Mercedes SL-Class

It was born to win races. And spent half a century capturing hearts.

Developed as a racecar, coveted as a sports car, and cherished for generations as a dream car, no other automobile can claim its history of innovation, imagination and adoration. When did it first take hold of your heart? Was it hurtling around a track, poised on the auto show carpet, or just courting your glance from a neighbor's driveway? Wherever it started, you remember. And ever since, you've envisioned yourself behind the wheel, top-down, irresistibly drawn toward the horizon by the persuasive pull of its engine — and a gentle sunny breeze at your back. This is not just a sports car. It's a Mercedes-Benz sports car. Born to capture the checkered flag. Engineered to romance the road. For 57 years, destined to fuel your love of driving. This is the 2011 SL-Class.
