ROAD TEST | MERCEDES SL63

Tara Weingarten

The new seven-speed sports transmission shifts quickly and responds like a manual transmission but with the ease of an automatic. Go, man, go.

- Mileage: 12mpg city, 17 highway

- Engine: 6.3-liter, V-8

- Price: $136,425

- Site: mbusa.com

- Airscarf: Don’t suffer a chill with the top down. Push a button and warm air circulates like a cashmere muffler through the ever-so-comfy head restraints.

- Interior: A new AMG sport steering wheel with shifter paddles is ergonomic and substantial in hand; a “Racetimer” will keep track of your lap times.

- Performance: Hits 60mph in just 4.7 seconds. The car is low, flat and stable on tight curves at very high speeds.
