The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class (formerly known as the SL Roadster) is a grand tourer manufactured by Mercedes since 1954. The designation SL derives from the German Sport Leicht, or Sport Lightweight and was first applied to the 300SL. This classic collector car comes equipped with rear wheel drive, a front positioned engine and a Bruno Sacco-designed 2 door convertible/cabriolet body style. The Mercedes-Benz 500 SL belongs to the R 129 range of cars from Mercedes-Benz.Its engine is a naturally aspirated petrol, 5 liter, double overhead camshaft 8 cylinder with 4 valves per cylinder. In this application it has an output of 322 bhp (326 PS/240 kW) of power at 5500 rpm, and maximum torque of 450 N·m (332 lb·ft/45.9 kgm) at 4000 rpm. This power is transferred to the wheels by means of a 4 speed automatic gearbox. Do not miss your chance to own a R129 Series 1989 Mercedes Benz limited 500SL with an AMG PACKAGE. Below is Supercars.net description of this spectacular car! At the Geneva Motor Show in March 1980 the SL and SLC presented themselves in updated form. The interior appointments including steering wheel were matched to those of the 126-series S-Class, and the engineering was brought up to the same level. The new 500 SL, equipped with the 5.0-litre V8 (M 117) familiar from the 450 SLC 5.0, replaced the 450 SL and made an output of 177 kW at 5000 rpm available, to give the new top-of-the-range model a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration of 7.8 seconds and a top speed of 225 km/h. From the outside the new models were almost indistinguishable from the previous models, except for the model plate. All three SL models now had a light-alloy bonnet and the discreet front spoiler familiar from the 450 SLC 5.0; the 500 SL also got a light-alloy boot lid with black plastic rear spoiler, already familiar from the five-litre Coupé. But even after ten years of production no thought was being given to a replacement for the SL models. Four years after the Energy Concept was presented, they even came in for extensive refinements, and so in September 1985, again at the Frankfurt show, a completely revised SL model range was introduced. The emphasis was on a restructured engine range. A discreet facelift, primarily recogni from the front spoiler and wheels with aluminium rims (diameter: 38.10 centimetres), was also part of the package. The front axle was done over and the brakes enlarged with fixed callipers. To prevent the cars from pulling to one side during braking, the steering offset was reduced. The 5.0-litre engine (M 117) also was modified; with catalytic converter operation in mind it now had an electronic ignition system and the electronically/mechanically controlled Bosch KE-Jetronic injection system and developed an output of 180 kW at 4750 rpm. With catalytic converter the output was 164 kW at 4700 rpm. These values helped the 500 SL attain a top speed of 225 km/h (with catalytic converter: 215 km/h) and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds (7.8 seconds).
