AMG SL 55 v 911 GTS: Which is best?
But what happens if you’re in the market for one and can’t decide which to choose? Well, Mat’s here to help you make that decision!
So let’s see how the two compare, starting with the design. The new SL 55 rolls up with a super aggressive front end, with a big AMG grille straddling the centre with big air vents on either side. It’s a bit tamer around the back, but at least you get quad-tailpipes with it. As for the Porsche, it has the traditional sloping bonnet up front for that classic 911 look. The rear end’s a bit large, but that’s what you expect when you choose a convertible.
One thing these cars both have in common is the quality of the interior. The AMG comes with its customary jet engine-style air vents, good-quality materials throughout, as well as a huge infotainment screen in the centre. You’ll also find carbon fibre trim on the centre console. As for the Porsche, it’s also made with high-quality materials throughout, and in our opinion has a slightly better build quality. The dials also look absolutely gorgeous!
But of course, it’s not all about style… Sports cars need to have performance, and neither of these cars is lacking in that department! The Porsche is powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo flat-six that can deliver 480hp and 570Nm of torque. As for the AMG, it’s housing a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet that can deliver 476hp and 700Nm. However, whereas the Porsche only drives the rear wheels, the AMG sends power to all four!
When it comes to the price, the Porsche comes in at just under £125,000, although if you spend £6,000 more you can get it with AWD. As for the AMG, it’s a whole lot more expensive, coming in at over £147,000!
So is it worth splashing more cash on the AMG? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!
