Mercedes-Benz 230 SL 2.8L

The Mercedes-Benz 230 SL 2.8L was introduced in 1971 as a limited production variant. It features a 2.8L inline-six engine producing 170 hp and was designed to bridge the gap between the 230 SL and the next generation. This variant offered improved performance and a refined driving experience, making it a noteworthy addition to the W113 lineup, though it was short-lived.
