He said it has 518HP and over 600 pound-feet of torque. Did I miss something?

He also said it is a double-clutch transmission. Isn't it just an automatic with a torque converter that locks up?

AMG's have good resale value, I think the only cars with worse resale are the Audi S/RS models.


Granted the guy know his cars and is a huge MB fan but he missed it a little here.

it has 525hp in somesites and 517in others, the car has less than 600 torque as the SL55 had 516. its a 7speed with a torque converter as you mentioned and resale value is bad.

He was prob thinking of the sl65 at first, but he did quote the correct torque figure later during the show.

Dont know about resale though lol
