Mercedes SLs Performance Portfolio 1989 - 1994

By: Brooklands Books .

The first all-new Mercedes SL was launched in 1971. It came with a choice of three engines, two sixes and eight, the new body shell being simple and clean. The roll-over hoop rose instantly in an accident, the seat belts were incorporated with the seats, a one-button hood mechanism and a memory switch for seat, mirrors and steering wheel position. As with all cars the engine power increased over the years ending with a 6-litre V12. It's only distinguishing marks being the discrete V12 badges.
