In the Spring of 1963, Mercedes-Benz debuted an all-new roadster to
replace the 190SL and 300SL- The 230SL. Internally designated W113,
the 230SL 'Pagoda' was a stunning Paul Bracq designed two-seat
Cabriolet that followed Mercedes' new design language, featuring
crisp lines and upright headlights. The 230SL was fitted with a
prominent three-pointed star in its grill as a reference to the
already iconic 300SL. To save on weight, the hood, door skins,
trunk lid, and tonneau cover are all composed of aluminum, affixed
to a rigid steel monocoque. The car's distinctive concave-shaped
removable hard top quickly earned it the nickname 'Pagoda.'
Although controversial at its introduction, these SLs are now
considered a masterpiece of design.
