Under Technical Director Nallinger, plans were already afoot to build a smaller sports car, on a platform chassis, as the company\u2019s first postwar production sports car. This new car, which featured a 4-cylinder engine modeled along the lines of the 300 SL\u2019s larger 6-cylinder, was dubbed the 190 SL and would end up being built from May 1955 until February 1963.
