    Technik: Im R 129 nutzte Mercedes im Wesentlichen die Antriebstechnik der jeweils parallel gebauten Mercedes-Benz S-Klasse. Bei der Baureihe R 129 war das zunächst der W 126, gefolgt von dem W 140 und nach dessen Auslaufen der Nachfolger W 220. Da die Bauzeit der SL-Modelle typischerweise jeweils deutlich länger war als die der entsprechenden S-Klasse-Limousinen, gab es auch beim R 129 einen Modellübergang mit partiellem Wechsel der Antriebstechnik. Markant war hierbei der Übergang von den klassischen Vierventil-Reihen-Sechszylindern zu den neuen Dreiventil-V6-Motoren, die wesentlich preisgünstiger zu produzieren und beim Frontalaufprall sicherer sind. Auch bei den Achtzylindern wurde von Vier- auf Drei-Ventiltechnik umgestellt. LG Tom
