In 1994 I used to work in a mansion doing cleaning and other maintenance stuff making $7 per hr. The couple that lived there had two 600 SL's one silver the other red. One day, the woman had a DUI arrest, and got her DL suspended, the husband changed my cleaning duties to become her personal driver. Me a 24 year old guy from driving a beat up 85 Honda CRX to a 120K red Mercedes every day, even they allowed me to take the car to my apartment at night and weekends for the next 2 years and still making 7 bucks per hour LOL.
Personally, I think Mercedes peaked in 2018. AMG cars are hitting peak power whilst sounding amazing! Exhausts are over the top loud, popping and cracking on up/downshifts. The are fast, loud and clinically obnoxious in a way that makes muscle car owners green with envy. From here, we will be going to hybrid vehicles, small-displacement engines boosted by electric motors. The next step is an all-electric lineup.
Matthew Jacobs Performance Japanese cars are great becaus theyre mostly made in Japan! But in the 90s both types of cars were actually reliable with limited amount of computer interference!
@Ike N : thís car was developed ánd engineerd in the 1980's when the Mercedes-Benz Engineers still ruled the roost ánd before the horrendous fiasco of a "marriage" between Daimler - Benz AG and Chrysler took place which, in the 90's, led to the worst decline in quality, engineering and reliability EVER for Mercedes-Benz cars. I know thís, because I've owned three E-class cars so far : two of them from the 80's and one from the 90's : my 1997 E230 auto never stopped breaking down. The W124 even fared better than the W210 in crash testing whilst the first C-class (early 90's) only got two stars in Euro NCAP while its forebear, the 190E was as safe as the W124. So yes - most of its sales took place in the 90's, but its development was done before the cost cutting bean counters of Daimler Chrysler started to do their "magic" The 80's was the last decade in which the Engineers and not the accountants, had the final say. Just look at how many W123 & W124 cars are still around compared to the W210. So no, the 90's was by far not the best decade for the 3 pointed Star in terms of design, engineering, reliability and timeless beauty (eg. W126) like the 80's was.
@Ike N : I do not agree with you one bit - the huge slide came as a consequence of the fiasco of a marriage between German Royalty and an average American manufacturer - how can a top quality manufacturer join forces with a middling American - that is preposterous! If at least they joined forces with Cadillac I could still see the merit & logic behind it. The only party which benefited was Chrysler : the Cross Fire was a Benz except for the body design and the badges. Ánd you cannot for one second argue that the 80's wasn't the golden decade for Mercedes-Benz : before the bean counters started to dictate the process of developing a new car. My W123's and W124 had no problems whatsoever, whilst my W210 NEVER stopped giving me problems : FYI - the engine was the ONLY thing that never had any issues. The rest of the car never STOPPED having issues. Everyone calls the W123 the Million Mile Mercedes as testiment to their reliability and longevity as Taxi's all over the Globe. So don't you be so presumptuous as to tell me, who grew up with these cars in the 70's and 80's drove & owned them myself through the 90's and 2000's, what a huge disappointment they were after thát horrific marriage between Daimler Benz AG and the Chrysler Corporation! At least the last 10 years has been a gargantuan improvement in all respects and aspects of their range.
@@wernerbloemwagen6878 My 87 300E was horrendously unreliable. A laundry list of electrical failures. The transmission lasted only 100k miles. Engine and transmission mount failures. Just a poorly engineered car at its core. I've owned many vehicles from many manufacturers and my 300E was one of the most problematic by far. Not a unique experience either after doing research on the model. I swore off Mercedes after that. Such a money pit. My neighbor's 94 600 SL needed the transmission rebuilt at only 50k miles. Beautiful, but atrociously unreliable cars.
This was one of my childhood dream cars. Timelessly beautiful, sophisticated, and dripping with class. I would love to drive one someday, even if only the V6. I just want to experience being behind the wheel of this car while I'm still young enough to enjoy it.
When l was a kid in the late 70’s and 80’s the 500-560SL R107 was the ultimate ride , all the rich and fabulous had them , and that car is absolutely legendary and gorgeous and then when you think Mercedes-Benz can’t top that one they came with those in the late 80’s and 90’s man Mercedes-Benz made some insanely impressive vehicles and also the SEC560 AMG I still seen them around here in Adelaide South Australia.
@@corionh4775 I believe you're right. They were close, with the Vette having a 1000+ pound weight advantage. But the refinement of this car was well worth the trade off...if it was within budget!
I was following a late 80's/early 90's 190E 2.6 today. Perfect paint. Rust free. Took me back to high school where I remember seeing them being driven all over. Still a great looking car to this day.
I guess they didn't realize the reason the dash was black was to absorb light. If it were color matched cream, the reflection of sunlight in your eyes would be blinding with the top down. It's basic knowledge in car engineering. That's also why sports players like baseball and football players put black stripes on their cheeks to reduce brightness reflection into their eyes as they play.
They HAD to say something negative about the car... lol you know, as the counterpoint to the positives. That was really all the could come up with apparently.
They were complaining about the appearance of the vinyl in comparison to the rest of the interior. Vinyl looks inexpensive compared to leather and wood being in the same space, so it would be much better for the dashboard to be covered in leather than vinyl.
I never knew that fact. Thank you for sharing. I always thought the black looked terrible too as stated in the video but i never realized there was an engineering concept in it.
My Dad bought two of these cars in 93...a black one and red one. He ended up keeping the red one and drove to every 48 States one Summer. He was a kid who loved to drive in style.
My friend had a hit record in 1993 and the dealership dropped him off back at our studio while they washed his newly purchased r129. When they brought it to him I saw them demonstrating the mechanical roof. Wild. I didn’t even go over there.
My God...when Mercedes was MERCEDES. These things were built to an impeccable standard. It was the car that commanded attentiom everywhere it went. The car you purchased when you "made it". Just behold the car even today, the shape and styling being remarkably timeless. Unfortunately, MB simply lost its way and allowed the SL to languish to its current afterthought form. While the 2003 SL500 may have started the MB trend of hyper-technology in the modern era, none of their cars touch this in terms of sheer timeless luxury.
first sl600 i saw was at church for a wedding. in france it was rare like snow in Dubai. it was some so exceptionnal. i loved this car som much back then. i remember an article about it. i love it so much. the car looked so good on each pictures. i wish i can own one soon.
The 600SL's are the hardest cars to get those replacement harnesses for since they made so few of them. Some were replaced under warranty since they were such expensive cars too.
I absolutely love the SL500 from that generation. I would choose that one over this but you have to give it to MB for sticking a V12 in the damn thing.
Federal impact regulations required a minimum distance between the front of the bumper and the front of the engine so US market 600SLs got larger bumpers.
I have a 2001 SL600. Its not the fastest car, but its so smooth that when I first got it, I thought it had died when I was at a stoplight. I straight piped it and it sounds great now, but still kind of quiet and practically silent at idle. I think the 5 speed these got later on in production after 1996 improved performance a bit.
Had a 91 500SL in triple black colors a few years back, awesome to drive mounted with H&R lowering springs/Bilstein shocks and 18" wheels made all the difference in better handling for a 4200 lb car
Personally my 2nd favorite SL, especially in a bold single tone color like the red test car(the late 60's "Pagoda" is my fave). They kind of lost the plot with the next gen 2000's SL, styling was a breath of fresh air at the time but the built like a tank quality feel was gone IMO, it just didn't have that special old school Benz feel to it anymore.
To me this and W140 with V12 engines are the peak Mercedes. Sure I appreciate the earlier models W123, W124 and 126 but these two were the last ones that were produced without cheapening out. Mercedes just wanted to make the best cars in the world and then came the rounded headlights era which wasn't so nice.
I agree with your entire statement. The later cars with the rounded headlights look awful. These were the last of the true Mercedes Benz when the engineers ran the company not the accountants.
A V12 revs slower and its heavier. Also S63 AMG is faster than S65 AMG too, its the same logic. We love V12s, everyone do. But its not really the sportiest engine. Its much like a cruise engine and fast from roll not standstill. I didnt count Lamborghini and Ferrari V12s.
Hard to believe a 4-cylinder Honda Accord 2.0T will outrun a V12 supercar from just 25 years ago. This generation of Mercedes products was my least favorite stylistically.

@@KartKing4ever Did hilarity ensue?
12 cylinders with a 4 speed. Now we have 4 cylinders with 10 speed transmissions. How times have changed.
And and all those gears sucks
And that 4 speed was introduced in 1979!
At 6 sec .
Yeah and those 1.5t 4 popper could probably give that V12 a run for its money (if not crush it). And lets not even compare electric vs this.
Many gears or a CVT
The golden age of both German, and Japanese automobiles. A glorious time.

There were some cool domestic offerings
That body style is timeless.
It still is a gorgeous looking car and I noticed that the values of the R129 600 SL and SL 600 are actually rising.
@@CynicalBastard511 timeless styling
That body style looked dated by the late 90s lol. And that’s okay. I’m a big fan of the 80s and early 90s styling.
so true....after '93 the design lost its way
Facts
My dream car when I was 6 years old. I'm 33 now and I now own this beast :)
Post videos of it!
I miss the boxy square German body styling of that time.
Hell yeah
Not the current droopy mess Mercedes calls cars.
I never liked the Wide bodies of the W140 Chassis. Except for the SLs.
The car of choice in 1993 for discerning CEOs and gangsta rappers.
It still looks great today.
And celebrities. These SL's were in half the movies that came out all through the 90's.
Since when have rappers favored two-seaters? How you gonna fit a posse in there?
The fact that this design lasted until 2001 is a testament to how beautiful the design is with a presence unmatched by today’s roadsters.
And I'd STILL buy one. They're actually accruing in value, no surprise.
What’s sad is there aren’t many roadsters left today
Next gen of SL after this one is gorgeus too and didnt age. Its after 2001-2011 SL that they ruined the design.
Thus was time when Benz quality was sooo good they ran long cycles on their higher end offerings
And it being created in 1984 is the bigger shock.
looks better everyday, aging gracefully.
I was going to say the same. I'm not a huge fan of convertibles, but this car with the hard top is gorgeous.
edmaluf absolutely!!!
Museum worthy body design
Back when a Benz was engineered to last and built like a tank!
Not the ABC suspension though
Not the V12 lmao
Not the transmission.
@@johndriscoll213 the v12 is a great engine
@@jaxandmore440 the 5 speed auto is good however not the manual

This generation of SL still always makes me turn my head whenever I see it in public. It’s just such an elegant and timeless design.
Best generation of SL, 1980s and 1990s
Absolutely love these retro road tests. The latest news and road tests of today's machines are also enjoyed. Keep it up guys, this Aussie is hooked! 👍
been a staple here in America for over 30 years
$119k.... In 1993😱
That's like $212k in 2020!

This body style has aged gracefully and the sound of that V12 is amazing! The Zonda hints in the driving shots are irresistible!
This car looks so good in that color.
Signal red was one of the most popular colors for the R129 roadsters in all trim levels. The interior color of palameno gave great contrast too.
4:45 John: BUT THE MULTITUDE OF CONTROLS (on the Becker cassette stereo) ARE CONFUSING! LOL
That's all they could come up with to complain about!
The 600SL, the ultimate top of the range from MB at the time. You were someone and one of the fortunate few if you owed a 600SL!
Agreed. Only like 2% of all SL buyers could afford the 600SL. They were extremely exclusive back then let alone today.

Great car and a great review - thanks for posting MW.
I just watched the 1990 500sl and it had almost the exact same performance specs... the 0-60 was actually .1 to 60 faster
Best looking SL IMO
GORGEOUS CAR! Modern tech is amazing though I must say, a V12 in 6 seconds 0-60 and my 4 cylinder volvo jumps 0-60 in 6.5 seconds.
The V12 is a smoother operating engine than a V8 or 4 cylinder. It's a posh sporty car though
So many great cars in the 90's.

I agree with your entire statement. The later cars with the rounded headlights look awful. These were the last of the true Mercedes Benz when the engineers ran the company not the accountants.
And ran the same time as the 500SL... Kinda surprised by that.
That V-12 added a good amount of weight. Kinda offsets the power advantage
Pretty sure Master P had one of these. Whole interior looks just like a contemporary 300E.
I have always been jealous of that guys hair...
It’s crazy that a new V6 Toyota Camry beats this car in the 0-60 race
Most modern cars will at least match it, a Chevy Malibu turbo would even get within a couple tenths now lol.
That thing is 😍 😍 😍
Wait a second, when Motorweek tested the 500SL, didn't it go from 60 in 5.9 seconds? 6.0 in the V12... oh.

Hard to believe a 4-cylinder Honda Accord 2.0T will outrun a V12 supercar from just 25 years ago. This generation of Mercedes products was my least favorite stylistically.
Not at top speed tho
It will never
I miss the 90's :(
Car off choice for hip hop and r&b from the mid to late 90s
👍👍👍👍🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏
Ever heard one of these V-12’s straight piped?
I have one and its straight piped, its quieter than youd think
Looks better than the new Lexus Doug de Muro reviewed today.
