1996 Mercedes SL500
1996 Mercedes SL500 pictures. This luxury convertible roadster has a removable hard top with a soft top hidden above the trunk. It has a 5.0 liter V-8 and 5-speed automatic transmission. It has a zero to sixty mph time of about six seconds. Only automatic transmission available when they were sold in the US, althought they were available in Europe with a manual. The rollbar is operated pneumatically with the push of a button and it automatically deploys in hazardous conditions. The handling is not as sporty as the appearance would lead one to believe. It is somewhat sporty but does not have the stiff suspension and responsiveness of a typical sports car.
