1986\u21921989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL<\/h1>\n

Mercedes-Benz launched their flagship 560 SL at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1985. It was sold alongside the 500 SL with minor external changes, improved front wheel suspension new brakes and a 5.6-liter V8 engine.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most powerful engine available was a 5.6-liter V8 with 272 hp. This engine was only used in Europe for the S-Class sedans, leaving only USA, Australia and Japan with a 560 SL convertible. These extra-European markets got a detuned version with a catalytic converter and only 230 hp because of the emissions regulations in these countries.<\/p>\n

The American-delivered cars were equipped with rubberized DOT-compliant bumpers and quad headlamps. Many were also fitted with a three-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n

Heavily equipped with stock amenities, the 560 SL had only two options: heated seats and electronically adjustable headrests.<\/p>\n
