Mercedes has been seducing the driving public with its iconic SL (Sport Light) sports car since the first street-legal version debuted in 1954. As soon as that original’s gullwing doors set aloft, the Mercedes-Benz SL cemented itself as a classic. Other memorable coupe and convertible versions followed, each with its own place in pop culture history. More recently, Mercedes introduced the seventh-generation SL. This one stands out for its standard all-wheel drive system and four-passenger seating, both firsts for the SL roadster. These traits, plus standard AMG tuning, allow the car to appeal to the same people who buy the Porsche 911.
