2000 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Overview

Introduction

The SL-Class, Mercedes-Benz' well-constructed, stately, 2-seat roadsters, are built in small volumes for customers with exclusive tastes.

The SL-Class is available in two models, the SL500 and the SL600, each of which comes as hard-top 2-door roadster. The drive trains on the SL-Class range from the 5.0L V-8 engine, which produces 302 hp @ 5600 and 339 lb-ft @ 2700 rpm in the SL500, to the more powerful 6.0L V-12 engine, which outputs 389 hp @ 5200 rpm and 420 lb-ft @ 3800 rpm in the SL600. Both models come standard with a 5-speed automatic transmission and 17” tires. Standard features on the SL-Class also include: ABS and driveline, front and side air bags, and an automatically deployable rollover bar behind the seats.

For 2000, the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class carries-over with little change.
