First images of 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL
These here are the first images of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. Basically a facelift with a new front end, a resculpted rear bumper and updated interior trim, the car tries to look like a weird version of the 1950s SL which had upward-swinging gullwing doors. Normal doors on this one though.
The photo above is of the SL 63 AMG, while the photo below is of the SL 350.
The rear end is largely unchanged except for the lower part of the bumper.
The interior remains familiar, but with some enhancements, such as those fans in the rear part of the headrests to ventilate your neck area.
We assume the car should arrive in the Middle East by this summer, although technically it hasn’t even been officially launched yet.

Dear Chowdhury, I saw a ford model in Dubai Motor show called “S-Max”. Do you have any clue from FORD about the time that this car is going to be in our country??!

i have been waiting to see what the new SL looked like coz its been like nearly 5 years since the current one’s been running…but hey was expecting something in the line of something totally different…i mean hey Mercedes is in for real trouble if they r gonna compare this to the Beemer M6 or the Audi R8… i mean those look much more classy and sporty compared to this!
