Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 2008 Overview
The SL has undergone numerous design and interior improvements in its facelifted-for-2007 iteration. Models include the new 3.5-litre SL 350, the new 5.5-litre SL 500 and the twin-turbo 5.5-litre SL 600 rocketship. Upping the ante are two sport-tuned models, namely the upgraded supercharged 5.5-litre SL 55 AMG and the twin-turbo 6.0-litre SL 65 AMG. Second-generation Active Body Control and the more direct steering improve handling without compromising the comfort aspects of the SL. The redesigned front, new rear light units and new light-alloy wheels of the revised SL are hardly noticeable compared to the previous version. New interior appointments include new materials and colour schemes. Standard features include front airbags and head-thorax sidebags, ABS brakes, automatic climate control with dust filter and air recirculation, automatic steering wheel with adjustment on entry and exit, brake assist, central locking, cruise control with variable speed limiter, Electronic Stability Program, Xenon headlights, leather upholstery, light-alloy wheels, CD radio with 8 speakers and more.
