在1960年代,Mercedes-Benz 開始研發一系列運動型汽車,這些車型以高性能為特點,同時非常注重符合不斷擴大的「豪華」車市場需求的駕駛體驗。「SL」這個縮寫(代表 Sport 和 Leicht,即運動和輕量化)用來標識這些多年間不斷演化並推向市場的車型。
在1970年代,這家德國汽車集團推出了 R107 和 C107 系列,包括敞篷車(Roadster)和雙門跑車(Coupé)版本,迅速取得了顯著的商業成功。基於 C107 平台,「旗艦」級雙門跑車 SLC 500 應運而生,其生產歷程持續了近十年。SLC 500 配備了一台排量為 4973cc 的引擎,能輸出 237 匹馬力,成為 1970 年代「高級市場」的基準車型。
在那個時代,梅賽德斯 SLC 500 與一些具有代表性的經典車型共同出現,這些車型至今仍深受收藏家和經典車迷的喜愛與追捧,並成為他們想像與夢想的象徵。
During the 1960s Mercedes-Benz began development of a line of sports cars which were characterized by high performance and also great attention to aspects of motoring that would meet the requirements of the expanding "luxury" car market sector. The acronym SL (Sport and Leicht), identifies the various models that over the years have evolved and been presented to the market. In the 1970s, the German automotive group launched the R107 and C107 series in the Roadster and Coupé versions, which went on to quickly achieve notable commercial success. Arising from the C107, the "top of the range" coupé SLC 500 evolved, the production of which, lasted for almost a decade. With a 4973cc engine capable of delivering 237 HP the Mercedes SLC 500 became a benchmark for the "premium" market, which in the 1970s, also saw the origin of some iconic models, which even now, capture the imagination and dreams of many collector and classic car enthusiasts.
