1987 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL R107 with V8 M117 engine

At the Geneva Motor Show in March 1980, Mercedes-Benz presented the SL and SLC in an updated form. Their interior appointments, including the steering wheel, were harmonized with those of the 126-series S-Class, and the engineering was brought up to the same level. The previous three-speed automatic transmission with torque converter was replaced with a four-speed variant. Models 280 SL and 280 SLC were given a five-speed manual transmission as basic equipment. In addition, the hardtop was now included in the standard specifications of the open-top variant. The new 500 SL, equipped with the 5.0-liter V8 (M 117) familiar from the 450 SLC 5.0, replaced the 450 SL and delivered an output of 177 kW (241 bhp) at 5000 rpm, to give the new top-of-the-range model a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration of 7.8 seconds and a top speed of 225 km/h.
