2dr Roadster 560SL Two-seater Passenger Car
Low, Low miles on this most excellent MBZ Roadster. Just beautiful, you will not be disappointed.
In 1986, Mercedes-Benz shipped its most powerful SL of the decade to the U.S. in the 560SL. Mercedes produced the new 5.6-liter V-8 engine for the 560 giving it 227 hp and 287 lb-ft of torque. Top speed was much improved (from 110 mph in the 380SL to 130 mph), and the car was quicker from a standstill to 60 mph by about 4 full seconds.
The engine was much torquier, too, which greatly improved the cars’ dynamics. Likewise, the car received a new rear suspension and a limited-slip differential to better handle the added torque and power. Mercedes-Benz also added anti-lock brakes, leather upholstery, an alarm system, and an air bag.
Mercedes retired the R107 chassis in 1990 and introduced the first all-new SL in 18 years.
Today, many enthusiasts gravitate towards the 560SL as it retains some of the original lines of the pagoda SLs while carrying with it all of the R107’s advances. It remains a popular choice for those enthusiasts who value verve and build quality.
