Safe and Ultra comfortable, the 2008 2009 Mercedes SL-Class comes
in two distinct models - Mercedes SL500 Roadster and Mercedes
SL500 AMG. The first thing you notice about the new 2008 2009 Mercedes
SL-Class is that the cars in this family are fast. Lightning
fast. So fast, in fact, that SL-Class performance is heralded
as tops in the Mercedes brand overall. Whichever of these
models works for you, you'll agree that our Website offers
the best information about 2008 2009 Mercedes SL-Class performance
and SL-Class accessories online. For all of the newest information,
please check back frequently, as we update our SL-Class review
every month.
At the heart of both SL-Class models are some of the most
powerful engines on the road today:
- The SL500 Roadster comes standard with a 5.0-liter, 24-valve,
V-8 engine that delivers 302 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and
produces 339 pounds-per-foot of torque at 4,250 rpm
- The SL55 AMG Sedan comes standard with a AMG-built, supercharged
5.5-liter, 24-valve, V-8 engine that delivers 493 horsepower
at 6,100 rpm and produces 516 pounds-per-foot of torque
at 4,000 rpm
These engines aren't the only aspects of 2008 2009 Mercedes SL-Class
performance that are worth writing about; Sensotronic Brake
Control, the world's first electro-hydraulic braking system,
also is standard on both models. With innovations like this,
it's no wonder experts have issued Mercedes SL-Class reviews
that pit these cars second to none.
SL-Class performance isn't everything, though. When it comes
to design, the car's evocative profile, hooded instrument
panel, and finned side and hood air vents recall classic Mercedes-Benz
roadsters of the past, while monochromatic tail lamps with
LED lighting are decidedly modern and distinctive details.
On the inside, this attention to detail continues, with features
such as:
- Supple leather upholstery
- Heated 12-way adjustable seats
- CFC-free dual zone climate control
- 10-speaker Bose sound system
- Standard six-disc CD changer that automatically adjusts
to unwanted ambient noise
On top of all of this, there are a host of SL-Class accessories
you can buy to make your car even better. Some of these accessories
include chrome gas tank covers, grill nets, and more.
We end our SL-Class review with a word on safety. Mercedes
SL-Class performance has been engineered to be extremely protective
in an unpredictable world. Some of the car's standard safety
features include:
- Dual stage driver and passenger airbags
- Driver side knee bag
- Seatbelts with Emergency Tensioning Devices
- Brake Assist
- ABS
- ESP
- ASR Traction Control
- High-strength steel, pop-up roll bar
