Iconic cars such as the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class must evolve in such a way as to not alienate its own roots. Given that Mercedes-Benz has such a storied past, redesigning this car is a very difficult and delicate task.

We can tell you with certainty that the luxury brand from Stuttgart has done with subtle but substantial changes. The new car retains its undeniable elegance all the while affording itself a masterful stance and all the performance one could desire.

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL is powered by a new 429 hp, 4.6L twin-turbo V8. This is enough to propel the car from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.5 seconds.
