Facts about the model
As was typical with every new Mercedes-Benz generation, the R129 represented a significant leap forward. In addition to reviving styling cues from the iconic Gullwing, Mercedes set out to lead the industry in advanced technology and exclusive design. The company also emphasized how the new SL combined its heritage of high-performance roadsters, luxurious coupés, and refined sedans into a single model.
What had previously seemed impossible was now a reality: a beautifully styled sports car offering outstanding performance and comfort while meeting the highest safety standards. As Mercedes proudly stated in the original sales brochure: "Here, tradition is combined with innovation. Safety with comfort. All at an exceptionally high—indeed incomparable—level."
The range initially consisted of the 300 SL-24 and the 500 SL. Over the years, the R129 was offered with a wide variety of engines, including inline-six, V6, V8, and V12 powerplants. A facelift arrived for the 1994 model year, followed by further updates in 1996 and a more comprehensive facelift for the 1999 model year. Mercedes continued to introduce both minor and major technical improvements each year until production ended in 2002, when the R230 successor was launched.
In total, 213,089 examples of the R129 were produced.
