    Next-Gen Mercedes SL To Go Hybrid And Share Components With Next AMG GT

    It is known that the current Mercedes-Benz SL has had a rather tough life in terms of sales. A lot of the time automakers phase out the model to get around the problem, but Mercedes has taken a slightly different route; it will make the next generation SL more focused, sharing a number of components with the next AMG-GT.

    The next Mercedes SL is said to leap quite a significant step ahead of the current model. For starters, it will ride on the brand’s Modular Sports Architecture (MSA) which will also be found underpinning the next-gen AMG-GT. Furthermore, the platform is not the only element both models are set to share; it is said that the next generation SL and AMG GT will have the same suspension, steering system and axles.

    The duet from Mercedes will also make use of s 48-volt electric architecture as well as an array of hybrid powertrains. Kicking off the SL range will be the SL450 EQ Boost with a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six engine enhanced by a small electric motor. This entry-level model will produce a combined power output of around 387 hp (288 kW).

    Sitting above the SL450 EQ Boost will be an AMG-tuned SL53. Although using the same powertrain as the entry-level mock-up, power figures in this model will be around 450 hp (335 kW). Mercedes-AMG’s 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 will also be invited to the dance, powering the SL500 EQ Boost and of course the SL63, we can expect to get a more powerful SL63 S as well. A V12-powered model hasn’t been emphasised on.

    With the mechanical upgrades and new underpinnings, the new Mercedes SL will also look quite different to the current model. With a fabric roof substituting the current folding hard-top as well as a rearward-positioned cabin, the Mercedes SL will feature a sleeker design as well as a low center of gravity when it arrives in 2020.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
