I saw one parked the other day, black on black with the gold callipers peeping out, and from that moment on I will never understand why all the comments on its looks, to me it looked great

"bipolar" I think it's one of the best definition of any AMG vehicle ^^

I have no clue why people say it's ugly. It's fucking gorgeous if you see its details.

You really have to see these in person to appreciate them. I had my reservations, but then I saw a couple in the flesh earlier this year and it all starts to make sense.Long low and classy.

There's nothing ugly about this car, it's just incredibly stealthy. That low long and menacing look this car has is amazing in person. Ugly? I doubt it. But it is kind of scary looking. Black on black wheels with gold calipers - indicating carbon ceramics - this thing is one of the best looking AMG Mercs on the road. They're so rare too.

Chris... man, you ROCK. I love your reviews. They are spot one, very revealing and always entertaining. Keep it up. I do love this car and yes, i agree, its Bipolar thats why is "bi-turbo."

I have this car, with the performance package and Designo design. Awesome fun. I am not the driver Mr. Harris is. But , it is bi-polar. I simply love it

9 years later and I return knowing full well that the car landscape is changing for the worse. God bless this engine and bless you Chris Harris for your continued journalistic optimism

This was the peak of KZfaq

if only there were more people like harris review cars. he can always strike a balance between having enough good driving shots, and giving a good in depth summery of the automobile that he is driving........

Chris Harris on Cars... The best program on the drive network hands down. Keep it up man.

Awesome video! I've always loved the SL series. Glad you picked this car to review!

The Drive Network... The best channel on youtube hands down. Keep it up guys.

Those tires never stood a chance... Awesome review! Short and sweet and to the point!

Great review, I wish this model had the previous model's styling with all the current attributes! Seating looks awesome. Thanks Chris!

he expressed all my emotions towards this car ! One of the best reviews ever Chris !

I don't know why guys are so in love with you, Chris, but you are a great reviewer. Great show

Look at those seats!! Luxury.

I Have A 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS, 5 Speed Manual Transmission, 2.4 4 cylinder, I made a mistake by Revving the engine in my Car to one of these Beasts at a stop light, When the Light came Green, The race was over before it even started, These cars are amazing machines, The Engine Sounded like it had a Rabid Pitbull underneath the hood. Incredible performance.

Chris Harris is awesome! And the drive channel is the best automotive based series of shows out there period. They need a television network it's all I'd ever watch

This car is beautiful. Awesome review and driving as always Chris.

Another 5 star video. You drive these sports cars the way they should be driven: with style. Keep it up.

Very good Chris! Interesing, informative and no BS review, i like it very much. Thanks for doing it! As a suggestion i might add that you would use a lens hood the next time for in-car camera (canon 60d?) to get rid a bit of the lens flare. The sound quality is amazing, good job on that! Oh and also would have loved to hear you elaborate on the eletro-mechanic power steering.

I have a 2014 and absolutely love this German Muscle car. It delivers the thrills of late 60’s and early 70’s AMERICAN muscle with German quality and superb engineering. I love the Muscle look of the car, and the hard top convertible is amazing. A good used low mile example is one of the best automotive examples on the market for anyone who actually drives their prize, but they also look good in the garage with other toys.

I really hope you do a rewiew of the SL 65 AMG when the time comes Chris.Your rewiews are the best.

the amount of rubber chris harris has left on public roads throughout the world has to be measured in the tons. great episode as usual.

Chris is, by far, the best car reviewer I know.

Fantastic, I've been thinking about watching this all day!

when Chris Harris is involved...its always a great review :)

its all about of the point of taste - this car looks fabulous gorgeously. I love this stylish silhouette.

He's probably not the best at it, but I'm not sure why I enjoy watching him drift all these cars week after week. Short video, but entertaining as always. Thanks Chris.

Another great video Chris!

bipolar is the perfect word for that car! Great stuff as always!

yes ..you can open it just before you achieving the 60 km/h speed..just be stopped for safety and not get issues in the operation fast in the future

KZfaq... The best website on the Internet hands down. Keep it up google. (Srsly: amazing episode as usual, although you've spoiled us in recent episodes by giving us many many minutes of viewing pleasure. 7 seems like little by comparison, although that's probably only due to being short-staffed. you're a class act, mr Harris)

Mercedes SL63 Bi-Turbo AMG is very tail happy here with stability control minimized and very powerful...grandpa was crazy about having the first Mercedes in Vienna; his tail needed to hang out more.

It's time for MB to do an update of this car, improve the styling.

I'm starting to love these sort of split personality cars. Cars like the F10 M5, and this new SL63 AMG are very exciting in the sense that it's quiet and collected one moment, and then push it, and then there will be a mountain of smoke behind you.

Those seats look incredible

Fantastic car!Perfect color and those black rims-awesome!10/10

This looks awesome, and yeah like a lot of people already proven, much more beautiful than the previous year models :)

Interior is SICK.

Great and entertaining review!

great vid Chris! :D

Not usually a Merc fan, but damn I love this car!

saw this car in person passing past my school and i was like woooowww what is that. really amazing car.

It would be interesting to see a series from Chris of possibly his "all time favorite cars" or "cars he has owned" or "Cars he grew up with."

This car is Amazing!! if you look at it in Real Life its just plain perfection, saw one at the dealership the other day.

Great review as always, i like it, wonder tho how much cheaper it is than an sls roadster, not really comparable but wonder if the sls is worth the extra money

Well i just did a test drive of the sl400 and the sl63 in london park royal, now the diffrence is insaine, however to be honest the sl400 is also very very nice and in sport plus it sounds crazy on down shift and still very fast... the sl63 is just a beast full stop.. it burys me in tje seat and the sales guy next to me u see his face turn from smile to cracked concrete lol in just like what feels like 3 seconds to 80mph from a rolling drive, its a beastly push on ur chest, but its a diffrent push its a long smooth rush of g force and fcuk it makes u smile so much.. every one looks . And its not a ugly looking car, in person its awesome especially in gunmetal metalic or mat grey wrap. And bronze rims.. Anyway theres a black series bodykit out by some polish or usa firm on ebay, it transforms it into a rhino tank thing .. with the baddest vented hulk bonnet i seen. Its in dark grey the bodykit images.. mercedes sl 231 black series wide body..

As usual with a Chris Harris video, I watched it twice.

Totally agree. It does everything but it could look a bit better. The facelift version of the outgoing model (2008 - 2011 I think) was a better looking car to my eye. Not that this is ugly, it just doesn't blow my mind every time I look at it like the previous one.

Excellent car journalism. I'm wondering what Chris' thoughts would be on the SL65 with the V12. Even more bonkers I assume!

Beautiful video, wonderful vehicle.

The people that that critique these cars should own them and maintain them for a while like this man. A ten or twelve year old model that has been maintained you will have what you see in this video.

The new SLK and SL design is a love or hate thing. They are trying to progress and have a more futuristic look so thats why you have the odd shaped lights and hard lines on the front bumper and grill. Personally, I like the 2012 - 2013 Mercedes line up, and especially the astounding work AMG is doing with there cars.

What a brilliant car and a really good review. :)

Chris Harris, living the dreams of many here.

Very nice short reveiw. I fully agree to what he said at the end, i too wish is looked better. Compared to the previous SL this isnt as agressive looking. Have seen a few of these new, both SL and SLK and i do not like the front as much as i want to.

"i wish it could look a little better" I mean seriously what do u want it to look like !!!!!! cause to me it looks PERFECT

bi turbo is another term for sequential turbo, one smaller one for low rpm and a larger one for high rpm, in an effort to reduce lag, and twin turbo means 2 turbos the same size

Those seats look SOOOOO comfortable.

Kings' Seats, look at them

very good publicity, thanks for uploading the video

Dunno why Bizz favorited this but I shall watch. Maybe this is where he gets ideas for new soundtracks.

Chris should enter a drift championship, look how good he drift in those bends. :)

The '09-'12 front bumper/fascia looked better than this one's, but everything else is an improvement.

Love the brand, love the interior, love the sound, love the engine, hate the new looks...especially the lights!

great vid as always chris but...if you were on your own...who did that tracking shot of you drifting round the bend??? Haha!! lol

man i won the previous model and i must say this one is waaaay better u should see it in reality it looks like a wild beast

"I mean it's absolutely bonkers!" - I can almost always predict every time when Harris is about to say that! :)

heavy but light. love that bit.

Thank you, Mr. Chris Harris.

So would you rather have the sl65 v12 or a Gallardo? Anybody? I keep having this debate with my self and can’t figure which one to get.

In the right spec the new sl is really growing on me. Its taken a while, but i really love it. Just not in white.

With the arrival of the new S-Class and C-Class the dash/dash layout and over all styling of the SL-Class is really starting to look a generation behind. I have always loved SL's especially the AMG versions but I think if I were in the market for one I would be waiting for the replacement model to come out.

Can you put the the roof up/down while moving?

Just watched/enjoyed the vid, too bad I'll have to wait a week for the next one!

cant tell where chris´ thoughts about the styling come from, cause in person this just looks awesome..

Can't wait to see the SL65.

really I feel like the last SL was incredibly good looking

the exterior is not bad actually..especially in amg form, awsm review

Yea it's different model codes in the BMW range. Can't wait for the M6 vs SL63 comparison.

I'm curious to see how this stacks up against the new M6 coming out.

I drive there very often, great piece of ribbon.

WE NEED MORE CHRIS HARRIS !!!!!!

Awesome video!!! Haha at 5:29 did that Nissan Z pull to the side or was he parked? Was this a closed course?

Is it sad that I think the way the wind deflector folds up is really cool and watched it back again?

I think it looks absolutely great. From side it reminds kind of second or third gen sl and that's i think is great cause while the last gen looked nice, it really was kinda empty look. But that's down to personal preference.

my current dream car! the older SL63 had a sexier front, but the newer one has a nicer looking rear IMO. bummer!

I know its slightly off topic, but what kind of microphone are you using? it sounds so clear based on the conditions you are using it in, thanks.

I LOVE THEM!! BETTER THAN BEFORE!!!

looks like AMG is starting to get handling right. Awesome car.

give this guy all the car reviews

im just inpress with the michrophone... we only hear him talking and nothing else.. thats pretty damn good

Chris is the man!!! I want our job soooo bad

After this, whats left on the table for the next model, like the 911, how much more can they improve upon?

Holy hell. 663 ft lb's of torque from a 5.5 liter. I'm with Chris on this one (big surprise) though; this thing should look a lot better than it does now.

Looks AMAZING.

Very nice driving :)
