Model history:

The fifth generation of the SL series appeared in 2001, as usual with many innovations. The R 230 was fresh and modern. Rounded lines signaled the arrival of the SL in the 21st century. A folding aluminum roof allowed the Swabian to be transformed from a full-fledged coupe into a chic roadster in a matter of seconds. But a lot had changed under the sheet metal as well. Optional systems such as SBC (Sensotronic Brake Control), in conjunction with Active Body Control, minimized body movement during braking or cornering.

addition to various 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder engines, models with V12 engines were also available in the R 230 series.
