The new SL-Class


Though its proportions seem similar to the current model, a closer inspection reveals a few subtle differences such as the shorter rear overhang and the taller hood, not to mention the now-familiar, more SLS-like family face.

Set to go on sale late next summer, the new car will adopt styling influences seen on the new SLK and SLS AMG and even the new CLS, which will share a similar tail-light design.The adoption of lightweight aluminum will improve the handling, ride, performance and fuel economy
 of the new Mercedes-Benz SL, which in current form weighs between 3,860 and 4,500 pounds depending on which model and options are chosen.


Much of the new SL’s components will also be shared with the SLS AMG, including drivetrains, suspension and electrical systems.
