Even the needles on the dials of the newly-designed instrument cluster are as dynamic as a drive in the SL – as soon as the ignition is switched on they swing out vigorously: the new 3-spoke steering wheel features gearshift paddles: one at each side of the steering wheel. With them you can shift gear particularly swiftly. On request, direct steering is available, too. It offers, in addition to the steering assistance of the standard speed-sensitive steering, an even more direct steering ratio for urban driving and driving in tight bends.
But it isn’t only the technical fine points of the new SL that fascinate. Laterally reinforced integral seats, upholstered in leather, nappa leather or nappa exclusive leather, invite you to get in. Add to this the electric seat adjustment and the standard memory function (optional for the SL 280), which stores seat settings for up to three vehicle users and moves the driver’s seat to the desired position at the touch of a button. The lumbar support, also standard, can be filled with air and supports the spine. And, so that even middle-to-fair weather does not manage to dampen your high spirits, a seat heating is also installed ex works – and in the SL 600 and SL 65 AMG models, climatised seats as well.
