2013 Mercedes-Benz SL 550 overview in pictures

A true automotive grenade - The new SL, for the first time, is made almost entirely from aluminum and weighs 275 lbs (125 kg) less than its predecessor. This, together with MB's new BlueDIRECT engines which are up to 29% more economical, yet more powerful, combine to provide exhilarating performance while maintaining the comfort and smoothness which Mercedes-Benz customers have come to expect.
