Model history

• The Mercedes-Benz R107, introduced in 1971, defined the era of elegant roadsters. Its predecessor, the Pagoda SL, was replaced by the timelessly charming design of the R107. The 560 SL, the top-of-the-range model from 1986 onwards, boasted a powerful 5.6-litre V8 engine. Its 230 hp gave the roadster superior performance. The legendary model range redefined luxury and driving pleasure, and the 560 SL remains a symbol of timeless elegance and technical sophistication.
