Jump in, buckle the race-spec, one-click multipoint harnesses, and fire up the engine in preparation for sensory overload.

Confidence-inspiring, precise handling comes courtesy of the bespoke adjustable dampers, developed specifically for the car’s unique race proven suspension arrangement. The SL hits every apex with poise and pace, hungry for the next corner on each, more challenging mountain pass or moorland blast. “Shortest possible route” is one GPS option you won't want.

Behind you, the advanced, turbine-smooth, Euro5-approved Ford EcoBoost is ready to charge at the slightest brush of the SL’s fly-by-wire throttle. Power delivery is pure Radical: instant, progressive and dramatic, thanks to the SL’s bespoke engine management system.
