History

Elegance in motion.

The 190 SL served as a more accessible alternative to the prestigious Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, while still sharing its core styling and engineering features. It boasted fully independent suspension with double wishbones at the front and swing axles at the rear, ensuring a smooth and dynamic driving experience. The robust R121 structure, derived from the W121 base saloon, provided a solid foundation for this stylish roadster.

Under the hood, the 190 SL was powered by a newly developed 1.9-liter straight-four SOHC engine, delivering 105 PS (77 kW; 104 hp). This engine, based on the 300 SL’s straight-six, featured twin-choke dual Solex carburetors and produced 120 hp (89 kW; 122 PS) in its most potent form. This powertrain ensured that the 190 SL offered a spirited and enjoyable driving experience, perfectly balancing performance and refinement.
