Though falling far short of a complete redesign, the Mercedes Benz SL-Class will get a few upgrades this year not the least of which is a new engine lineup. The SL’s trio of powerplants will include a new 272-hp V6 for the SL350, the company’s new 5.5L V8 making 388 hp for the SL500, and finally a reworked biturbo V12 in the SL600 that offers its opulent owner 517 hp.

Other improvements include a new exhaust system for each engine, new steering set up, a revised Active Body Control System and new 7G-TRONIC sport shifter that changes cogs 30% faster thanks to shift paddles on the steering wheel.

The sheetmetal that wraps this expensive gift has also been reworked at both the front and rear ends, although only the most discriminating connoisseur could tell. Inside the cabin Mercedes has only tweaked a few color choices and splashed some chrome and aluminum trim about.
