That’s why Mercedes has overhauled it and come out with a new model. The SL 500's V8 engine, with a capacity of 4663 cubic centimeters, powers up to a solid 320 kW. That's a 12 percent increase over its predecessor, even though its capacity has fallen by nearly a liter. At the same time, though, its torque has risen from 530 Newton meters to 700. The base model SL 500 sells for around 117,000 euros in Germany.
