The space at the rear can also be used to

Two children's seats can be installed on request.

'

Comfort in a car is something on the lines of

general ease and a feeling of well-being (for the
superficial observer).
Mercedes-Benz engineers have never been satisfied with this definition. For them comfort is far
more: an important part of environmental safety
which helps to keep the driver alert.
Even on long journeys.
This kind of comfort, which has already been a
familiar feature of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars
for years, results from the overall driving behaviour
of the vehicle.

An air duel conn.eels the

doors of the 350 SL
lo the heating and
ventilation systern.

The overall driving behaviour of a car is determined

by the interior, seats, heating and ventilation,
running gear, steering and bodywork.
Two-seaters usually offer less room and less comfort (therefore also less environmental safety) than
saloon cars.
The shape of the vehicle determines the design of
the interior. This is generally true. It does not,
however, apply to the Mercedes-Benz 350 SL.

Interior
The 350 SL was designed from the inside outwards.
This means a roomy interior while the exterior
dimensions give good handling in traffic.
Despite the large interior it is therefore extremely
maneouvrable, even by comparison with many
smaller vehicles.
All switches and levers are positioned and combined in such a way that they cannot be confused
in the dark. Mercedes-Benz do not believe.in an
imposing array of switches and showy interior
fittings which would have an adverse effect on
operating safety. Non-dazzle materials are better
than visual opulence.
The standard version of the 350 SL is so constructed that ii is possible to install a stereo unit or
air-conditioning at a later date.
The safety belts are not affected when the seat is
adjusted since the anchor point is on the seat itself.
The glove compartment is illuminated by a removable torch which is charged via the electrical wiring
system. The outside mirror, which can be adjusted
from the inside of the car, is a further example of
the care with which the 350 SL was designed.
Oddments tray, pockets on the doors,
padded armrests, tough carpeting these are just a few examples of what MercedesBenz mean by functional comfort.

Seats

Heating and ventilation

are combined in an infinitely variable, highly
effective system. Even when the outside temperature is -20 C an inside temperature of more than
+ 25 C can be attained. Both doors are connected
to the heating and ventilation system.

Large doors rnalie it easy

to get in a11d out.

Running gear
The Mercedes-Benz diagonal swing axle produces
spring characteristics which are neither too hard
nor too soft.
Fatiguing vibrations are eliminated. Even on long
runs.
The bumps in the road are ironed out by the
rubber mountings of the axles and are not passed
on to the bodywork. There is a sealed bulkhead
between the engine and passenger compartments.
Two hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers p revent
vibrations being passed on from the chassis to the
3.5 litre V-8 engine.
This means that the 350 SL is practically free of
vibrations and very quiet.
The front axle is equipped with anti-dive control.
Anti-roll bars eliminate unpleasant rolling in
corners.
Hydraulic gas-filled telescopic shock absorbers (de
Carbon system) operate efficiently even under extreme conditions.

Mercedes-Benz power steering

The hydraulic equipment of this steering system
considerably reduces the power required at the
wheel and the number of turns. The hydraulic boost
only becomes effective, however, when the driving
situation demands greater steering effort.
For example, when parking or going round narrow
bends.

Non-da ... zlr nu1tcrials
are better than 1 isual
opulence.
1 lush-fitted s1v1lchcs
and buttons are

additional ~afcl) factors.

Despite this, however, the "feel" for the road is

always maintained when driving fast on the straight.
Movements of the steering wheel are transferred
directly and precisely to the front wheels. This
gives a direct contact with the road, making for
safe driving even on wet and icy surfaces.
The steering damper absorbs bumps in the road
without transferring them to the steering wheel.

Bodywork
Due to its highly individual bodywork, with low
waist-line and slightly dished roof, the 350 SL has
extremely large side windows, and therefore offers
an extremely good all-round view for a vehicle in
the two-seater category.

In the Mercedes-Benz 350 SL the driver's reactions

are maintained by an anatomically correct seating
position.
The seats are contoured to give firm lateral support.
The driver's seat can be adjusted in height.
The seat springing is coordinated to the vehicle
suspension.
Both seats springs and vehicle suspension are
equally effective at all speeds.
Mercedes-Benz make firm seats and cushions to
support the body. The semi-fluting separated by
double seams with a special filling, and rubberized
hair mats guarantee that the seats are ventilated
and that any moisture is fully absorbed.

The overall size of the 350 SL permits good handling in traffic.

It also has
large doors which make it easier to get in and out;
intermittent control for the windscreen wipers
which, thanks to the particularly streamlined windscreen design, do not "lift";
side windows insensitive to dirt thanks to the
specially designed front pillars;
halogen broad-beam headlights :
halogen long-range foglamps;
one rear fog lamp,
integ rated in the rear light unit.
The rear light unit is also designed to repel dirt.

The position of the driver in relation to the steering

wheel is anatomically correct. This is a boon on
long journeys.

The Mercedes-Benz 350 SL has that comfort,

visibility and relaxation which become indispensable to the driver.

_ he J 50 SL was designed from the

inside outwards. This means a roomy interior
while the exterior dimensions give good handling
in traffic. The anatomically correct seats are
contoured to give firm lateral support.
The seat springing is coordinated to the vehicle
suspension.
Fatiguing vibrations are eliminated - a boon
on long journeys.

To see and be seen,

You can talk about safety, you can apply lavish

foam rubber padding or you can attack the problem
of safety at the roots.
The latter way is difficult and expensive, but more
responsible, although the results of serious safety
research cannot immediately be seen.
After many series of tests, for example, MercedesBenz developed an instrument panel which yields
in stages, depending on the force of the impact,
thus largely eliminating serious injuries.
Foam padding alone is obviously the least important part of the Mercedes-Benz instrument
panel.

For Mercedes-Benz safety isn't a matter of individual points, not even the couple of dozen
features built into every Mercedes-Benz.
Mercedes-Benz safety is a system based on
scientific research.
Its individual elements are interdependent.
It is a system which is forever being extended and
tested.
Here are just a few examples:

Sturdy bodywork
Bodywork should be designed in such a way as to
give optimal strength without a surplus of material.
Mercedes-Benz has developed a new method of
calculation for the bodywork:
ESEM, the elasto-static-element-method.

'

The four-spoke safety

steering wheel.
The padded boss, spikes
and rin1 f ornz one
f oa111-padded unit.

This new computer process enables stress calculations to be done faster and more precisely
than was previously the case.
The bodywork of the 350 SL was designed by this
new method .
The result: stronger front pillars,
although they are only narrow
(they otherwise hinder side visibil ity).
The special design of these pillars also considerably reduces the amount of dirt col lecting on the
side windows. Rain water is diverted over the roof
to the rear.

fuel tank located in protected position

The tank of the 350 SL was transferred from the rear
crumple zone.
For reasons of safety it is now located over the rear
axle.
Bulkheads also seal off the fuel tank (capacity:
90 litres) from the boot and passenger compartment. The wheels protect it from side impact.

Tlte rear light unit is

specially designed to be
in:ensitive to dirt.

Dual-circuit power-assisted
braking system

..

The brakes of the 350 SL are more than a match

for the engine power. Braking can be precisely and
easily controlled, whether gently reducing speed or
jamming hard on the brakes .
The vehicle holds its cou rse and can be brought to
a halt without veering to one side.

10

There are disc brakes all round which can be subjected to continuous stress and are self-adjusting .
The front brake discs are ventilated. All four rims
have turbo blades for additional cooling.
The parking brake has extra brake shoes and brake
drums.
A warning light indicates fail ure of a brake circuit.

these are important elements of safety.

A clear, all-round view is complemented by halogen
broad-beam headlights and halogen long-range fog
lamps. (Headlight wipers optional.)
The specially designed front pillars keep the side
windows almost free of dirt.
Extensive tests in the wind tunnel showed that the
angle of inclination and the curve of the windscreen
eli minate one particular problem: that of the
wipers "lifting" during driving.
Intermittent wiper control means that the windscreen
can be wiped every 5 seconds, e.g. in the case of
drizzle. The wipers move only as often as conditions require.
That too reduces strain on your nerves.
The standard rear fog lamp is integrated in the
rear light unit.
The rear light unit is also designed to be insensitive
to dirt.

Safety steering
The four-spoke safety steering wheel of the 350 SL
is a new feature.
The padded boss, spokes and rim form one foampadded unit.
The impact absorber under the padded boss, the
steering column which "telescopes" under impact
and a steering box located well behind the front
axle yield in stages.
This avoids the dangerous "impaling " effect of the
steering column in a crash.

The strong pin of the

safety lock. Th<' door
handles have no
projecting hnob .
The doors are opened by
pulling the door ltandle.

Safety door locks

will not suddenly open in an accident (hence
prevent passengers being flung out) and do not
jam if the doors have to be opened quickly after an
accident. The door handles have no projecting
knob.
The doors are opened by pulling the door hand le.

Other examples
Anatomically correct driving position eliminates
fatigue and maintains the driver's reflexes;
firmly anchored "breathable" seats are contoured
to provide good lateral support;
seat springs and vehicle suspension perfectly
tuned;
steering damper absorbs road jolts;
rubber mountings on the axles absorb unevenness
in the road;
gas-filled telescopic shock absorbers guarantee
efficient operation.

Today Mercedes-Benz intensive

The all-round disc

brakes can be subjected

The dual-circuit
power-assisted braking
systenz is e.raclly

power.

The second decisive factor tested is man and his

reactions.
Mercedes-Benz sends its vehicles on to the test
track with everyday drivers at the wheel.
Specialists simulate hazards not expected by the
driver.
All reactions are recorded.
From the analysis of these it is possible to calculate
the average reactions of the average driver.

11

ue to its neutral driving behaviour

and precise power steering the 350 SL takes
corners smoothly and makes constant corrections
unnecessary. The wheels, which are individually
located by the semi-trailing arms of the rear
axle and the wishbones of the front axle, do not
tend to come off course, even on very bumpy
roads.

12

13

The 350 SL is a very fast car.

230 gr. HP/SAE (200 net b.h.p. DIN).
Top speed: 210 km/h.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.8 seconds.
Mercedes-Benz builds even faster cars. The
research laboratory on wheels, the C 111, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in as little as 4.8 seconds.

l
J

The world land speed record is just over 1,000 km/h

by the way.
(Blue Flame, rocket propulsion, driven by Gary
Gabelich, 1970.)
What's the point of it?

The transistorized ignition

is a further technical feature. The ignition contacts
function with a very low intensity of current.
This means:
minimum wear and thus
precise ignition at the right time over a long period.
The running gear with its reliable dual-circuit
power braking system is efficient at all speeds.

This is not the way.

Mercedes-Benz' definition of sportiness is:
Smooth, disciplined driving and uncompromising
fairness.

Here are some examples of the many features:

injection. Transistorized
ignition and 1isco-dri1w
fan dPpendent on the

engine ~pl'cd.

Exact wheel location by means of semi-trailing

arms.
This results in good straight-line performance and
high cornering stability with comfortable, but not
oversoft suspension.
While one wheel follows the bumps in the road, the
other runs independently straight ahead.
This is why the Mercedes-Benz diagonal swing axle
is so much better than any other rigid axle.

One of the eight

injection elements of the
V-8 engine.

If the motorway is clear and the driver knows and

can control his car then by all means let him drive
at 200 km/h.
Provided that his car is built for such speeds.

This engine is an engineer's dream. When we say

this we do not mean the 200 net b.h.p. DIN
(147 kW), or the 8.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h,
or even the top speed of 210 km/h
but the way in which this mature engine delivers its
output.

The electronically controlled

petrol injection

14

The electronic control unit determines instantaneously the correct amount of fuel according to the
absolute pressure in the intake pipe and the engine
speed. All essential information about the operating condition of the engine is also registered and
processed. This includes eng ine temperature,
intake air temperature and more besides. The
electronic system works invisibly and imperceptibly.

The wheels, which are individually located by the

The Mercedes-Benz 350 SL

has a 3.5 litre V-8 engine

This engine, with its effortless acceleration from all

speeds, makes it possible to adapt to any traffic
conditions or situation and thus represents a considerable contribution to safety.

Straight-line stability

Mercedes-Benz builds its cars for drivers who

understand this - for which we are grateful.

The V-8 engine exceeds all expectations as far as

flexibility and torque are concerned.
Even at a low engine speed it conveys tremendous
power to the wheels. Two overhead camshafts
guarantee precise valve control even at maximum
speed.

The V-arrangement of the cylin_ders

saves space
After years of testing Mercedes-Benz have come to
the conclusion that for 8 cylinders or more the
V-arrangement is best, since balancing is easier
and therefore the engine quieter.

Since someone had the ingenious idea of rally

stripes and the sports car look for family cars, it
has become fashionable to be sporty.
A fine achievement in the age of mass motorization,
long queues and rush-hour traffic.

Anything else is just plain foolish and precise - unsporting.

Only the result is felt:

The engine always responds immediately and
accelerates briskly and powerfully from all speeds.
There is no hesitation on sudden acceleration. Fuel
consumption is kept low because the control unit
meters out to every cylinder only the precise
amount of fuel needed for the appropriate operating conditions.

Cornering stability

l
j

Due to its neutral driving behaviour and precise

power steering the 350 SL takes corners smoothly
and makes constant corrections unnecessary. An
anti-roll bar on both the front and rear axle prevents
unpleasant rolling in corners.
A hydraulic steering damper absorbs road jolts,
which do not affect the steering wheel.
Taken together, these features make for easy
travelling, even on twisting roads.

Reliable road holding and maximum

side-wind stability
Wide track, long wheelbase, low centre of gravity
and an axle load distribution of 1 :1 (weight distribution front: rear) are ideally combined in the
350 SL with streamlined bodywork and rugged
chassis with independent suspension.
This perfect technical layout is matched with
maximum comfort.
A 500 or 1,000 km journey is still a pleasure in a
350 SL.

fter extensive tests in the wind

tunnel one particular problem was eliminated:
that of the windscreen wipers "lifting" during
driving.
The specially designed front pillars ensure that
rain water is diverted over the roof.
The side windows remain clear; a good,

All switches, levers and buttons are logically and

The basic design of the Mercedes-Benz 350 SL is

derived from its predecessors, the 230 SL, 250 SL
and 280 SL.
Approx. 50,000 SL types were built up to the beginning of 1971.

spe(iali~ts.

Such a tremendous success is all the more unusual

when one considers the small and extremely
limited market for these exclusive models.
The most important units {engine, transmission,
axles) already had hundreds and thousands of
gruelli ng kilometres behind them when the 350 SL
was introduced. 10,000 V-8 engines have already
proved their worth in practice. They were installed
in some of the more exclusive models such as
the 300 SEL 3.5, for example.

The Mercedes-Benz 350 SL is reliable.

Body finish
The 350 SL was designed by a special process.
Mercedes-Benz developed a new method of calculation for the bodywork: ESEM, the elasto-staticelement method, enabling work to be done faster
and more precisely than was previously the case.
The bodywork of the 350 SL was designed with the
help of this computer process.
The result: bodywork which is torsion-resistant.
Unpleasant noises {squeaking and rattling etc.) common in many two-seater sports cars today are non-existent.
The roadster hood fits exactly into the steel frame
of the front windscreen and is absolutely tight. The
frameless side windows can be wound right down
and also fit exactly into the roof. The hood is
easily opened or closed by one person and the
coupe roof (optional) can be fitted and removed
just as easily. Even at high speeds the interior of
the closed car is free from draughts and noise.

Doors made to fit exactly

The deep thud when closing the doors is not an
acoustic gimmick, but a sign that the doors fit
exactly.
Mercedes-Benz employs experts whose only job is
to check the measurements of the doors.

All electrical units

{headlights, starter motor. dashboard lighting etc.)
are separately earthed, which is more expensive
but also more reliable.

All parts supplied by outside

contractors

18

are subiected to a further strict test before being

installed, although they have already been inspected by the manufactu rers. For example, a high
percentage of every delivery of rubber sleeves for
the ioints of the rear axle must undergo a 100 hour
test in an oil bath - a test so severe that it
corresponds to many years on the road. The batch
is only released for production when it has successfully withstood this ordeal.

Every single rear axle

undergoes four different tests to see that it is
tight after it has been assefl'.bled.

Every engine, transmission and axle

is sub jected to extensive test runs under varying
conditions. Only after they have withstood these
trials without any adverse effects are they worthy
of being installed in a Mercedes-Benz.

19

T
ide track, long wheelbase, low centre
of gravity and an axle load distribution of 1:1
(when the vehicle is occupied) are ideally
combined with the streamlined bodywork of the
Jf 0 SL and the well-tuned chassis with
individual wheel suspension. The Mercedes-Benz
diagonal swing axle is far better than any
other rigid axle.

Lasting value is a feature of the Mercedes-Benz

350 SL with its technical perfection, high-class
quality of material and workmanship, and unmistakable styling.

Vehicle shape
Fashion wil l always attract certain purchasers.
Mercedes-Benz, however, cannot afford to follow
this trend. Genuine technical improvement is the
only reason for new Mercedes-Benz models.
Mercedes-Benz automobiles do not therefore have
bodies which are attractive today and out of date
tomorrow. Modern but not mod ish.
The only shape which lasts for years is the "right"
one.
It has a long life - as long as a Mercedes-Benz.
The styli ng of the 350 SL is not an end in itself
but functional. For example, the fluting on the
sides. This may "stretch" the body optically, but its
prime purpose is to help drain off dirt and water in
bad weather. The same applies to the thick rubber
strips along the sides. These protect the paintwork
if other drivers open their doors too wide.
Or the chrome strips on the coupe roof (optional).
These serve to take a luggage rack or ski holders.

Mercedes-Benz model continuity

results in high resale prices, maximum precision
and reliability of manufacture.
Obviously, anyone who introduces a new range
only once every 6 years has to cope with ' teething
troubles" only once every 6 years.
But lasting value means that the quality of material
and workmanship must be equally high.

Hollow parts which become

inaccessible later
are coated with zinc paint before assembling to
prevent interior corrosion.

The body shell

is washed and coated with phosphates after
assembly.
This provides the first protective coat of compactgrained zinc phosphates. After the application of
phosphates comes the passivation which, in conjunction with the paint covering, helps to prevent
corrosion.

The first primer

is applied by dipping in a bath. Sharp edges
(e.g. the inside edge of the wheel arches at the
front and rear), which are particularly liable to
damage, are coated with liquid plastic by hand to
make sure that corrosive influences have no
chance here either.

The front and sides

are given a flexible plastic coating to protect them
against damage caused by stones.

The second primer

is applied automatically according to the very
latest methods.
This guarantees a good, even coating for all parts
of the bodywork.

Vehicle underfloor, wheel arches

entry and the lower part of the front
22

are given special protection since they are continually subjected to stones flying up from the road.
After the second primer has been applied, these

parts are provided with a thick PVC (polyvinylchloride) coating. After annealing this becomes a
protective coat which remains flexible even under
continuous stress. Damage from stones is therefore out of the question.

i11<'rcedes-13enz has
} 340 sen,ice slalio11s
in 16} co1111 lries.
In each one of thern the
J 50 SL is in good hands.

The basic coating

is applied to the whole of the body. Above all , it
provides a basis for the top coat and improves the
quality of the finished surface.

The final top coat

not only makes the car good to look at, but also
provides excellent protection against the harsh
properties in the air. The top coat is smooth and
hard : it offers effective resistance to the varying
climatic influences and makes the vehicle easy to
care for.

Vehicle underfloor and

wheel arches have a
standard fle:r.:ible plastic
coating Lo guard
against dcunage f rmn
stones.

Every coat of paint

is annealed at temperatures between 130 and
165 C and thus becomes an insoluble, hardened
plastic coating.

All hollow parts

are treated with another special wax which "creeps"
and stays put even on vertical surfaces. This wax
was developed by specialized firms in conjunction
with Mercedes-Benz. Corrosive influences resulting
from water of condensation are therefore reduced
to a minimum.

All parts which are installed later

(axles, drive shaft, track rods, fuel and brake lines)
are, together with the engine compartment and the
whole underside of the vehicle, provided with a
thick protective wax coating.

Test facilities
In order to test the effects of extreme environmental conditions on the bodywork, for. example,
weathering tests are carried out on an island in
the North Sea as well as at a station in California.

The axle housings and engine block

are coated inside with a special heat and oilresistant paint developed by the Mercedes-Benz
research laboratory.

Uncompromising inspectors
15 /o of all personnel engaged in car production
carry out control work. They have to weed out
everything which does not come up to the standard
required. They really do this.

All of these measures

help to make Mercedes-Benz passenger cars the

long-lived, lasting vehicles they are.

Service for exclusive vehicles

There are very few models on the international
automobile market which can be described as
competitors of the 350 SL.
These cars - manufactured almost entirely abroad
in extremely small numbers - are faced with the
problem of maintenance and spare parts.
Here too the Mercedes-Benz 350 SL occupies a top
position.
Mercedes-Benz has over 3,340 service stations in
163 countries with experienced specialists who
have frequent refresher courses given by experts
from the factory.
A reassuring feeling, especially for holiday trips.

We therefore request our
customers to obtain information from thei r
Mercedes-Benz distributors
as to the equipment actually
available.

25

The radio is fitted in the

centre console and is
easily operated by both
driver and co-drizer.

Mercedes-Benz passenger cars are very well

equipped and offer maximum comfort.
If you want to personalize your Mercedes-Benz in

order to give it an individual atmosphere, many

extras are available.

Telephone

An excerpt f roni a
well-lu!own 1noloring
111aga::1ne:
"J\lercedes-Ben::; 111akes
reall.r ingenious
headrests, neither too
hard nor loo soft,
which can be e.ractly
suited to the lzeiglll.and
position of the seat."

With a car telephone you can be more independent.

Important decisions can be made on the way and
passed on to others. This is just one of the many
advantages.
Further details about car telephone systems are
available frorp every Mercedes-Benz branch or
agency.

Mercedes-Benz automatic transmission

You can drive at speeds dictated by traffic flow,
without having to change gear or operate the
clutch. When accelerating you only need to " kick
down" the accelerator into what is called the
forced throttle position to obtain the necessary
speed. The automatic transmission then changes
into the appropriate gear and, after overtaking,
automatically changes back. Gear changing takes
place without interruption of the power flow. This
is one of the great advantages of a Mercedes-Benz
automatic transmission.

The standard version of the 350 SL is so constructed

that even when a stereo unit is fitted at a later date
optimum sound is obtained.

Safety headrests
Mercedes-Benz headrests can be adjusted in height
or backwards and forwards. They provide a wide or
narrow contact surface. Apart from increased comfort (muscle-relaxing head support) they are also a
safety precaution for driver and passengers, since
they protect the neck from injury in collisions.

Here are a few more examples

I imited slip differential;
two children's seats at the rear;
coupe roof;
heatable rear window for the coupe roof;
master locking system;
loather upholstery,
':pecial paintwork in one or two colours,
mechanical or automatic aerial,
'.let of suitcases,
whitewall tyres
and much more.
I urther details are contained in our catalogues
"Mercedes-Benz Special Equipment'',
" Selection instead of Changing"
nnd " Power Steering and Air-Conditioning".

Safety belts
No other special equipment had such a difficult
time fighting prejudice. Today the efficiency of
safety belts is undisputed.
From the experience gained in systematic scientific
investigations on safety, Mercedes-Benz fit a
three-point safety belt which holds both the upper
and lower parts of the body firmly in the seat in an
accident. When not in use the safety belts in the
350 SL roll up automatically into the side wall.
When the driver puts on the belt he takes hold of
the clasp with one hand and pulls the belt from
the reel. The lock is firmly anchored to the seat
frame and the belt is fastened by engaging the
clasp in the lock (single hand operation).

Air-conditioning

Selection:
appio:r. JO differenl
paint colours, a thirrl of
11hicl1havea111etallic
finish (al e:rtra cost).

The Mercedes-Benz air-conditioning system looks

after your physical comfort. You can decide on the
exact temperature of the car interior. This is
particularly important when you are driving in
bumper-to-bumper traffic on motorways or in the
sweltering heat of towns. Open windows bring no
relief. On the contrary, you are then plagued by
dust and noise from the road. The only effective
help is provided by air-conditioning. The system is
put into operation by the button on the right. The
left-hand button enables you to regulate the desired
temperature. That is all. Adjustable louvres make it
possible to control the direction of the stream of
cooled air. The air-conditioning system works on
the proven refrigerator principle.

Radios

26

A car radio is not only useful for the comfort it

gives. Programmes bring regular reports about
road conditions, traffic hold-ups, diversions etc.
Thus by finding out beforehand, you can avoid
annoying delays.
At the works, Europa, Mexico and Grand Prix
models can be installed, and for foreign markets
Brescia or Monte Carlo are available.
Any other makes can be installed later at
Mercedes-Benz branches or agencies.

Power and good lool{_s.

Intrinsic value and
distinction.
P eople who choose an SL are opting for
the conscious driving experience - for
direct i nterrc lation with their car and
the way it behaves - exemplifie d by th e
ind ividual scats and the excellent positioning of all the instruments in this special two-seater model. The SL series
from Mercedes-Benz. A u nique concept
in cars. P erfect for sporty, " open-topped" driving worldwide; uniqu e

dynamic elega nce, co mbined with

generous comfort. Jncorporati ng all th e
standa rds of qua lity inherent to
Mercedes-Benz. Quality which encompasses every aspect; value retention an d
functional reliability, based on design
features which have been proven in
series production. And a lso driving refinem ent in keeping with the times;
maximum safety, s uperb economy and
environmenta l acceptability.
A timelessly elegant, clas ic shape, a
further improved range of six and cightcylindcr engines whi ch re present the
slate of t he engin eering art today. Components wh ich lead the fi eld in terms of
performance and re fin ement in every
way. The use of electronics to achi eve
more precise operation , optimum utili sation of energy and improved emiss ions. And the very best in s moothness
and durability.

The >>SL<< formula.

A great tradition of
sports car exclusivity.
The story of the ~lercedes SL series
bega n about 30 years ago with a car
wh ich became a legend while it was still
in production. A car wh ich today marks
one of the high poin ts in the chronicle
of high-quality automotive engineering;
the 300 SL.
It was initia ll y developed as a coupe with the famous upward-opening gullwing doors. It then went into regular
production as a roadster, which gave a
new vitality to motoring; in fact in th e
fifti es it ch anged attitudes towards the
ca r itself. [twas an exceptional creation
which also caught in its spell so me of the

great racing drivers of the time, such as

Juan Nl anuel Fangio and Stirling i\1oss.
With the l90 SL and the 23 0 SL,
Mercedes-Benz con ti nucd the concept
of the comfortabl e convertible.
This distinctive type of car won its reputation with a group of demanding, individua listic drivers in all five continents,
and symbolised a balanced synthesis of
sportiness, comfort and high-quality
engineering. Today, this tradition is
continu ed by three full y matured,
genuinely progressive models.
The new i\1ercedes SL models are fo r
drivers who love the exhilaration of
driving a convertible, who wish to experience rea l driving - every day - as a
personal pleasure. People who see their
car as an expression of an individu alistic way of life, and who still ex pect comfort, conveni ence, high-qu ality materials and first-class workmanship. "SL"
has become th e formula whi ch stands
for the appeal of the unusual and exciting, but without the noise, the hard
work and the stress which so often go
hand in hand with driving a sports car.

The experience.
In an SL model, driving enjoyment and
functional engineering come together
to form an integrated unit. A direct relationship with fresh air and the countryside, a completely different way ofgetting
fromA to B. The ease with which th e car
can be driven, the certain knowledge
that it is a matured design which will
allow you to react quickly and safely,

make it just as enjoyable to cruise gently

at moderate speeds as to go on a fast,
demanding journey.
Driving in an open two-seater has
always been something special and will
always be. It is a pleasure enjoyed by
connoisseurs and individualists and has
nothing at all to do " 'ith fashionable
trends.
Butwhatmakes driving an SL so incomparable is the consciousness of quality,
the experience ofitsbalanced combination of power and safety, comfort and
reliability.
Mercedes-Benz coupes. They imply

exclusivity and therefore something

rather rare, in combination with the
reliability of components that have proved themselves hundreds of thousands
of times. Exclusivity with the advantage
of exemplary service in 174 countries.
Rarity with thecomfortingcertaintyofa
high re-sale value. P ower which can he
used very econornically.

A dynamic shape,
leaving fashion way
behind.
The front - known th roughout th e
world simply as the "SL radiator" - and

the gently sloping sh oulder-Line profile express the potential of the SL

models. Distinctive, powerful-looking
lines which indicate the car's low centre
of gravity, uniqu e contours which are
recognisable even from a distance and
wh.ich are unaffected by short-term
fashion trends. T h e new spoiler in the
lower part of the front section and the
bui lt-in air-intake grille reduce lift
forces at front, so even dynamic driving
is now safer still.

Smooth surfaces and rounded lines; the

distinctive, soft-edged shape is not only
attractive and dynamic, it also makes it

safer for other road users in the eve nt of

a collision.

The front light units incorporate halogen h eadlamps with asymmetrical dipped beams and large, "wrap-around"
indicators. A wash/ wipe system for the

h eadlamps is available as an optional

extra. The pronounced ribbing of the
rear light clusters prevents th e rapid
accumulation of dirt.

Individualistic styling,
based on
total functionality.

Th e sporty appearance of the SL

models with their clean-cut contours
and low centre of gravity expresses not
only dynamism but also th e quality of
th e styling. Th is means that the greatest
emphasis h as been given to functional
considerations and the needs of th e
demanding driver.

Flexible elements in th e bumpers. The

protective side strips help to stop the
upper parts of the bodywork from getting dirty.

The robust roof pillars have built-in dirt

deflectors which help to keep the side
windows clean. Th e aerodynamically
shaped exterior mirror can be adjusted

from inside. The aerodynam ically efficient angle of the windscreen reduces
reflections which could affect the driv..
er's v1s1on.

In the 300 SL, 420 SL and 500 SL, the

six and eight-cylinder engines set new
standards in terms of output and consumption. Dynamic and respo nsive
power at a low energy-cost. Fuel economy predctermint}d by the engine
design - and by characteristics which
permit full acceleration in the lower
engine speed ranges. Plus opti mum utilisation of fuel, and very low noise and
pollutant e missions d ue to the use,
where advantageous, of matured
\f e rcedes clcctronics.
Both the clcctronic ignition and the
mechani<'a l/ clectronic fuel injeetion
system are controlled b) microprocessors. In the ignition. th<' timing is constantly adapted to the operating condi-

tions at any one time. T he microprocessor-controlled electronic element of the

injection system ensures precise metering of fuel under all conditions.
The factor which ensures maximum
power, economy and functional reliability is the application of Mercedes
design principles, which combine genuine progress with the advantage of great
reliability:

The relaxed way

to drive a sports car.

In lhc Mercedes-Benz SL rnodels, sporlincss is not reflected by a hard su spension, nor by excessive engine noise.
Afle r a very short time, you will feel
completely at home. And after many
hours you will still be completely alert
Knowledge gai ned from th e study of
ergonom ic h as been applied throughout the design of the driving position.
Following the Vlercedes principle that
th<' le effort and attention the car
requires, the more are available for
driving. ln the SL, disturbing influ ences have been removed to the
greatest possible extent.

Concentration without
stress, with the
comprehensive driver
information system.
Fast drivi ng creates the need for precise
information. But only really important
information - that which is actually
necessary. Fi rst and fo remost, good allround visibi lily, because of the integrated design of lhc windows and the bodyshell . A feature not fou nd as a matter of
course in every sports ca r. Equally im-

portant is th e ergon omic design of the

layout of the controls and instruments.
A steering wheel that offers a good grip;
all switch es and buttons in the right
position and at the right distance. All
displays and gauges are clear, unambiguous and totally within the driver's
field of vision.
Headlamps which can be adjusted from
inside the car, to suit th e load the car is
carrying. Brake pad wear indicator.
Warning buzzer which sounds if the
exterior Jjghts are left on. And, new on
th e
Mercedes
driver-informalion
scene, an illuminated rotary ligh t
switch and illuminated indicalors
monitori_ng the levels of th e engine o.il ,
coolant and screen-wash fl uid.
Anoth er monitor :lights up if any of the
exterior light bulbs is defective.
In addition, a thermometer which measures the outside temperature for even
greater safety in winter conditions.

Automati c transmission saves you th e trouble of declutc hing

and c ha nging gea r, and offers you a c ho ice of two s hift program me , S tandard and Econom y.

The rotary light switc h is illuminated .

Automatic climate control. For electroni c regulation of th e

te mpe rature inside the ca r.

The comb ination switch , which o pe rates the low-beam

headligh ts, the headlight flas he r, the indicato rs, th e windscreen wipe rs and th e screen was h sysLC'm.

The le rcedes trip compute r. The e lectronic a id to perfect

jou rney planning.

Th e a nti-lock brake syste m (A BS). Even with the brakes full

on, t he car can still be steered.

Sports-car atmosphere.
Exclusive styling.
Superb space and
comfort.

Relaxed, enjoyable driving begins with

the right posture.
The SL seats are body-contoured, giving firm lateral support without being
restrictive. Top-quality materials fro m the steel-sprung core and the airpermeable padding to the high-quality
MB-Tex, fabric or leather covers.
.... The seats can be progressively
adjusted for reach . The backrest angle
can also be progressively adjusted. The
driver's seat and front passenger seat
can also be adjusted for height.
.... Large, adjustable head restraints.
T hree-point inertia-reel seat belts with
electronically controlled belt tension-

ers. Maximum comfortand safetydue to

the h igh position of the upper seat belt
guide.
The interior trim, cultured refinement.
The footwells, the floor and the boot are
fully carpeted. High-quality materials
and a tasteful selection of colour schemes
help to create an atmosphere of security
which is one of the secrets of the success of
these performance cars. The quiet interior. Amazing for a sports cars - even
under hard acceleration and when driving fast. Due in part to the low noise levels
of the new engines. The heating and ventiJation are superb - important to keep
the driver and passenger alert. The elec-

tronic heating control automatically

keeps the pre-selected interior temperature constant, irrespective of external
temperature. The ventilation system
ensures a draught-free, even and plentiful supply of warm or fresh air. A "recirculated-air" switch allows the air to be
warmed more quickly in winter and,
' vhen necessary, minimises penetration
of air from outside without having to
turn off the heating/ventilation system.
The optionally available air conditioning is functionally integrated into the
heating system. This means that cooling, as well as heating, can be controlled
automatically.

Th e exclusive pleasure of driving an S L

is not affectcd by either sudde n c ha nges
in weather or by long periods of bad
weathe r uc h as in winter.
'\ he n thC' weathe r is good you ca n drive
with the tar ope n to the air and th e sun.
And you do not need to worry - even if
there is a sudden thunde rstorm. The
robust, high-quality soft top can be
pu llcd from its recess between the rca r

seat and the boot and fastened easily, in

a matte r o r minute .
He re too, \IC' rccdes pe rfec tion r('ign .
When it i foldC'd down, the soft top i
located in a p('(ial recess, covered by a
rnc tal pa ncl. Thi rnca ns that nothing
mars the classic appearance and th e
clean-cut lines of lhc car.
When, on the ol her hand , you need to
be fully protected so that the SL can he

'

used as an all-year-round ca r, there is a

trong hard top with its h catC'd, laminated-glass rea r screen. This roof ca n be
Ii ftC'd o n and fa ste ned" ithout any proble ms to give you a totally winter-proof
,

<"OU P<'.

An important aspect of the comfort and

convenie nce of the SL mode ls is that
th e re is plenty of room for luggage. The
boot h<is a capacity of 260 litres - mak-

ing it one o f th e large t boot vo lumes in a

conve rtible. Out on long journeys even
more luggage can be carried ea il y.
Behind the fro nt scats the re i additional, ca ily acec ibk stowage space.
Alternatively, however, as an optional
extra, you ca n have two additional rear
seats.

The safety of a
Mercedes sports car.
1ea rly

60 years of ckvelopmenl lie between the installation o f th<' first specia l

safe ty features by Da imlC'r- B<'nza nd the
matured sal'cty system C'mploycd on
.\lcrcedes-l3e n:1. C'a r today.

In the SLs, too, the measures geared to

providing protective, passive safety
combine with active sa fety fealures to
give an optimum a ll- round system.
Active safe ty. T his includes excellent
acceleration, good straight-li ne stability and corn er ing, " forgiving" be h aviour when sudde n evasive action is
necessary, and a re lia ble braking system. The eight-cyli nder SL models are
now also fitted as standa rd with ABS,
the anti-lock brake syste m; in th e
300 SL this is a n o ptional extra.
Exampl es of passive safety. As in all

.\k rndes a rs, the front se('tion is

dcisigned a an e ne rgy-ah orbing
crump lr zonr. The pcciall) stnngthcnC'd A-pilla rs arc linked h) a tough

The petrol ta nk is in a protcctcd position , a bove the rea r axl e assc mbl y.
This is all compl e me nted by an inhrior

rC'dueC'd by the highly deformab le
t<'C'ring wheel rim and th e impaC't
ab o rbc r bC'nC'ath the padded bo s in
the centre of the steering whc<' I.
The L mode ls can be fitted with th<'
e lectronically controlled Merced<'s uirbag as nn o ptional extra.

Mercedes exclusivity is
intrinsically valuable.
And economical.
In a Mercedes-Be nz SL, th e owner
e njoys a unique, compre hen ivc ble nd
of econom ical features, including re liability, low fuel consu1nption a nd an
exceptio nally high re-sa le va lue.
T h is means that Me rcedes- Be nz SL
mod e ls not o nl y have prestige va lu e, but.
a lso practical valuc. ltmean maximum

on compo ne nts whic h have proved
t he m e lves many thousand of times
over. J\ minimum like lihood of breakdown - due in part lo the care taken in
ma nufac ture an d finis hing a nd in t.hc
selection of to p-quality materia ls.
J\ lubri cation service on ly o nce every
10,000 km . A full service eve ry 20,000
km. And the Mercedes-Ben z service
network consists of over 5,000 service
poi nls in more t ha n 170 d iffc rc nl countries. This is a tre mendous advantage
for o ne of the more exclu ive - and
more rare - cars on the road. Eve rywhe re, th e comprehensive pac kage of
J\1c rccdcs-Bcnz custome r services is
avai lable; the care a nd expe rt knowledge of th e engineers, the ready availability of parts and the supe r bly o rganised emergency service.

This m eans that th<' individuality and

sporting character of the J\le rcedes SL
1node ls is supported by so mething unique and rea u ring- th e qua lity o f~l cr

The individuali tic c ha racter of these

cars is emphasised by th e practical and

exclusive optional extras availa ble, in
keeping with th e ir style a nd to the usual
Mercedes high sta nda rds of quality.
Ranging from seat heating, air conditioning or automa ti c climate control to
electrically o perated wi ndows (standard on the 500 SL) and th e headlainp
