Mercedes-Benz SL Class, 2001 - 2008
The Mercedes-Benz R230 replaced the old one in 2001. The car has acquired a new seductive Mercedes style with 4 round headlights on the front, the shape of the car has become softer and close to the road. Owners appreciate not only the style, but also the excellent driving characteristics - comfort, convenience, rich safety equipment and similar features typical of Mercedes cars. However, the SL is not a real sports car - it is heavy, with a lot of extra comfort equipment and not very powerful standard engines compared to competitors. But the owners of AMG versions will definitely not run out of power. The most powerful version of the SL65 AMG has a 604 hp (450 kW) / 5500 rpm biturbo 6.0 liter V12 engine. The car accelerates to 100 km / h in 4.2 seconds, although real tests have shown better data - Car and Driver magazine tested this car to reach 100 km / h in 3.8 seconds and 160 km / h in 8.2 seconds.
