New Mercedes AMG SL55 meets original 300SL Roadster - Meet the Ancestors | Feature | Autocar India

The latest Mercedes SL Roadster has been developed by AMG and is as much a sporstcar as it is an open-top grand tourer. And unlike some previous SLs, that means it has more in common than ever with the original SL Roadster - the iconic 300SL of the 1950s. Shapur Kotwal takes the new SL 55 on a journey to meet its illustrious ancestor.

Ive been following autocar for a really long time now. Their video editing and videography has gone to another level recently. Kudos team autocar , looks so professional now

[@alimirza7907]

Yes, very nice editing. But this is 2023, they can upload the video quality to 4K @ 60fps resolution!

[@Sidharth_k]

@@alimirza7907 ya they still gotta go upto mkbhd hd standards , but I guess they atleast understood the need of improving 😅

This is a genius-level post with so many great details: braking and steering not comparable to a newer car, of course.

[@cannotthinkofoneatth]

great cinematic indulgence with some cool editing

[@ChidambarakrishnanK]

I think you missed the feedback of Mr. Gonda about the new SL55. Only Mr. Shapur can give such interesting videos. I've been a fan of him for over 10 years - be it in print or videos.

[@aviralsrivastava7314]

I wish someone had a 300sl gullwing in India.😊
