Mercedes-Benz 560 SL Parts and Accessories Store

The Mercedes-Benz 560 SL was introduced in 1986 as the final and most powerful chapter of the R107 roadster lineup, which had already captivated drivers since the early 1970s. This V8-powered convertible was built during a golden era of over-engineered Mercedes vehicles, pairing timeless design with durable mechanicals. As luxury coupes and roadsters surged in popularity, the 560 SL stood out with a smooth ride, secure handling, and unmatched craftsmanship that has since made it a true collector’s classic.

At its heart was a 5.6-liter V8 producing 227 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. With a 0–60 time of around 7.5 seconds, it delivered stately performance in a package that exuded elegance. Leather seats, automatic climate control, and cruise control came standard, while its dual-top setup offered both a removable hardtop and soft convertible roof. Today, the 560 SL remains desirable for several reasons:

• Robust M117 engine with cast-iron durability and smooth power delivery.
• Classic long-hood roadster proportions with chrome accents and bundt-style wheels.
• Hydraulic valve compensators and timing chain setup for long service intervals.
• Iconic Becker Grand Prix stereo system and wood-trimmed center console.
• Thick body panels and overbuilt suspension components ideal for restoration.
• Optional rear seats and power antenna system unique to later R107 models.
• Excellent parts availability and a strong enthusiast community worldwide.
