The story behind this collectible...
Most of great works of art follow classical form. And a rare few create it- Mercedes-Benz
In early 1996, the vision for the R230 became a reality, after which a thorough development process was initiated. Designing began on Jan. 27, 1996, with submissions of concept designs by ten designers from Germany, California and Japan. Hundreds of sketches were made, resulting in the creation of twelve quarter-scale models, which were later digitized for computer manipulation.
Design evolution: The R230's design broke traditional boundaries, using advanced technology such as the "CAVE" (Computer Aided Virtual Environment). Here, a supercomputer was used to convert quarter-scale designs into life-size images, allowing designers to perfect every detail.
The SL R230 offered several engine configurations, ranging from a 3.0 Liter V6 to a 6.0 Liter Bi-turbo V12, with several superchargers and eight cylinder configurations in between! Our version? Originally from Germany, equipped with the 5.0L V8 and virtually every possible option checked. Always meticulously maintained and recently received a comprehensive service. An additional sports exhaust system and AMG rims give this hardtop convertible a distinct look it absolutely deserves!
Take a seat in the leather seats, look out over the long hood. With the push of a button, the hardtop is stowed and you can finally start enjoying driving the German eight-cylinder outdoors! We are ready to assist you in your choice.
