About Mercedes-Benz SL450
Mercedes-Benz has produced a whole range of vehicles throughout the years. They designate different cars using Class names. One of these would be the SL-Class, which are grand touring sports cars that have been in production since 1954. The "SL" in the name stands for super light and there have been many different models. The Mercedes-Benz SL400 received a facelift during this year and was renamed the SL450 on the US market. The Mercedes-Benz SL450 is a variant of the R107 SL-Class. It was introduced for the 1973 model year. The Mercedes-Benz SL450 is offered with a 4.5L V8 engine that generates 222hp, which is sent to drive the rear wheels via manual and automatic transmission options. The production of the Mercedes-Benz SL450 lasted until 1980 when the model series was discontinued. The Mercedes-Benz SL450 uses an 8-cylinder engine in various displacements which are decent when it comes to reliability.
This 3850-pound Mercedes-Benz SL450 weighed 300 pounds less than the last V-8–powered SL550. The lighter weight of the V-6 in the nose also does wonders for handling. Although it is certainly not as nimble as a Porsche 911, the SL turns in sharply, feels supremely balanced, and carries its mass well through corners. The steering is accurate and confidence-inspiring, although we wish for a more road feel. Riding on Bridgestone Potenza S001 tires, staggered 285 millimeters wide in the rear and 255 in the front, the Mercedes-Benz SL450 gripped the skidpad at 0.93 g and stopped from 70 mph in 159 feet.

The 2017 model gets more grunt to correspond with its badge uptick. It adds an extra 33 horses from its twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 for a new total of 362 horsepower. More cylinders are available in the 449-hp V-8 SL550, the AMG-fettled V-8 SL63 with 577 horsepower, and the AMG SL65 with 621 horsepower. But the six-cylinder SL450 moves well to make these higher-powered versions seem overly indulgent. It is, of course, exactly why they exist.
