Mercedes-Benz has revealed an updated version of the existing SL called the Grand Edition ahead of the planned launch of an all-new eighth-generation model engineered by AMG in 2020.
Set to make its public debut at the upcoming 2019 Geneva motor show, the SL Grand Edition is planned to go on sale in the UK next month.
It will be sold in two versions: the 362bhp turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine powered SL400 and the 440bhp turbocharged 4.6-litre V8 petrol engine powered SL500.
Each model comes in the choice of four metallic colour schemes, including two black tones as well as grey and white.
Also included are standard 19-inch front and 20-inch rear 10-spoke forged alloy wheels in a combination of black and silver as well a sports suspension that lowered the ride height of the upmarket roadster by 10mm.
Inside, the SL400 and SL500 Grand Edition models both receive a brown leather interior previously offered as an option among Mercedes-Benz’s high-end Designo label.
Further standard features include the German car maker’s Airscarf seat back mounted neck heater, seats with active side support and an air conditioning function and a so-called Driving Assistance Plus Package with Active Parking Assist.
