Mercedes-Benz M-SL 500

The Mercedes-Benz M-SL 500

For us, modern automotive technology implanted in Mercedes-Benz classics that are still true to the original means using a great deal of creativity to ensure that the synthesis of old and modern technology provides our customers with lasting driving pleasure. Our high quality standards, both in the development work and in its implementation, are the basis for our work, which is characterised by preserving the vehicles' special charm as well as their unique form through their conversion. A maxim demanded by the respect we feel for the classic cars with the star. Our aim is to ensure a combination of visual originality and technical performance, as well as suitability for everyday use. The heart of the M-SL is of course the engine. In this case the Mercedes M113 eight-cylinder with 5.0 litre capacity and 320 hp/235 kW. The decisive factors for the use of this power unit were its well-known high reliability and impressive power delivery. Because of these characteristics, the engine is also the first choice for our conversions. In addition, it is 30 kilograms lighter than the original engine and ensures optimum weight distribution in the M-SL, which in turn has a positive effect on the driving dynamics. All engines that find their way into a New-Tech conversion must meet strict quality criteria before they are approved for general overhaul in our in-house engine construction department. Low mileage and the successful completion of an extensive inspection procedure by our engine experts are basic requirements. Subsequently, all engines are completely overhauled in meticulous manual work. Before the units are installed, a final test is carried out on the engine test bench, during which all functional values are checked again. The drive unit is supplemented by a 5-speed automatic transmission from Mercedes-Benz, which must meet comparable quality requirements before installation. The optimal coordination between engine and transmission ensures superior driving comfort on the one hand and sporty and dynamic handling on the other. Another important aspect of this drive package is evident in terms of workshop service. As a matter of principle, every Mechatronik vehicle can be checked by any Mercedes-Benz service partner worldwide via engine diagnostics, thus eliminating the need for a time-consuming search for a classic specialist. It is this unrestricted suitability for everyday use that makes a Mechatronik conversion what it is - a modern classic. The high demands we place on the drive system of the M-SL are also reflected in the chassis. Excellent traction and high agility with precise turn-in and balanced load change behaviour are guaranteed thanks to the completely retuned chassis. The suspension we have developed uses performance springs and shock absorbers developed by KW Automotive. Our mechatronic sports suspension also enables a setup that is precisely tailored to your expectations and driving style, which can additionally be individually adapted to your wishes and requirements. The lowest possible body movements and thus more comfort, even with dynamic driving, were one of the top development goals of our suspension specialists. In combination with the 5.0-litre engine, the mechatronic limited slip differential fitted to the rear axle ensures even better power distribution between the drive wheels. The Mechatronik high-performance braking system ensures that the M-SL can be controlled reliably and safely at all times, even when braking, thanks to the use of high-quality components and the installation of the anti-lock braking system as standard. The brakes are precisely matched to the engine power and chassis, ensuring uncompromising safety and optimum braking performance. Each individual part is specially tested to meet the high demands. The larger two-piston brake system with perforated and internally ventilated brake discs is used on the front axle. The discs are optimally cooled and also impress with their good response in wet conditions. At the rear axle, we rely on the revised standard brake system of the W111. Every M-SL converted by us naturally offers far higher safety standards than was the case when it was originally launched in the 1960s. Nowadays, safety and assistance systems have a much higher priority, which of course also receives the best possible attention in our conversions. In view of the significantly higher engine and driving performance, we therefore equip our vehicles with modern safety systems such as ABS and ASR as standard. This ensures that when you step on the accelerator, the power arrives on the road and the vehicle remains constantly controllable and steerable even when braking.

The vehicle offered here is one of only 5 M-SLs built annually from the production year 2022. The car was fully restored by Mechatronik and assigned to New-Tech production in the course of this. All work is extensively documented. In addition, the car is accompanied by a current value appraisal. Our sales staff will be happy to answer any detailed questions you may have.
