The only 4-cylinder SL built (modern SLK's excluded), this was a much simpler (and far less expensive) alternative to the 300SL. The company's promotional literature used at the New York Motor Show best describes the vehicle... "The stunning new Mercedes Benz l90SL sports car offers three hits - Racing Performance, Luxurious Comfort and Operational Robustness - and no errors, meaning, no sacrifice of safety." Designed and built for long-distance driving as well as for short daily rides, this ultra-smart roadster offers sporty character, unusually high riding comfort, dependability, economy - and it comes with a sleek looking hardtop.
