Update: I did think that the 63 was part of the name. I was wrong. In my defense, not having done any research up till now, the SLS is/was the ONLY MB or AMG class not to have displacement #s as part of its name. I wrongly assumed that since every other MB that I was familiar with had these #s, so too did the SLS. This morning I also spoke with a salesman at Euro Motors about this numbers/name thing and asked him this ? several ways to be sure. He said NO 63 in SLS. Interestingly, the SLS successor, the AMG-GT, also has no #S in it's name. I guess you're supposed to know the displacement of these peak performers. Interestingly enough, again, speaking of displacements, on the Wiki MB page, I located 2 different displacements: 6.2 (+ a small fraction) & 6.3. Why round 1 up and not the other? For some one else's scholarship. It's impossible (with one exception) to find MB SLS 63 AMG all together. The exception being: Google Mercedes Benz SLS 63 AMG; Images; you'll find 2 plus pages of photos, 43 images of this car, labeled thusly. Enough? OK? OK.
Thanks, Jamaal. Well, yes & kinda. I meant 63, & it stands for 6.3, the engine displacement. I got the order of all of the parts of the name wrong, and that might have added to the confusion: Mercedes Benz SLS 63 AMG. Sometimes the decimal gets dropped in auto nomenclature. On the side of the car, nestled in the middle of the vent behind the front wheel, is a 6.3 badge.
