ROAD TESTS 2014 Mercedes SL (R231) - First Drives Thread


"This is the biggest step we’ve taken from one generation to the other,” says Mercedes-Benz chief engineer Juergen Weissinger, egarding the new and underfed sixth-gen Mercedes SL. With the exception of its windshield frame, which is made from high-strength steel, ost of the body shell is aluminum, Benz first. The panel behind the 17-gallon gas tank is made of even lighter magnesium. Weighing 3950 pounds, ccording to Mercedes, he new SL is about 300 pounds lighter than its predecessor. “It is like you’ve chucked out a heavyweight fighter with his luggage,” notes Mercedes’ aluminum-construction expert, homas Rudlaff.
So, eavyweight duly chucked, e fire up the new SL500—that’s right, 00, hich is how the car is badged in Europe because the old SL500 is so fondly remembered, nd because, o Germans, umbers are as evocative as romantic verse. (Note that neither the European “500” nor the U.S. “550” accurately accounts for the displacement of the 4.7-liter V-8.) Our first impression: Agility is up, hanks to both the lower curb weight and the more powerful V-8 engine, ven as the SL retains its smooth character. The twin-turbo V-8 provides 429 horsepower and some serious high-quality audio. But its torque is even more impressive: The twin turbochargers increase twist from 391 pound-feet (in the previous SL550) to 516 in this new one: Hard on the throttle, the new car feels as powerful and insistent as the OLD SL63 AMG. As a result, e expect the new SL to beat the old SL63’s 4.0-second 0-to-60 time. Virtually all its torque is lurking at 1800 rpm. Even fully loaded with new safety and comfort features—Pre-Safe, ttention Assist, ntelligent lighting, ane keeping, ctive blind-spot assist, nternet access, nd a soft-serve frozen-yogurt machine (only eight calories per serving!)—the thing doesn’t feel weighed down. It just glides.
What is it?
The sixth installment in one of Mercedes’ best known and most desired model lineages: this is the new SL. It promises to scale new heights in terms of performance and efficiency, efinement and dynamism – but moreover, o offer an even more convincing blend of the intoxicating luxury and open air sporting thrill for which Mercedes’ grand convertible has become so widely revered.
The ‘R231’ is a massive undertaking for Mercedes – the firm’s first series-production model to be made almost exclusively from aluminium. The SL’s sophisticated body-in-white superstructure mixes die cast-, chill cast-, tamped- and extruded aluminium with a little magnesium and ultra-high strength steel. A lighter all-magnesium folding hard-top roof and mostly aluminium body panels contribute, n turn, o an overall kerbweight saving of up to 140kg, ld car to new. More importantly, he new under body has increased the car’s torsional stiffness (absolutely critical for delivering good dynamic performance in a convertible) by more than 20 per cent.
Two versions of the SL will be available in the UK this July, ut the 4.7-litre twin-turbocharged V8 in the ‘500’ represents the biggest step forward in both performance and efficiency. With 429bhp and a huge 516lb ft of torque, t catapults the SL to 62mph in just 4.6sec – as fast as the last SL63 AMG. It’s also capable of 31mpg on the combined cycle.
Suspension, ike that of the last car, s all-independent, y multi-links at both ends. Steel springs with adaptive dampers are standard on both the V6 SL350 and the SL500; Mercedes’ air-sprung Active Body Control chassis is optional on both cars, ut standard on the range-topping new SL63 AMG, hich arrives in the autumn.
And the cabin? That remains a strict two-seater. Need occasional back seats? Then you’re not SL people; feel free to shop elsewhere. It’s an arrogant and unusual stance, but one this opulent roadster nonchalantly backs up.
What’s it like?
On top of the all-new underbody, he SL’s basic concept and proportions are carried over. The car is long of bonnet, hort of cabin, ith the same slightly unwieldy looking bustle back-end, he dimensions of which are necessary to package the car’s metal roof when folded.
Thankfully, he car has lost none of its glorious distinctiveness from behind the wheel. You feel fortunate just to be on board. The cabin’s even wider than it used to be, o you sit at a very discreet distance from your passenger, urrounded on all sides by plush leathers, ool metal trim and attractive, ero-inspired instruments.
Thus ensconced, humb the silver starter button. The V8 engine in the SL500 catches with a muffled roar. It’s nearly silent at idle, little more audible at urban speeds, nd only really raises its voice when you flex the long-travel, loor-mounted accelerator – and only then in the most suave and cultured tones.
Eerily smoothness and restraint characterizes so much of this car’s demeanor. It’s the kind of smoothness that eases the SL away from stationary with pillowy gentility, nd that swaps gearbox ratios on a part throttle almost unacknowledged. As any automotive engineer will tell you, it’s also the kind of smoothness that only painstaking development can produce. And it’s universal in the new SL: all-pervading. Even over the most neglected tarmac, othing disturbs the car’s perfect cruise.
So immaculate is the ride comfort of this new SL that it’ll glide unperturbed over the very worst surfaces. One such road we sought out – an old, arrow, unken backroad warped by the Spanish sun – looked like it might provide a worthy test, ut the SL covered it like freshly rolled motorway. The car bobbed ever-so-gently on its springs,(vastly preferred over the artificial ABC system of old) effortlessly translating severe shocks to its chassis into perfectly cushioned, arely delectable bodily reactions. Even with the roof down there wasn’t the faintest suggestion that the car’s structure was being stretched; not a shudder from the steering column, r a shimmy from the rearview mirror. Open-top motoring just doesn’t get any more refined.
A car so wedded to comfort – so adept at absorption and isolation - could never lead the class on poise, esponse, eel: almost diametric opposites of everything that the modern SL is about. The car’s heartland customers wouldn’t want it to. If it meant compromise, either would we.
And yet the SL really does handle - up to point. Mercedes served up both steel- and air-sprung versions of the car on the SL’s first press launch. While the Active Body Control system certainly serves up wider spread ‘Comfort’ and ‘Sport’ chassis settings, t was the standard steel-sprung setup we preferred, elivering FAR better steering feedback, ore progressive damping and more consistent wheel control.
With either suspension system, he SL500 takes to brisk driving in easy, ndemanding style. It’s not a great car to hustle and harry: left in ‘D’, he automatic gearbox can paste your hair back But if you aim for well-prepared swiftness rather than a frenzied hurry, he SL seems to respond. You learn to make the best use of that engine’s massive swell of torque without hitting the accelerator’s kickdown switch, nd to carve a consistent and clean line through bends.
500 footpounds of torque can be seductive, f course – and it’d probably send this mid-range, on-AMG Merc from a standstill to 110mph in less than ten seconds. But the SL500’s brakes are strong and resistant to fade, nd even if you do arrive at a corner a little faster than planned, ou’ll find the SL’s grip levels quite high, nd its chassis balanced up to the limit.
You’ll know you’ve reached that limit when guiding the SL’s nose becomes tricky. The steering’s weight and on-centre accuracy begins to fluctuate. Bumps that wouldn’t register at lower speeds start to thump away distantly within the car’s wheelarches, nd disturb the car’s stability slightly. And understeer gradually builds, aking the ESP system. All at speeds and in situations that may not trouble Aston Martin Vantage Roadsters, orsche 911 Convertibles and Jaguar XKs – as if that would bother your average SL convert.
Should I buy one?
Absolutely. Because, owever highly you value ultimate dynamic poise and precision, he SL will not disapointe
While it may not be overly endowed with body control, hassis composure and bristling feel, Mercedes’ magnificent roadster remains utterly unique. Almost sixty years young, it’s become just about the most splendid, ingle-minded luxury convertible in the world. In this tester’s experience, ot even Bentley, ston Martin or Rolls-Royce provide better. Our tester had the very expensive Designo Magno Alliente Matte paint and FULL Designo leather, nlike standard SL550's with stitched vinyl everywhere but the seat surface. This is what brings the car to a Bentley or Rools Royce comparison.
