About Mercedes-Benz SL600
The R129 debuted in 1989 as a two-passenger convertible with a detachable hardtop. The R129 was the first Mercedes to include a fully automatic, hydraulically operated fabric convertible top, V8 and (later) V12 engines with four valves per cylinder, projector lens HID headlamps (introduced in 1995), and an automatic rollbar that self-deployed in the event of a rollover. The retractable rollbar could also be raised and lowered manually via a switch on the console, improving occupant safety without sacrificing aesthetics. R129 was the first SL-Class to offer an optional V12 engine (600 SL/SL 600) and official AMG variants (500 SL 6.0 AMG, SL 60 AMG (V8), SL 70 AMG (V12), SL 73 AMG (V12), and then SL 55 AMG (V8) in 1992.
