Unveiled at the March 1989 Geneva Motor Show, the new
Mercedes-Benz R129-series SL range was beautifully engineered.
Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell, its sophisticated
all-round independent suspension (double-wishbone front / five-link
rear) was augmented by a host of active and passive safety features
including: electronic stability control, ventilated ABS disc
brakes, adaptive-damping shock absorbers, front airbags and an
integral rollover bar that deployed in less than a third of a
second if the car ever sensed an impending flip. Suitably
cosseting, the convertible's impeccably built cabin was a fully
automated power hood and featured such advancements as memory
seats, electric windows/mirrors and an adjustable steering column.
Yet lurking beneath all the luxury and refinement was a performance
orientated sports car.
