The Mercedes R231 SL

The Mercedes SL R231, launched in early 2012, is the newest edition to a sports car tradition that started in the mid-1950s. Occasionally called the luxury, but not anymore the light sports car, this newest entry makes one forget about some sporting deficiencies that haunted a few predecessors.

All engine variations, the AMG versions and the Special Editions are covered in this e-book and a test compares the SL500 with a BMW 650i Cabrio. Detailed technical specifications and acceleration graphs are included at the end of this guide.

This book is part of a series that covers all SL models. The author Bernd S. Koehling has so far over 25 books and e-books about Mercedes-Benz cars to his credit. They cover vehicles from the 1947 170V to the 2012 SL65 AMG.
