Mercedes' new SL Class didn't get the warmest reception from the press as a whole, but we thought it looked pretty sharp. The AMG version, the 2013 SL 63, takes the new SL's look to a new level--and one that's even better suited to our tastes. While it has a good bit of the AMG flair, it's not over the top, and the additional work at the front, sides, and rear does something to make the car more coherent as a whole, tying the somewhat busy nose in with the plainer sides and tail. Dressed in a nice coat of matte grey paint, it looks ready for business--whether that's cutting through the...

If there's one thing AMG can get right (besides tuning the living daylights out of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, of course), it's the bombastically hyperdramatic operatic promo trailer. Case in point: this video of the 2013 SL63 AMG. As the presumably be-horned symphonic tale unwinds, we are treated to flashes of the thing we're really after: AMG's latest super-roadster and its V-8 orchestra.
