No, not the new SL, but the glorious original that joined Dr. Zetsche on stage to announce its sixth-generation relative. Mercedes talks about simplicity and sensuality in reference with the new car but seeing it next to the original in all its organic glory, intersected by delicate and subtle detailing, perhaps wasn’t the best way to express this. The smell of unburnt hydrocarbons as it purred onto the stage was an added bonus.
