In 1971, R107 was introduced with a new design language and safety
features that spread to the subsequent Mercedes-Benz models. For
the first time, the V8 engines were fitted to the SL-Class.
Production from 1971 to 1989, R107 was one of the few
longest-produced vehicles from Mercedes-Benz. R107 received a very
minor update in 1972 with new rubber-edged wing mirrors from W116
and a major update in 1985 for the 1986 model year. The engine
options were updated in 1980 for the 1981 model year with new
aluminum V8 engines from W126 S-Class introduced in 1979 while the
2.8-liter six-cylinder inline engine carried over. It was updated
again in 1985 for the 1986 model year with the new 3.0-liter
six-cylinder inline engine from W124 and enlarged 4.2- and
5.5-liter V8 engines while the 5.0-liter V8 engine was carried
over. The SLC Coupe is much rarer, produced from 1971 - 1981, like
280, 350, 380, and 450 SLC, and is expected to be worth
considerably more soon and should be more collectible than the SL
in the future due to its low production numbers. With the 450 SLC,
450 SLC 5.0, and 500 SLC models, Daimler-Benz took part in major
rallies at the end of the 1970s such as the 30,000 km long Vuelta �
la America del Sud (1977), the Safari Rally (1979), and the Bandama
Rally. The R107 received its first update in 1985 with a deeper
front air dam, a revised brake system with larger disc and
four-caliber brakes, a driver's side airbag (standard for the US
market and an extra-cost option for the European market), and, for
the European market, catalysator option. The 5-mph bumpers and four
round sealed-beam headlamps fitted to the US models remained
unchanged despite the revised US FMVSS regulations that allowed the
2.5-mph bumpers and form-fitting headlamps, starting with the 1982
and 1983 model years respectively. The US model received the third
brake lamp mounted on the trunk in 1986.
