Apparently Merc say the 43 is equipped with an electric exhaust-gas turbo similar to what it uses in F1.

As standard, the SL 43 is equipped with an electric exhaust gas turbocharger, which, Mercedes says, is a world first for a series-production vehicle.

The technology, which is the same as that used on Mercedes-AMG F1 cars, adds a 4cm-thick electric motor to the turbocharger shaft. It drives the turbocharger directly, which, Mercedes claims, “significantly improves immediate response from idle speed and across the entire engine speed range.”

I doubt that will be the case once we start seeing them in person. That bright blue color definitely biases it.

the AMG GT was the better buy.

Which is why the new SL/GT should've been based on a GT-oriented chassis rather than the SL.
