2008 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SL600

2008 Mercedes-Benz 600-Series SL600 Description

The 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL rides like the big, comfortable grand-touring car that it is, at least in part. The ride is rather firm, yet the suspension soaks up even the larger bumps, and the body stays relatively flat in cornering. Thank the standard Active Body Control (ABC) system, which uses hydraulics to eliminate excess body motion and enhance the SL''''s cornering performance while maintaining ride comfort. This model comes with a clever retractable hardtop system that actually aids body stiffness. With the top down, it stows itself away in a section of the already spacious trunk, leaving enough room for weekend bags. With the top up, the SL is remarkably refined and quiet inside, with very little road or wind noise; with the top down, the SL is very well designed with little wind turbulence. An AMG Sport Package brings the appearance; it includes larger wheels and high-performance tires, the AMG front air dam and rear apron, and other extras.
