The Mercedes-Benz SL 500 has a retractable hardtop that turns the SL into a convertible in 16 seconds, leaving 206 liters of trunk space. Incorporates traditional Mercedes-Benz aesthetics, reflecting power and dynamic elegance. New roof system adds to the rigidity of the car versus a soft-top and dampens noise better. Since its introduction, Mercedes has sold 12,655 cars and many customers are still on a waiting list.
