Model history

The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL was introduced in the mid-1950s as a stylish roadster for a new group of buyers. It was considered a more elegant and affordable alternative to the technically sophisticated 300 SL and impressed with its balanced proportions, comfortable two-seater design and, on request, a removable hardtop. Produced until early 1963, the 190 SL quickly became a symbol of economic prosperity and is now considered one of the most distinctive classics from Mercedes-Benz.

    Technik: Der Mercedes-Benz W 121 B II (Verkaufsbezeichnung Mercedes-Benz 190 SL) ist ein Sportwagen von Daimler-Benz, der von 1955 bis 1963 als Roadster (wahlweise auch mit Coupédach erhältlich) angeboten wurde. Die Zahl 190 steht in der Verkaufsbezeichnung für den Hubraum in Zentiliter gemessen, die Zusatzbezeichnung SL ist die Kurzform für „Sport Leicht“. Mit 25.881 gebauten Fahrzeugen erwies sich das Konzept eines Reisesportwagens mit Anlehnung an die Großserientechnik als erfolgreich. Der 190 SL verkörperte in der noch jungen Bundesrepublik Deutschland der Wirtschaftswunderzeit das „Wir-sind-wieder-wer-Gefühl“ und war ein beliebtes Requisit in vielen deutschen Spielfilmen dieser Ära. Der Erfolg des Fahrzeugs lässt sich in folgenden drei Punkten zusammenfassen: - Bequemer Reisewagen mit dem sportlichen Design des 300 SL und ansprechenden Fahrleistungen - Im Vergleich zu anderen Tourensportfahrzeugen relativ anspruchslose Serientechnik und leichtes Handling - Vielseitigkeit (als offener Roadster oder geschlossenes Coupé)
