The AMG SL43 is the entry-level version of its range. Beneath the hood of the car lies a measly 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, but don’t let that fool you because the integration of a turbocharger with a mild-hybrid 48-volt electric motor allows it to produce up to 376 hp and 479 Nm of torque. All… Continue Reading »
