About the 560 SL history:
The 560 SL (1985 to 1989) was designed as an export model for the American, Australian and Japanese markets and was never officially offered in Europe. The «bumpers» of the US models, which are often described as ugly, are rust-free.
These 560 US versions were delivered from the factory with largely full equipment. The only optional extra available was heated seats. The US models W107 (from 1971) were already equipped with the drive technology of the upcoming S-Class W116 and henceforth also for the V8 models of the 107 series in the USA. The automatic vehicles for the USA with the 4.5 liter eight-cylinder got a torque wall instead of the previous Föttinger clutch (clutch only with impeller and turbine wheel) and four-speed automatic!
As a result of the changed US legislation, longer bumpers equipped with shock absorber elements were installed, which have to withstand an impact at up to 8 km/h without permanent damage to the body. The look of this USA-SL became known as the «Dallas look» through television series.
The new SL set new standards in the field of passive safety: Béla Barényi’s safety concept with crumple zones at the front and rear and the rigid passenger cell – the «three-box principle» – was also reflected in the 1971 SL. The backbone of the R 107 was not simply a shortened and reinforced sedan floor assembly as in the predecessor, but an independent frame floor system with a closed cardan tunnel and box-shaped cross and longitudinal members, the special feature of which was the different sheet thicknesses and the resulting defined crumple behavior.
Since the SL was supposed to be an open car without a Targa bar, the only safety potential for the roadster in the event of a rollover was the A-pillars and windscreen. Developed from the ground up, they were 50 percent stronger than the previously built version. In addition, the windscreen was glued into the frame to increase strength. This resulted in considerable resilience in the roof drop test, which meant that the open car was permitted in the USA even without a targa bar. The rear window in the hardtop was also glued.
There were even trend-setting innovations in the interior. The dashboard was impact compliant and foam padded in both the upper and knee areas. Another novelty was the four-spoke steering wheel, built based on the findings of the accident researchers. What remained was the tried-and-tested impact absorber; but the steering wheel rim, the four spokes, padding plate and hub are foamed with polyurethane. A telescopic safety steering column and the steering gear located behind the front axle complement the safety measures under the sheet metal. The vehicles have three-point belts as standard. The door handles were also newly designed so that they do not spring open by themselves after an accident, but can still be opened by hand.
The top of the SL was easy to operate – the “fastest” of all cabriolets and roadsters. As with its predecessors, it disappears under a cover when it is folded down.
