Kickdown's Take

by Moritz Niemann

This SL 350 comes in a rare yet classic color combination of silver with red leather. What makes this roadster particularly appealing is its very low mileage of only about 48,000 kilometers. A well-maintained SL that retains its value—perfect for summer drives!

    Technik: Anfang 1996, mehr als sechs Jahre nach der Einführung des R129, begann die Entwicklung eines Nachfolgers. Am 27. Januar 1996 startete die Designphase, in der zehn Designer aus Deutschland, Kalifornien und Japan ihre Entwürfe einreichten. Hunderte von Skizzen wurden erstellt, die als Grundlage für zwölf digitalisierte Modelle im Viertelmaßstab dienten. Das Design des R230 entwickelte sich in zwei parallelen Prozessen. Einerseits wurden traditionelle Tonmodelle im Maßstab 1:4 angefertigt. Andererseits fand die virtuelle Entwicklung in einem hochmodernen Computerraum namens „CAVE“ (Computer Aided Virtual Environment, Cave Automatic Virtual Environment, Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum Stuttgart) statt, der bereits 1995 für die Entwicklung des W203 genutzt wurde. Der Supercomputer im „CAVE“ konnte mit fünf Projektoren lebensgroße Bilder der Designs erzeugen, sodass Designer jede Oberfläche detailliert prüfen konnten. Parallel dazu wurden die zwölf physischen Modelle analysiert, wobei vier herausragende Entwürfe als lebensgroße Mock-ups umgesetzt wurden. Diese Entwicklung verlief parallel zur Gestaltung des Innenraums. Am 16. Juni 1997 genehmigte der Vorstand das endgültige Design des R230, das bis 1998 weiter für die Serienproduktion verfeinert wurde. Die Designpatente für den R 230 wurden am 9. September 1999 in Deutschland und am 1. März 2000 in den USA angemeldet. LG Tom
