Video: A six-generation look at the Mercedes SL Roadster Hollywood-style


 
  news 
 

Anytime you come from a lineage that traces its roots back to the Mercedes 300 SL Roadster, the shoes you’re filling are about as big as the craters on the moon.

The new Mercedes SL Roadster is part of that family and while the jury is still out on how the car will be looked at years from now, it’s safe to say that its heritage will play a big part in determining whether the car turns out to be a classic.

To give us an idea on the family tree the new SL Roadster comes from, Mercedes-Benz reporter, Matthew K, dives into the six decades of the SL’s lineage, all the way back to when the 300 SL was the unquestioned king of the road.

True to fashion, Mercedes even added a slice of Hollywood into the video, further accentuating the kind of car the Mercedes SL was...and still is.

I may be the only one who never got fond to any of these. Its style has always been bland and at the same time, eccentric.

It’s astonishing to see SL’s changes through time. The whole evolution models appealed greatly to people.

Even if newer cars come into the scene, this will always be a legendary icon.
