Mercedes-Benz SL 280
(1993 - 2001)
Car articles about Mercedes-Benz SL 280 by year
It took almost eight years to develop and prepare for production, and then the cab drivers refused to accept progress, even organizing protest rallies because they preferred the predecessor. And today, almost 35 years later, the Mercedes-Benz 124 model series is known as the last "real" Mercedes. Over two million saloons were built over 11 years, and today they are as popular as their predecessors. This report describes the history of the 124 model series, portrays a 280 E from 1993 and explains how it feels today, 25 years after its production.
When Mercedes-Benz launched the SLK in 1996, the car had no direct role model. You actually had to look back to the 190 SL to find a predecessor. But there were more parallels to that model than you might have guessed at first glance. The SLK made its mark and established an entire generation of folding-roof convertibles. This driving report focuses on the SLK 230 and tells the story of this innovative model, illustrated with current and historical photos as well as sales literature from the time.
