AUTOMOTIVE
Exterior design : balanced design with sporty genes
Characteristic features of the body design are the long wheelbase , the short overhangs , the long bonnet , the passenger compartment set back with a strongly raked windscreen and the powerful rear end . This results in the typical SL proportions . Together with the voluminously sculpted wheel arches and the large alloy wheels flush with the outer skin , they give the roadster its powerful , dynamic appearance . When closed , the seamlessly integrated soft top underscores the purist , sporty impression .
The AMG-specific radiator grille emphasises the effect of width of the front and , with its 14 vertical slats , cites the ancestor of all SL models , the legendary 300 SL racing sports car of 1952 . Other distinctive design elements include the slim , sharply outlined DIGITAL LIGHT LED headlamps and the equally extremely slim LED rear lamps .
