SL-Class (R230) Mercedes-Benz SL-Class R230 Picture Thread


The Mercedes-Benz R230, introduced in 2001, continues the evolution of R129 with smoother body design and new peanut-shaped headlamp design. The fifth-generation SL-Class featured a 'Vario Roof' retractable hardtop. Production: 2001-2011.

Everything is good, except for these tacky side grills/vents. I still prefer the previous version.
 
I'll take them both please. Why would a rich person need to choose?

Looks cheap in red
The "old" one looks great in Black...:-) Trying not to be partial but I still think the '09 does not have the appeal of the '08. I like the upgraded interior features more on the '09, but the exterior of the '08 is just more classic and unique. In fact when I compare mine with the red one above, the '08 looks like a later version...?
 
The R129 is likely my favorite Mercedes-Benz of all time. Thanks for the pics.
