Mercedes starts out the teasing campaign for the new SL-Class by releasing a few details on some of its new features.
The new SL will be heading back to its roots by shedding a couple of stones off its weight. After all, SL stands for Sport and Light. Thanks to the extensive use of aluminum, and some new and extremely clever production methods Mercedes has come up with, the new SL will be some 140 kg lighter than the current gen.
Despite the weight reduction, it’ll be stiffer and will have more torsional rigidity, meaning there will be less flex in the chassis, so the handling will be better. The SL is actually on a sports car diet.
The lightness will also make the car more fuel efficient and helps with lowering its CO2 emission.
