SL has always stood for sport and lightweight! The SL has been in production in various forms since 1989. It's heritage goes back to the early 1950s gullwing sports coupe! The modern 500SL features a pop-up roll-bar that deploys automatically when on-board computers determine that the driver is losing control!

A cool looking car and--in a great coincidence of history--this is the second Mercedes race car to ever go airborne at Le Mans! Fortunately, driver and spectator safety standards spared anyone from serious injury!

This small fast two seater is the Mercedes-Benz answer to the Mazda Miata, and BMW Z3. It is based on the SL320 chassis and powered by a supercharged 2.3 liter engine.
If you thought that Mercedes only made high performance luxury cars, you'd be mistaken. This European-only economy car is powered by a 1.4 liter engine and looks like a cross between a minivan and an econobox. But, this funky little fellow will be an innovative and safe transportation answer for many European families for years to come.
