Later Mercedes Sports Cars at the Cincinnati Concours

 

Mercedes Benz has been making sports cars since the mid-1950s. Seeing that Mercedes was the featured marque at this year's Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance, the event decided to set up three sports car classes with the one posted here running from 1972 through 2005. This class included a 1987 560 SL. This car has a 5.5-liter V 8 engine that puts out 227 horsepower. This model was the last of the R107 line.

About 100,000 of the SL 500 models were manufactured between 2001 and 2012. This is an early 2002 model. This car has a five-liter V 8 engine that puts out 302 horsepower. It has a removable hard top and a hydraulic soft top along with an automatic pop-up roll bar. 

This 1993 600 SL is one of the most expensive and powerful of its era. Originally costing $122,900, it sports a six-liter V 12 engine that generates 389 horsepower.
