Mercedes-Benz SL

After twelve years, the SL was redesigned for the 2003 model year. This coupe/convertible now employs the same retractable metal roof mechanism first introduced in the smaller SLK. The car can convert from a fixed roof coupe to an open top roadster at the touch of a button. The previous SL was not particularly sporty to drive, but the new one, with much better body control and a modern rack-and-pinion steering is markedly more agile. The V8 is smooth and powerful, the AMG model even more so. The SL comes with an extensive list of safety and high-tech features.
