What happened to the Mercedes SL?
Perhaps, then, it’s a surprise to see that the SL has been given a new lease of life when its smaller SLC sibling has been axed. But Mercedes and AMG have gone back to the drawing board with this new model, which it wants to position as a sportier offering more in keeping with the original 300 SL of 1954.
What is the difference between a 1999 and a 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL?
The Mercedes-Benz SL is dominated by an expansive hood leading down to a grille accented by a giant three-pointed star. The styling has been revised for 1999: New SLK-style mirrors, body-color door handles and side molding, new taillights, a new rear valence and a new tailpipe design all give the SL models a sportier stance.
Is the Mercedes-Benz SL500 a good car?
The SL500 is an open car and, despite its Mercedes-Benz origin, there is obvious cowl shake over rough roads — though the chassis is anything but willowy. There’s a lot of tire under the SL. Push it hard through a corner and you can feel this car working out.
What is the sport package on the Mercedes-Benz SL?
The new Sport Package adds to the sporty look of the SL with a special aerodynamic front bumper designed and installed by AMG, the famous tuner firm that specializes in Mercedes-Benz products. The bumper has projector beam fog lights in a deeper apron with a mesh air dam.
What kind of suspension does a Mercedes Benz SL500 have?
The SL500 has a fully independent suspension, with strut-type setup up front and a five-link design at the rear. It is abetted by the Mercedes-Benz Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which takes anti-lock braking and traction control one step further.
