Earlier this week, Mercedes-AMS introduced a new entry-level version of the all-new SL roadster. It comes with a four-cylinder gasoline engine equipped with an F1-inspired electric turbocharger. An AMG roadster without a V8 under the hood may not sound super exciting, but bear in mind the new SL43 hits 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in just 4.9 seconds. Mercedes hasn’t confirmed its plans about bringing the new base SL to the United States but at least the door doesn't seem to be closed for now.
Car and Driver contacted the German automaker and asked if it is going to sell the four-cylinder SL on the US market. Mercedes didn’t give a firm confirmation but said the beautiful roadster “is currently still under consideration for the US market.” That’s surely not much to go by but at least it’s not a negative answer.
