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.
Looks gorgeous, but I don't like the bulge of the AMG versions...The standard bonnet looks cleaner, lighter, at least on pics. However i love the fact that AMG now will have a different look than regular+AMG bodykit.

Wonderful car though!!! Already love it much more than the pre-FL!!!

That is a fabulous pic...Colour, view, car, everything's just out of this world!!!

Oh damn that gorgeous.

PS Since the facelift has been drastic, wouldn't it be suitable to start a new picture thread for the face lifted model?
 
Awesome indeed.. the only thing I don`t like is the vents on the AMG version,
not sporty enough. The ones on the normal SL look way better.
 
Wow. The SL has gone from pretty and beautiful to bold and agressive. Perfect for the AMG version. We should be getting a lot more official pics during the reveal tomorrow.

Such a great colour that. Takes the good from red and maron and morphs it into a truely stunning paint job. Thanks for the images Merc1.

It is official. This car has grown on me! Stunning work, as always, Mercedes Benz...

I feel the same way. It looked awful and a bit squat in the official shots, but in those pictures it looks nice.
 
Those head rests look like alien head. I wonder if MB designed them like that on purpose.
 
It isn't standard for SLK and SL!!

The option costs:

470 € for SLK

and shocking 595 € for SL (even 600 and 65!!) :t-crazy2:

Seriously?? Then why are they advertising it like it's a no cost option.
 
Autospies comes through again. These are the best real life picture of the SL yet:










(gulp!)




The only zit is that chrome piece, hopefully it comes in body color too!
