Twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 a bit much? How about a 2.0-litre four-pot with an electric turbo instead...
No matter what you thought of the all-new Mercedes SL's styling, there seemed little doubt that it was launching with performance to spare. No surprise perhaps, with Mercedes-AMG in charge of the model's development, but- both powered by the familiar 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 and driving all four wheels - left little to the imagination. And probably positioned the car well beyond the mindset of most 2+2 convertible buyers.
Where previous incarnations might have used an additional compressor, in the SL an electric motor around four centimetres wide is integrated directly onto the turbocharger shaft between the turbine wheel on the exhaust side and the compressor wheel on the intake side. As you might imagine, this electronically controlled motor is used to drive the shaft of the turbocharger before the exhaust gases start to spin it conventionally.
Before you answer that query in your own head, there's good reason to think that the SL43 will not want for refinement either. Thanks to the requirements of its dinky electric motor, the model gets a 48-volt electrical system - and because it's brand spanking new, it also benefits from a second-generation starter generator, which means a) it functions as a mild hybrid in glide mode, and b) it provides an additional boost of 14hp when the chips are down.
