Seller's Notes

This R230-generation Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG is a formidable and sonorous V8-powered performance roadster, enhanced with a professionally installed Weistec supercharger kit. It is powered by a 6.2-litre ‘M156’ V8, now fitted with a Weistec supercharger, driving the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift. This original Australian-market model was first registered in November 2008 and has been with the seller for over three years. The odometer indicates 60,903 km, though this is not warranted. Build year: 2008 This R230-generation SL63 AMG is powered by the hand-built 6.2-litre M156 V8, here significantly uprated with a Weistec supercharger system designed specifically for this engine type, including upgraded pulleys and serpentine belt. This example is finished in the timeless shade of Iridium Silver Metallic, over a two-tone grey leather-trimmed interior, featuring an Alpaca Grey Alcantara headlining, and brushed aluminium and carbon-fibre trim. It rides on a set of 20-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels finished in black, framing silver AMG-branded brake callipers, and fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres. Equipment includes xenon headlights, front and rear parking sensors, the AMG Styling Package, proximity-controlled cruise control, the Airscarf neck warmer system, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, electrically adjustable ride height, switchable driving modes, a Harman/Kardon sound system, switchable ESP Sport mode, switchable sport damper mode, and electrically adjustable heated and ventilated seats with three-position memory and ‘pulse’ function. This example has been enhanced with iridium laser spark plugs, a high-flow exhaust system, an upgraded intercooler, and a Kenwood touchscreen media system with satellite navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay, and a reversing camera. The car comes with a space-saver spare wheel, a warning triangle, a tyre compressor, a certificate of participation from Brisbane Motor Museum, the owner’s manual in a black fabric wallet, two keys, and a collection of service and repair invoices from October 2022 onwards. In October 2024, the rear passenger-side wheel detached at low speed, reportedly due to suspected malicious loosening of the wheel bolts. The incident required the replacement of the wheel and tyre, some suspension components, the rear undertray, and the carbon-fibre diffuser. Certain panels were removed, resprayed, and refitted. The work was carried out by H Harvey Prestige, a certified Mercedes-Benz repairer. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a small dent is noted at the centre of the bonnet, there is wear on the steering wheel buttons, slight staining on the driver’s armrest, and a small panel on the rear convertible deck is missing, though this does not affect the operation of the folding hardtop roof. The most recent eSafety inspection was conducted on 15 July 2024, with no advisories reported. This SL63’s most recent service was carried out in May 2025 at an indicated 60,672 kilometres by Next Level Performance Group, comprising an engine oil and filter change, a brake and steering inspection, a coolant flush and top-up, manufacturer-specified service and inspection procedures, and a 51-point safety check. In January 2024, an engine oil and filter change, visual inspection, and diagnostic code scan were performed. In February and March 2023, the car received replacement spark plugs and O2 sensors, an engine oil and filter change, a performance tune, an SBC system flush, a replacement THF shock, new tie rods, an ABC system flush, a transmission service, and a wheel alignment. In December 2022, the right-hand-side extractor was replaced with a Manta-branded unit. This R230-generation Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG is a thrilling yet refined performance roadster, which has been enhanced with a Weistec supercharger kit. Presented with a timeless colour scheme, aggressive styling, and boasting a comfortable and well-appointed cabin, a highly potent supercharged V8 engine, and a few supporting modernising upgrades, it would make an intoxicating companion for rapid daily driving, weekend fun, and longer-distance road trips alike.
