- SL500(new model to be launched soon)
The top-of-the-line Mercedes SL-Class roadster has been
fully restyled for the first time in 12 years. The fifth
generation of this successful Mercedes series sets new standards
in driving dynamics and active safety by offering elegant
body styling and a range of cutting-edge technical innovations.
The styling of the new SL-Class captures the spirit of the
legendary 300 SL. And in so doing, it points the way to
the future for premium sports cars by incorporating refreshing
and dynamic design elements, including for example, the
twin ellipsoid headlamp face, a hallmark of modern Mercedes
cars. Another innovation which comes as standard equipment
in the new SL-Class is the upgraded vario-roof, which transforms
the roadster into a couple in just 16 seconds.
The most important highlight in the new SL roadster is the
Sensotronic Brake Control(SBC). SBC uses advanced electronics
to control brake pressure, allowing the brakes to be applied
more quickly and thus shortening the stopping distance.
Also, it ensures body stability during braking by individually
optimizing the brake force for each wheel. The Active Body
Control suspension contributes to the dynamic driving of
the new SL-Class. The active suspension system, which is
also available in the S600L, S55 AMG, and CL-Class, automatically
reduces pitching and rolling, thus resolving the conflict
of interests in terms of dynamic driving and comfort. The
new SL roadster is powered by a five-liter V8 SOHC engine.
The V8 power plan boasts outstanding fuel economy thanks
to substantial weight reduction achieved by the generous
use of lightweight, high-strength materials such as aluminum
and magnesium, and a remarkable Cd value of 0.29.

The new M-Class offers even higher levels of occupant protection
with standard SRS sidebags in the rear doors and SRS windowbags.

design and a wide range of equipment.

designs and a wider range of equipment. With a wheelbase

The interior underlines sheer exclusivity using wood panel
trim and new upholstery materials. Safety features include
SRS sidebags and SRS windowbags.

C180 Stationwagon combines stylish exterior design with
the high functionality of a station wagon. The C200 KOMPRESSOR
Sports coupé has been developed on the basis of the
C-Class sedan and driven by a two-liter four-cylinder inline
DOHC engine with supercharger.
In addition to a host of originally designed details, it
offers sporty and extremely individual driving dynamics.
