Illustrated book Mercedes-Benz R129

Mercedes-Benz SL 280 - SL 600 | From myth to revelation

The first Mercedes with the nickname SL was still a lightweight in 1954. It produced 215 hp, cost 29,000 marks and weighed just 1,310 kg. The last SL from 1992, the 600, on the other hand, carries completely different weight, such as price (217,740 marks), performance (394 hp) and weight: with more than two tons, nothing reminds of the original SL ("super light"). Concept.

Nevertheless: For many people, there is no more fascinating automobile than the weighty Mercedes SL. In this opulently furnished fourth volume of the “Motor-Klassik-Edition” author Günter Engelen follows the creation of this modern classic. On over 250 pages, with numerous color and black and white photos, drawings and sketches, in what is currently the last volume of the SL series, it offers a comprehensive insight into the roadster history and technology. Test vehicles, series vehicles and driving impressions - the fascination of this modern classic comes to life on every page of this beautifully illustrated volume.
