"Mercedes-Benz went a step further in 1992 with the introduction of the 600 SL. This was the first 12-cylinder to join the SL family, and with 394 hp (290 kW) and six-litre displacement it fulfilled the dreams of many car enthusiasts.
Like all Mercedes-Benz passenger cars, the SL models were given new model designations in June 1993. The letters representing the vehicle class were now placed first, so the 600 SL became the SL 600. The revolutionary innovation of 1995 was the Electronic Stability Program ESP®. This pioneering driving safety system, which reduced the risk of skidding in critical handing situations, was available as standard equipment in the SL 600 and as an option in the SL 500."

To celebrate the finale of the 2022 Formula One season, Mercedes-AMG launched the SL 63 "Motorsport Collectors Edition," a roadster that mirrors the design of the AMG Formula One W13 E Performance car. This example, completing production on 3 July 2023, is one of just 100 produced. Its paint finish flows from High-Tech Silver Metallic to Obsidian Black Metallic, accented by a star pattern on the flanks and Petronas-colored details on the front apron, side skirts, diffuser, and the 21-inch AMG forged wheels in Matte Black with Petronas-colored rims.
Powering the SL 63 is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, delivering 577 PS at 5,500 rpm and 800 Nm of torque at 2,500 rpm, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. This enables astonishing straight-line pace: zero to 100 km/h in just 3.0 seconds, a quarter-mile sprint in 11.2 seconds at 200 km/h, and a manufacturer-claimed top speed in excess of 300 km/h.
Performance and style are elevated by the AMG Aerodynamics package, which integrates larger flics, an extended diffuser, and an active underbody profile to improve stability, downforce, and efficiency at speed. For added convenience, the front axle lift system is included with the package. Visual impact is further enhanced by the AMG Night and Night II packages, which add High-Gloss Black and Black-Chrome finishes to exterior details, along with darkened lighting units and black-painted brake calipers.
Inside, the cabin strikes a balance between sport and luxury, featuring AMG Performance seats upholstered in Black Nappa leather and Microcut microfiber with yellow stitching. Carbon-fiber trim and a heated AMG steering wheel with a carbon-fiber rim to reinforce its motorsport character. Standard features include Burmester 3D surround sound, ambient lighting, MBUX with Track Pace, a head-up display, and illuminated AMG door sills.
Once completed, the SL was sent to AutoTorino S.p.A., the official Mercedes-Benz dealer in Turin, Italy, where it was sold on 26 July. With a base price in excess of €170.000, the Motorsport Collectors Edition added nearly €75.000 to the base price, with the total invoiced price reaching nearly €250.000. Since then, the car has been used on a limited basis, covering just 1,254 kilometers at the time of cataloging. As a result of this limited use, the vehicle remains in fantastic condition today while offering a nearly new car experience. More than just an AMG-tuned SL, this car combines the best of the AMG with the heritage of the SL range to celebrate the triumphant 2022 Formula 1 season. With only 100 examples produced, it should be a welcome addition to any Mercedes or Formula One enthusiast's collection.
The SL Class of the 1970s and 1980s was a huge status symbol in America, and many remain on the road today. This '87 560SL was parked near the '96 Benz G wagon in the previous picture ion this photostream. I took this picture with my flip phone too.

The R107-based SL Class was one of Daimler-Benz's longest running models, offered with a variety of engines. This 560SL was available from 1986 to 1989. I don't know the year of this convertible.
Powered by a 5.6-liter V-8, the 560SL has 227 horsepower on tap.

Apart from a smoother design and redesigned headlamps, the 5th-generation SL introduced the 'Vario Roof' retractable hardtop, first seen on the 1996 SLK. Active Body Control, Keyless Go and Sensatronic Brake Control were also new features. A significant facelift followed in 2008, bringing new and revised engines and a new front end inspired by the classic 300 SL, featuring a large grille with a prominent 3-pointed star, twin power domes on the bonnet and redesigned headlights. Up until 2011, a total of 169.433 R230s were produced. The rarest is the SL 65 AMG, with only 3.055 units (350 of which were SL AMG Black Series with fixed roof).

This Mercedes-Benz 560SL - so named because pf its 5.6-liter V-8 engine. (560 would mean 560 centiliters.) The 560SL was only sold in a few countries to make up for the reduced output of the smaller five-liter V-8 due to stricter emissions standards.
This would be anywhere between a 1986 and a 1989 model.

This AMG-treated SL Class is either a SL63 or SL65. I can't remember which it is, but either one is too much for me or my wallet to handle.
AMG was created by engineers Hans Werner Aufrecht and and Erhard Melcher in Grossaspach, Germany in 1967. Since then the firm has worked exclusively with Daimler AG, taking so-called "ordinary" Benzes and proceeding to, in the words of Hans and Franz, pump - them up!
It took awhile for the competition to get it.
