Model history

With the R107 model series, Mercedes-Benz created a new chapter in SL history in the early 1970s. As the successor to the Pagoda model (W113), the SL of the R107 series offered V8 engines in a roadster for the first time and combined sporty dynamics with luxurious driving comfort. The R107 has always enjoyed great popularity, partly due to its balanced handling and robust technology. With its unmistakable design and high build quality, the R107 has become a coveted classic.
