Description
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is a grand touring car manufactured by Mercedes since 1954. The designation SL derives from the German Super-Leicht, (English: Super Light). The original idea was suggested by American importer Max Hoffman, who perceived a market for a toned-down Gran Prix car tailored to affluent performance enthusiasts in the booming post-war American market, which remains the primary market for the vehicles.
R107 (1971–1989)
560 SL: 1986–1989
The 560 SL was only sold in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Australia to compensate the reduced output of the 5. 0-litres due to the stricter emission laws in these markets.
