Der Vorgänger R 107 war ganze 18 Jahre im Programm, da startete
Mercedes 1989 eine technische und optische Offensive. Ursprünglich –
im Jahre 1955 – war der Roadster im Mercedes Programm ein nur wenig
getarnter Rennwagen gewesen, doch den neuen R 129 baute man auf der
S-Klasse auf. Der „Gentleman-Driver“ war das Ziel. Deshalb steckte in den
neuen Roadstern und Limousinen so viel Elektronik und elektrische Helfer-
lein wie in keinem SL zuvor. Die Motoren wurden elektronisch geregelt, es
gab ESP und ABS, das tatsächlich sportliches Fahren ermöglichte. Neben
einem vollautomatischen Dämpfungssystem fand sich auch ein im Sitz
integriertes Gurtsystem. Die Sitze fuhren elektrisch vor und zurück, und bei
der offenen Version faltete sich das Dach dank Elektromotoren zusammen
und verschwand spurlos hinter den Sitzen. Für den Fall eines Überschlags
hielt Mercedes einen in 0,3 Sekunden ausfahrenden Bügel bereit, der
die Insassen schützte. Der faszinierende Sportwagen vereinte Leistung,
Sicherheit, Fahrvergnügen und Komfort auf einem hohen Niveau, das
kein anderes Fahrzeug zu der Zeit bieten konnte. Dazu kam das elegante
Äußere der von Bruno Sacco mit italienischen Flair und schwäbischer
Zuverlässigkeit gestylten Karosserie. Die Karosserie wirkte durch ihre
glatten Flächen eleganter und gefälliger als die des Vorgängers.
Dieser Großangriff auf die begeisterten Fahrer hatte seinen Preis. Satte
102.200,00 DM forderte Mercedes 1989 für dieses Modell. Doch kurz nach
dem Erscheinen boten besonders Ungeduldige bis zu 50.000,00 DM mehr
für laufende Kaufverträge. Zum Vergleich kostete ein VW Golf II je nach
Ausstattung damals um die 20.000,00 DM.
Verschiedene Motoren, die jeweils aus dem Limousinen-Programm der
S-Klasse stammten, sorgten für ordentlichen Fahrspaß. So lieferte der
drehfreudige Sechszylindermotor des ebenfalls ab 1989 erhältlichen 300
SL-24 Coupés mit 2.960 cm³ Hubraum und Vierventiltechnik 231 PS (170
KW) Leistung, die Höchstgeschwindigkeit des Coupés lag bei 240 km/h.
Trotzdem blieb das Fahren in diesem Fahrzeug der Extraklasse immer eine
entspannte Übung. Dafür sorgten schon die serienmäßigen Schalensitze
und die ausgefeilte Heizungs- und Lüftungstechnik. Mercedes 300 SL sind
bis heute beliebt und begehrt. Mercedes baute in den Jahren 1989 bis
2001 insgesamt 204.940 Exemplare des R 129, 39.004 Exemplare davon
waren 300 SL.
The predecessor of this car, the R 107, had been in the range for all of 18
years, when in 1989 Mercedes started a technical and visual offensive.
Originally – in 1955 – the roadster in the Mercedes range was a lightly
disguised racing car, but the new R 129 was based on the S Class. It was
aimed at the “gentleman driver”. So the new roadsters and saloons had
more electronics and electrical aids than any previous SL. The engines
were electronically controlled; they had ESP and ABS, which actually
made them sporty to drive. In addition to a fully automatic damping system
the seat belts were also integrated into the seats. The seats moved
backwards and forwards electronically and in the open top version the roof
was opened and closed by electric motors and disappeared without trace
behind the seats. The Mercedes received an anti-roll bar that came out in
0.3 seconds to protect the passengers in the event of a rollover. The
fascinating sports car combined performance, safety, pleasure and
comfort to a degree that no other car of its time could offer. In addition it
had the elegant appearance of bodywork styled with Italian flair by Bruno
Sacco combined with German reliability. The bodywork with its smooth
lines was more elegant and attractive than that of its predecessors.
This major onslaught on enthusiastic drivers had its price. In 1989
Mercedes asked all of 102,200 DM for this model. But shortly after its
appearance impatient buyers were offering up to 50,000 DM more than the
current purchase price. By comparison, a VW Golf II then cost about
20,000 DM depending on the fittings.
A variety of engines originating from the S Class saloon range ensured a
thoroughly enjoyable drive. The lively 6-cylinder engine of the 300 SL-24
coupé, which was also available from 1989, with a capacity of 2,960 cc
and four-valve technology delivered 231 bhp (170 kW) with a top speed of
240 km/h. Nevertheless, driving this top-of-the range car always remained
a relaxing experience. This was assured by the body-contoured seats
supplied as standard and the refined heating and air conditioning
technology. Mercedes 300 SL models are still popular and in demand
today. In the years from 1989 to 2001 Mercedes built a total of 204,940
examples of the R 129, of which 39,004 were the 300 SL model.
