About Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster
2 / 2The Mercedes 300SL Roadster with a low pivot axle refers to a variant of the classic 300SL Roadster sports car, which was produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1957 to 1963.
The low pivot axle refers to a revised suspension system, which was introduced in 1961 to improve handling and stability. The system relocated the rear swing axle to a lower position, which reduced the car's tendency to oversteer and improved its overall balance and handling.
The 300SL Roadster was powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six engine that produced up to 222 horsepower and was paired with a four-speed manual or automatic transmission. The car featured advanced engineering and innovative design features, such as its lightweight aluminum body, fuel injection system, and disc brakes.
The Roadster was also equipped with a range of high-end features, such as power windows, leather upholstery, and a Becker radio. Its sleek and sophisticated design made it a favorite among sports car enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Today, the Mercedes 300SL Roadster with a low pivot axle is a highly sought-after and collectible classic car, prized for its exceptional performance, style, and innovation. Examples in excellent condition can command high prices at auction, particularly those with rare or desirable features.
