Face-Lift for Mercedes SL

At the Torino Car Show ((in Italy)) Mercedes presents the newest version of the SL. On the outside the roadster had been changed very little. An oval exhaust pipe outlet and a slightly changed rear of the car shall provide a more dynamic appearance.
The 17 inch light alloy rims now standard for all SL-models and an enhanced interior shall provide more splendour. Wooden inlays and leather front seats do come as standard from June ((1998)) on as well as ESP with SL500 and SL600. The most important changes are with the engine range: The new V6 and
V8 engines used with SL280, SL320 and SL600 with 204hp, 224hp and 306hp shall consume 11 per cent less gasoline than the old SL-engines due to three-valve-technique and double-ignition.
End of article translation by MBEP webmaster - As usual remarks in ((blabla)).
