2009 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

2009 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is an elegant hardtop convertible with performance that ranges from exhilarating to absolutely stunning, depending on the model. Its retractable hard top offers superior sound and weather insulation, along with added security, compared to conventional fabric roofs. The rear wheels are driven by a choice of smooth eight- and 12-cylinder engines. Those looking for a comfortable and stylish drop top should choose the standard SL-Class, while high-performance AMG variants draw enthusiasts looking for an alternative to rawer sports cars such as the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet. However, no manual transmission is offered in the Mercedes. This roadster coddles occupants with a rich, leather-trimmed interior that is comfortable and spacious. The trunk is likewise impressively accommodating.
