Few sounds are more satisfying than the baritone rumble of a big
V8. And few big V8s are more satisfying than that of the SL 500.
Its 388 hp (285kW) ensures exhilarating acceleration, with 0 to
62
mph taking just 5.4 seconds. And its 530Nm of torque and
smooth delivery make it a pleasure at any speed.
These impressive figures are the result of refinements such as a
specially developed 32-valve cylinder head. Its continuously variable
camshafts ensure optimum combustion at all times, maximising
the engine’s performance, while reducing its fuel consumption
and emissions.
