The SL is the iconic luxury convertible from Mercedes-Benz. With a lineage that dates back to the SSK and SSKL of the 1930's, SL models have been a consistent and visible part of the Mercedes brand. With power to spare, the retractable hardtop SL convertible is all about indulgence. The AMG models offer straight-line performance that can only be exploited on a racetrack or the autobahn.

What Changed:

The SL400 joins the lineup. Power is provided by a 3.0l turbocharged V6.
