Probably the first thing to know about the new PureSpeed is that it isn’t powered by electricity. It isn’t even a hybrid - despite having obvious access to the 816hp output available to the SL63 S E Performance. Instead, encouragingly, Mercedes-AMG has opted to stick with the same unassisted biturbo 4.0-litre V8 you get in, which means you get 585hp and 590lb ft via the familiar 9G MCT transmission and 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
Indeed, while the PureSpeed owes much to the SL, side-by-side comparison reveals some significant differences: yes, in its revised ‘shark nose’ front end and the transparent wind deflectors, but also in numerous carbon fibre aerodynamic elements dotted around the body, including an optimised boot lid spoiler and rear diffuser. The 21-inch forged aluminium wheels are bespoke to the limited edition model, too, and feature carbon fibre covers to reduce air resistance.
