Designed by Frank Pfisterer; and Mark Fetherston the R231 class of Mercedes SL was released in March 2012 for the 2013 model year as a replacement for the outgoing R230 Mercedes SLs. all the new generation are two door with a retractable hardtop and are made almost entirely out of aluminium, saving a clamed 140kg.

 

This SL350 was the entry level model at launch, only available for the 2012-14 model years its 3.5 litre engine producing 302 bhp amd is linked to a 7-speed automatic (7G-Tronic Plus) gearbox. The SL350 was replaced in the range, in 2014 by the SL400 a a 3 litre producing 328bhp,

 

The R231 range was given a mid-life facelift for 2017, cosmetically every SL received a revised front end, front grille treatment and larger non-functional side 'vents' behind the front wheels. All variants also received adaptive LED front headlights with integrated daytime running lights and turn signals, leaving the below bumper intake area free from lighting. The LED tail lights received single colour red or red and amber lenses instead of the red and white of the pre-facelift models. The engine range was upgraded and there was a slight revision to the folding 'Vario-roof' hardtop operation
