SL-Class (R129) Mercedes Enthusiast: SL60 AMG (R129) Review


The Mercedes-Benz R129 was introduced in 1989 as a two-passenger convertible with a removable hardtop — the first Mercedes-Benz to feature a fully automatic, hydraulically operated fabric convertible top. Produced from 1989 to 2002.
The ones that shocked me were the AMG W124 models like the E36 Cabriolet. What a car that must have been.

The x60 AMGs were the predecessors of the old naturally aspirated 55 AMG cars before they switched to the 3-valve design circa 98-99. I believe they cranked out around 380 horses. Back then, AMG was a special tuner rather than a full fledged department within MB.
