Mercedes Benz - Coupes
SL 500
At Mercedes-Benz, design is not about following
trends. It's about individual character. Since they recognize that
exceptional people demand exceptional quality and style, every Mercedes-Benz
vehicle is fashioned to set Mercedes-Benz drivers apart from the
crowd. And now, with more custom options than ever before, every
SL500 is truly a reflection of personal style and taste.
The limits of performance are found in extremes.
For Mercedes-Benz, only the supercharged intensity of the racetrack
is sufficient to test their performance systems. And because their
engines win on the track, you know they'll perform wonders in the
SL500 -- even in the most demanding of conditions.
