The most fascinating fifth generation SL-Class luxury roadster offers exceptional comfort, groundbreaking innovative technology, and class-leading design. It is built with an innovative electro hydraulically operated Vario roof that folds into the rear and converts the Coupe design to a Convertible design in just 16 seconds. The car is available in two variants in India, which are the SL 350 and the SL 500. The SL 350 is equipped with a Supercharged 3.0L V6 petrol engine that delivers 268 bhp, whereas the SL 500 is powered by a 5.5L V8 engine that serves up an impressive 382 bhp. Both engines are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission.
