Mercedes SL 400

It’s been around for a while, but the Mercedes SL still sets a hhigh standard for coupé-cabrio luxury ry

-

MERCEDES’ SL might be giving away a few years to the muchh newer ewer Lexus, but with a folding solid hard-top it offers something the LC can’t match. In theory, this roof should combine the refinement­ent of a coupé with an extra element to enjoy when the weather is good.ood.

In addition, the SL still delivers decent performanc­e on paper thanks to its turbtur bocharged V6 in the SL 400 model we’re testinging here. AMG Line trim adds a sportier feel to match the sharp-looking Lexus as well, and while it doesn’t boast the Japanese model’s two small rear seatseats, which could be a practicali­ty drawback, will the Mercedes’ age hamper its chances more in this battle?
