- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Roadster is all new and redesigned. This is the sixth generation of the iconic Mercedes-Benz and the new car is loaded with the latest new technology including a new magnesium retractable hardtop that can fold and stow away in 15 seconds. The new 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Roadster also has a bi-turbo V8 that pumps out 429 horsepower and an astounding 516 lb-ft or torque. Check out this review as we spend a week with the new SL to see if it is a worthy car to carry on the long tradition of the most recognizable Mercedes-Benz automobile.

Duh! The stupid cover in the trunk does NOT protect your stuff. It protects your ROOF. Because if you load it with something sticking up above that level accidentially, it might poke / damage your roof as it folds back. And yes, therefore the stupid cover has to be in place properly, or else the car doesn't "know" whether it is save to lower the roof. Is that not easy to see? Especially in America, where you get sued for every fuck-wittery... well done Mercedes, I can totally see how this reviewer would have destroyed the roof by the end of the week ;)
I still don't understand how people say the car looks like designed by 3 different people. I can clearly see a line when viewed from the side.
That's the road (left hand canyon) from Highway 36 outside of Boulder heading up to Ward and the Peak to Peak Highway.
Great video, just bought this car, same year/color.
This is the best review from TFL yet. I have a feeling that if i were to have this car for the day, id probably come to similar conclusions. Thanks!
The 2013 SL is a perfect sports car for an older gentleman. I'm 61 and I have one! God is good!
Iam in my 30s and i love it, class sport and a hardtop convertible whats not to love about it
You are a yes man. You like every car you review.
Pardon my French....but kill the fucking music plz!!!! You guys a killing your reviews with that noice during AND between your comments!!!!
Hey Roman, any idea when you guys will be able to review the Focus ST? Love the channel btw, you guys have the best reviews on youtube!
Man that's amasing !!! So fast !! So luxurious !!!
And remember Roman, that 516 lb-ft is in the base engine. I really like how this car looks, especially with the top off.
Hi. I have a 2013 SL 550 and adore it! But Mercedes says the SL stands for "Super" Light, not Sport Light. Fyi. I love your channel. by the way.
normal sea-level, I've hit 60 in 4.2 seconds. You can also do a psuedo-launch control in this car which is just fun!
Love the review btw! (And I love the car! Interior is AMAZING!) And that torque!
That are going up in value in the resale market,,,hard top gone in 2021.....hang on to her if you own one..love the 2013 SL 550..❤️❤️❤️😉👍👍👍it is so understated....everyone wants AMG...🙄 IMPO, not worth the money, do a ECU tune 429hp to 545, trq 516 to 715....it’s insane...love the 2013 SL 550
I have had mine for a year. I have NEVER had a car with so many rattles. In addition when traveling between about 43 and 53 MPH there is a thumping sound like air compression. I wouldn't buy another at this price and end up with a car that has rattles that drive me crazy. BTW styling and performance are outstanding. But to pay over $100,000 and have the car with significant rattles and then a thumping sound the dealer's mechanic tells me to "live with" I don't recommend buying one.
Waiting on arrival of my Fire opal red w/ tan n brown interior. Paid $37,990. 32K miles!! Super excited. Never had an $100+K car!
roman, you are doing a great job as always but where has nathan been??
Nathan is on Vacation in Vegas this week but he'll be back next week with a Mustang mashup.
That car is awesome! I think it looks good to!
Amazing machine
the looks are growing on me
isnt it supose to not close for safety reasons?
sounds great
Should've reviewed the epic stereo
oh no! hd isnt ready yet...guess ill have to come back later and watch
Easily the best looking car on the road.
I agree!
Same here! I would buy an SLK too, this is nice but too much for a convertible IMO
That looks like a stingray guys, I can't wait!
why don't you get rid of the camera man when doing the 0-60 test. have him film from outside when you launch the car and when his camera loses sight you switch over to the go pro camera that you mount on the inside(passenger window maybe?)...
I have one of these. Not beautiful but a great GT. It's fast , comfortable, good as a coupe and convertible, easy to work the entertainment and gets 25mpg.
vs800rider can you open the roof while driving !!
You can get these for under 30k now. Well worth the money
Hmm. It looks to me like Mercedes is calling the same car the SL500 in Europe and the SL550 in the US. Why is that? Does Mercedes beleive, that americans think 550 is more than 500, or whats up? And actually its a 4,5 liter turbocharged V8 anyway, so why not call it the SL450? These numbers are getting very silly and pointless with several german automakers, and this is perhaps the clearest example yet.
Nice car...
I like the front, hate the rims and rear
If you think this is fast take a look at the SL65 that thing is a beast.
a tip : you can watch movies on kaldroStream. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Christopher Jeffery yup, I've been using KaldroStream for since november myself :D
@Christopher Jeffery Yup, have been using KaldroStream for months myself =)
Mercedes Benz....Best ccar in the world ♥
agreed
I guess MB has to put lots of features to justify the price. And what a price!
Y'all misspelled Mercedes
love how the horses walk away at the end. lol, Ferrari is pissed
I have a 2005 metallic blue Mercedes slk 350 6 speed manual. This car is just too much. Mine was the best alternative and last year to come in manual
I like the m6 more
I'm a sucker for any new merc and I love the looks of this thing lol .... haters be damned. Way too much front overhang though ... very un-mercedes like.
Wealthy people lease these kinds of cars. They don't like buying assets that depreciate so fast.
this. unfortunately the people who would buy this are most likely to buy it to show off, rather than wanting that true roadster experience.
4.8 at 6000 feet elevation
My mustang top comes down in 1 sec coz I manual'd it
SL says Mercedes even more than 3 Series says BMW IMO
Вот это тачка, не то что ваша Priora Coupe Sport
LOL 30MPG but no where near the performance of this car!! So it is very bright!! I will agree yours looks far better though!! But yeah put it in perspective, had your 1998 had this much power it would have got 10MPG
The new SL bristles with technology like the electrochromic glass in the roof which is cool. There is no doubt the car is quick with the real world 0 - 60 times it can generate. All that said however the thing is hideous looking.
porn music;;; ahhh aahhh ahhh ahhhh
cut the FCKN music!!!
I would rather have a new slk with the same chrome air vents, airscarf, magic skyroof and hardtop combo also, in a better looking package for half the price, with useable power and the 3 pointed star still present!
You are correct, this car is not attractive. The previous generation was actually much more attractive. The big problem with this car is that it is too complicated and it will break, and when it breaks it will break your bank account.
iN tHE nEAR fUTURE tHIS cAR wILL bE nECLEAR pOWERED
he was stuffed in the trunk... oh wait.....
wow yall spell "mercedes" wrong
Nope - and all of my teeth are where they are supposed to be. But, thanks for caring!

For people with more money then brains
Ha! "Mercedez" FAIL!
that thing is hideous
UGLY COLOR! MY 2015 PEARL WHITE IS A BEAUTY!
