Under the hood, of the new Mercedes Benz SL are some serious tones provided by the choice of a new two new V6’s within the SL280 and SL350, a V8 in the SL500, and the unforgettable twin turbocharged V12 in the SL600. This is what is best about the new SL, there is an engine for every driver out there and all give you considerable impressive performance whether you go with the 316 horsepower V6 within the SL350 or go for big stand out performance of the SL600, which develops 517 horsepower. Lets not also forget the AMG modeled SL’s, these are a whole other story though as they are the range topping performance offering from Mercedes Benz.
It’s not just the looks and performance of the new Mercedes Benz SL that has got us jonesing for a test drive, it’s also the vehicles new direct steer system. This new steering system will keep you happy as you are taking corners in the engine of your choice in the new SL’s. While your taking the curves in the new SL600 you will be treated with the finest nappa leather trim and elegant poplar wood.
We would take ours in the SL600 form just so that we could get the open air experience in the ultimate form. We could even drive it into the winter months as we would have the new Airscarf system to keep us warm: this feature “distributes air at just the right temperature through the head restraints, forming a warm, invisible "scarf" around the driver and front passenger.”
European buyers will be happy to know the new SL is on sale as of April, US residents will have to wait a little longer for the new sporty SL.
