Inspect your cockpit carefully before you start off. You’ll rarely see the newly designed instrument cluster in this position. Its needles are as dynamic as your drive – they deflect as soon as you start the ignition. Lay your hands on the new 3-spoke sports steering wheel, and feel how confidently you can drive around even narrow curves with the new direct steering. It is available as an optional extra and, in addition to the standard speed-sensitive steering, offers an even more direct ratio in city traffic and while negotiating curves. But these aren’t the only special features in the new SL. New upholstery and trim parts give the interior the finishing touch. And you get the proper ambience to enjoy the ride.
