The Mercedes-Benz SL 500 R231, unveiled in March 2012, marks the sixth generation of the SL range, replacing the R230. This roadster adopts an aluminum structure, reducing its weight by 140 kg compared to its predecessor. Under the hood, it features a 4.7-liter twin-turbo V8 developing 435 horsepower, coupled to an automatic transmission.

The design, led by Frank Pfisterer and Mark Fetherston, was finalized in 2010 after a process that began in 2007. This model introduces a retractable hardtop with an optional variable-tint panoramic roof. Among the innovations, the MAGIC VISION CONTROL system adapts the projection of windshield washer fluid directly onto the path of the wiper blades to avoid any visibility discomfort.

In terms of equipment, the R231 integrates advanced technologies, such as the Active Body Control suspension system (optional), traffic sign recognition, and the PRE-SAFE system that anticipates accident situations. The cabin benefits from a FrontBass audio system, exploiting the sound boxes in the chassis. This model abandons the V12 engine for the first time except AMG versions and illustrates the evolution of the SL towards greater lightness and electronic assistance.
