Model history

In 1963, Mercedes-Benz presented the W 113 model series at the Geneva Motor Show. The new Cabriolet was to replace both the 190 SL and the 300 SL. The new SL marked the transition from the rounded shapes of its predecessors to a more functional style with smooth surfaces and plenty of usable space. In addition, extensive safety measures such as crumple zones were introduced for the first time in an SL. The optional, inwardly curved hardtop earned the W 113 the nickname Pagoda. In 1971, the Pagoda was replaced by the R 107.

    Technik: Übrigens der Name "Pagode" entstand vom nach innen gezogenen Hardtop was es als Sonderausstattung von Mercedes Benz gab! LG Tom

      Technik: Die „Pagode“ war der erste SL, bei dem umfangreiche Sicherheitsmaßnahmen eingeführt wurden. Da seine Basis die Bodengruppe der „Heckflosse“ W 111 mit einem 30 cm kürzeren Radstand ist, hat auch der SL eine steife Fahrgastzelle und Knautschzonen, leicht verformbare Bug- und Hecksegmente. Der Innenraum ist wie bei der Limousine entschärft, es gibt keine harten Ecken und Kanten. Sicherheitsgurte waren, wie beim Vorgänger, als Sonderausstattung erhältlich. Das Lenkgetriebe wurde aus dem crashgefährdeten Bereich des Vorderwagens an die Stirnwand gerückt, die Lenksäule ist geknickt und hat Gelenke, die den gefürchteten Lanzeneffekt bei einem Unfall verhindern. 1967 kamen die Sicherheitslenksäule mit Pralltopf im Lenkrad hinzu. Das Fahrwerk mit Kugelumlauflenkung und hinterer Eingelenk-Pendelachse wurde ebenfalls aus der W 111-Limousine übernommen. Das Zweikreis-Bremssystem hatte Scheibenbremsen anfangs nur an der Vorderachse; mit Einführung des 250 SL auch an der Hinterachse. Seine Federung ist straff, aber für einen Sportwagen sehr komfortabel. Für die Dämpfung sorgen Gasdruckstoßdämpfer; erstmals fuhr ein SL auf Gürtelreifen. LG Tom
