to instant desire.

Precision, poise and passion form a union
that approaches perfection. And yet the SL
never stops racing to stay at the forefront
of desire. It’s the sports car that drivers
have longed for — for longer than any other.

SL 400. The purity of the original SL, with six
direct-injected cylinders. Dual turbos deliver
329 hp — far above the output of its forefather.
A lightweight aluminum body is a tribute to
its ever- advancing, overachieving engineering.

SL 550. A 429-hp biturbo V- 8 turns scenery
into a 60-mph blur in just 4.5 seconds.

Its

SL 63 AMG. An AMG biturbo V- 8 is built by
hand and boosted to a 577-hp peak of power.
AMG-developed Active Body Control (ABC
raises its handling prowess to a pinnacle, too.

SL 65 AMG. From its 621-hp biturbo AMG V-12
to its Nappa leather- lined cockpit, the ultimate
SL is a masterpiece of handcraftsmanship. In
your hands, it appoints you master of the road,
and puts 60 mph at your feet in 3.9 seconds.

With the pull of a switch, you can make the SL’s Panorama roof
disappear in seconds. Push one pedal, and your SL can vanish
even more quickly — its biturbo power and adaptive suspension
taking full advantage of its lighter, tighter aluminum body. Unlike
its hardtop, the SL’s eagerness for the road is not easily hidden.

Five different methods of aluminum construction — diecast,

chilled- cast, extruded, thermoformed and stamped — banish
nearly 250 lbs from the SL’s body shell while achieving 20%
greater torsional rigidity and class- leading aerodynamics. Its
engineering advancements coexist in perfect harmony with
its classic roadster proportions — from the wide upright grille
that’s an icon of design in itself, to a profile that’s equally
balanced in hardtop coupe form or as an open- air roadster.

Its power top is a simultaneous achievement of high style
and high-tech, too. When raised, the standard Panorama
roof’s magnesium frame and tinted skylight brighten the
cockpit while lowering the SL’s center of gravity. In under
20 seconds, the top acrobatically folds away beneath the
composite trunklid, leaving a nearly seamless design and
room for two golf bags. Available MAGIC SKY CONTROL®
lets you turn the see-through panel opaque electronically.

And while ordinary convertibles make you subservient to the
capriciousness of the weather, numerous SL innovations put
you in command. A power wind deflector calms drafts. With
the AIRSCARF® neck-level heating system,2 you don’t need
to put the top up every time the thermometer goes down.
And the dual-zone climate control even adapts to your driving
speed and the positions of the hardtop and side windows.
The SL rolls with the changes — so you can go with the flow.

Passion for ward.

Is its two-seat cockpit, tailored in rich leather, the most classic
expression of a sports car? Or do its innovations place it at the
cusp of the radically new? In true SL fashion, it’s both. Back in
1963, its advanced gated shifter let drivers enjoy manual control
with an automatic. Countless cars still use its core design today.

While the SL is named for the “Super Light” configuration of the original Gullwing, it’s never
taken performance lightly. Six generations later, it remains true to its mission. Two advanced
suspensions — one brilliantly adaptive, one fully active — cling to the road as if to defy gravity.
And four biturbo engines have traded pounds of weight for pounds per square inch of boost —
slashing friction, fuel consumption and emissions, while posting hefty gains in performance.
