Mercedes ends the preparation of this new generation of SL.The convertible abandons the rigid roof and tries to find its "sporty and light" car past.Even if it's been a long time since the SL is no longer a ballerina.
Safety, depollution, technologies, comfort and killing standards: it has been forever that the Mercedes SL no longer bears its name."Sport Leicht" can no longer say that it is in lightness, but it will try to reverse, a little, the trend with this generation R232.
She indeed abandons the retractable rigid roof for a return to the flexible hood.But will we really have a lighter car?Mercedes goes from a strict two -seater coupe to a 2+2 configuration while setting up the 4Matic+all -wheel drive, a first for the SL which therefore radically changes recipe.
The profile and design, less and less camouflaged, irreparably think of an AMG GT.And for good reason, the two cars will now share their platform.The range of SL will again call on V6 and V8 Biturbo engines, but this time with a perhaps significant dose of electrification.
