Why no SL63???
The 6.3 liter AMG motor is turning up in a lot of the newer models. But no hint of if/when it will turn up in the SL.

because that would make the sl65 slower than the 'sl63'

How do you figure? the SL65 comes with a V12 bi-turbo that makes over 600HP with gobs of torque while the 6.3 are NA and make a tad over 500hp.
There are currently no supercharged/turbocharged 6.3's

Why not so? Taken from my brother last week. It looks like a big fake. Fuly 55 packg. But the 63 type sign. I think it was a faker with a SL350!

Whether it's true or not I have no idea, but the owner of American Service Center in Arlington VA said the 6.2 is not a good fit for the current SL engine bay.

I know, I would have gotten the 63 if it were available! Ended up getting the 55.

Apparently Mercedes are to leave current and all future R230s with the Supercharged five and a half. They say it suits character of the car like that.
