Mercedes-Benz 380 SL Buyer's Guide
Emily Chen here, and the R107 Mercedes SL is the car that most clearly explains what a grand touring roadster is supposed to be. Not a pure sports car — the 380 SL was never trying to compete with a Porsche for corner speed. Not a pure luxury car — the soft top is right there above your head. It's a machine engineered for covering long distances in complete comfort with a passenger who appreciates quality, and it executes that mission with a German thoroughness that was unmatched in 1980 and remains impressive today.
The 380 SL specifically was Mercedes's US-market answer to tightening emissions regulations. The 450 SL that it replaced used a 4.5-liter V8; the 380 SL's 3.8-liter unit was lighter, cleaner, and — in initial production — somewhat less satisfying. But the chassis, the interior, and the overall experience are the same R107 magic that made this generation the longest-running production SL in Mercedes history.
