Model history

The Mercedes-Benz SL of the R129 series was produced from 1989 to 2001 and replaced the R107. It featured numerous technical innovations such as a fully automatic soft top and an integrated roll bar. From 1993, the model designation changed to "SL 300" instead of "300 SL", making it officially part of the SL-Class. The R129 is still considered a particularly elegant and innovative roadster of its time.

    Technik: Das Fahrwerkssystem ADS (Adaptives Dämpfungssystem) wurde erstmals bei einem Mercedes als Option angeboten. Es war eine teil-hydraulische elektronische Federung der Radaufhängung (siehe Aktive Radaufhängung) mit Niveauregulierung sowohl für die Vorder- als auch für die Hinterachse. Die optimale Dämpfung wurde pro Rad anhand von Parametern von Radbeschleunigungssensoren sowie von Längs- und Querbeschleunigungssensoren des Fahrzeugs ständig elektronisch berechnet und in vier Stufen angepasst. Zudem wurde das Fahrzeug bei Geschwindigkeiten ab 120 km/h um 20 mm tiefergelegt, und die Bodenfreiheit konnte bei Geschwindigkeiten unter 40 km/h per Knopfdruck um 40 mm erhöht werden. (gilt nicht für US Modelle) Der R 129 erhielt als erstes Mercedes-Cabrio einen automatischen Überrollbügel, der im Falle eines Überschlags binnen 0,3 Sekunden ausfährt. Ein weiteres Sicherheitsfeature sind die A-Säulen, die für den Fall eines Überschlags weitgehend knicksicher sind. Neu waren die Integralsitze, bei denen der Gurt und die Kopfstütze in den Sitz integriert sind. Sie bieten deutlich besseren Seitenhalt als die bis dahin verwendeten Sitze. Ab September 1989 war für den 300 SL-24 ein Fünfgang-Automatikgetriebe lieferbar. Für die Achtzylinder waren zu dieser Zeit die darin eingesetzten schmalen Zahnradsätze noch zu schwach. LG Tom
