powerful version of the SL. | |
