SL成为一个模型梅赛德斯忘记了Ab吗out?

Let's be honest: The Mercedes AMG GT is a hype machine. When people first heard that Mercedes was building a proper 911-fighter, there was some skepticism.The SLS was a very cool car, but couldn't really be taken seriously against the Porsche. The AMG GT was a massive improvement over the SLSand the new hardcore GT Rjust proves even more that Mercedes is really ready to take on Stuttgart. But with all the hype around the AMG GT many people have forgotten another car.

Long before the AMG GT, or even the SLS for that matter, Mercedes had the SL. SL stands for Sportlich-Leicht, or Sport-Lightweight. The SL designation was first given to the 300 SL and was then moved to the SL-Series that we know today in 1963. The SL has come a long way since its early beginnings. What was once a lightweight roadster has slowly become a heavy, luxury cruiser. The SL reached a low point in 2012 with the sixth generation. The SL dropped a bit of weight over the previous generation, but new safety features all but nullified the weight savings. The biggest issue was the exterior. The SL wasn't the prettiest car in its fifth generation, but the sixth gen was downright ugly.

Luckily the 2017 SL has received a much-needed facelift. The SL's front end now looks much more like the S-Class coupe, which we believe is one of the best looking cars on the market. However, now that the S-Class Coupealso comes as a convertible, one must ask, "Why does Mercedes still make the SL?" The S-Class convertible is perfect for the individual who wants a Rolls-Royce Dawn but doesn't want to spend $300,000. If you just want something sporty with a drop top, the SLC is perfect. If you need two more seats, the C-Class convertible offers them. The AMG GT will soon get a convertible version as well, so if you are a speed freak, Mercedes has you covered.
