Mercedes-Benz SL600

Quite a few cars from Mercedes-Benz are modern classics right from the beginning. Every model of the SL series is one, the series was established in 1954 by the 190 SL, which the company explicitly described as a touring sports car. At the same time the 300 SL Gullwing was presented, which can be put in the super sports category. The fourth SL generation was the R 129 series built from 1989 to 2001, which set standards with its design and its many innovations.

The design was the work of Bruno Sacco. It presents itself with the clear lines and strong sense of composure that characterises the appearance of a Mercedes-Benz vehicles from the outgoing 1980s well into the 1990s. In the case of the SL series this is complemented by the attributes of a touring sports car – long bonnet, two seats, compact rear end, all packed into a slightly wedge-shaped body, it all goes to make the SL an icon on wheels that signals dynamism and sportiness, but also comfort and elegance as well. The perfection of its design was recognised early on, in 1990 the R 129 series was the recipient of the Car Design Award.
