Mercedes-Benz SL-Class R129

1989 – 2001

The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, now marketed as Mercedes-AMG SL since 2022, is a long-standing grand touring sports car line produced by Mercedes-Benz since 1954. The "SL" in its name comes from the German phrase "Sport-Leicht," which translates to "Sport Light." The series began with the 300 SL in 1952, originally designed as a racing sports car without plans for a street version. However, in 1954, Max Hoffman, an American importer, proposed the idea of creating a street version to cater to wealthy performance car enthusiasts in the US, amidst a post-World War II surge in demand for luxurious personal vehicles. The exact origin of the "SL" designation remains uncertain, with possible connections to the 1931 Mercedes-Benz SSKL (Super Sport Kurz Leicht—Super Sport Short Light) model. The Mercedes-AMG SL series has evolved over decades to become a symbol of elegant high-performance automobiles, blending luxury with sportiness. These cars are known for their exceptional performance, advanced technology features, and distinctive design elements that appeal to discerning drivers seeking a balance between comfort and dynamic driving experiences. Key Points: - Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, now Mercedes-AMG SL, is a prestigious grand touring sports car line - "SL" stands for "Sport-Leicht," German for "Sport Light" - Originating in 1954, the series was originally based on the racing sports car 300 SL
