Mercedes-Benz has released the official first images of the new generation Mercedes-Benz SL.

Looking noticeably more angular than its sleek and slick predecessor, the standard-setting hardtop convertible is now available in a new entry level model in Europe, the SL 280. The SL 350 now sports greater power and fuel economy while the much loved SL 500 and 600 will retain their same gargantuan engines. 

The new Direct Steer System, last announced in the new CLC will also be in the SL to guarantee responsive driving.

The SL is known not only for sporting performance, but for top of the line Mercedes build quality and luxury. Buyers can expect the AIRSCARF neck-level heating to increase comfort when driving top down in winter, while the COMAND multimedia system has been enhanced with additional functions 

The Mercedes-Benz SL will be available in the flesh at the Geneva International Motor Show in March, and should hit European dealers in early April this year.
