Model history

In the early 1950s, the success story of the Mercedes-Benz SL began, which became known as the Sport Leicht. With a timeless design and advanced technology, this sports car quickly gained cult status. The first generation, the 300 SL, was famous for its distinctive gullwing doors and 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with an impressive 215 hp. In the decades that followed, the SL continued to develop. The 190 SL, powered by a 1.9-litre four-cylinder engine, brought elegance to the game. Later, the SL impressed with powerful engines, such as the 5.5-litre V8 in the 560 SL. The SL series established itself as the epitome of luxury and performance and remains an icon of automotive history to this day.
