Model history:

The letter combination "SL" was introduced by Mercedes-Benz as an abbreviation for "super" and "light". These are mainly roadsters. The sports cars with folding top serve superficially the driving pleasure and thus record a low weight. The coveted classic convinces as a comfortable, two-seater touring car with high performance.
