Which is the best Mercedes R107 to buy used?
Given the long life of the R107 SL and the variety of engines Mercedes fitted over the years, there should be an SL to suit almost everyone. Six-cylinder cars are cheaper to buy and run than the bigger capacity V8 models, but don’t rule out a 350 or 380 as they deliver much the same fuel economy as a 280 or 300SL. The 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is a high- performance grand tourer, a joint effort between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive. It is powered by a front-mid-mounted, hand-built 5. V8 engine developed by AMG, producing 617 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque.
