A unique and instantly recognisable design
The Mercedes 250 SL owes its nickname “Pagode” to the concave shape of its removable roof, inspired by Asian architecture. This aesthetic peculiarity has become its signature. Its flowing lines, long bonnet and short tail reflect the elegance typical of Mercedes roadsters of the 1960s. Every detail of the Pagode exudes luxury and German precision.
Mercedes 250 SL Pagode: a refined and high‑performance engine
Under the bonnet, the Mercedes 250 SL Pagode houses a 2. 5‑litre inline six.
