HISTORY: “Pagoda SL”, types 230 SL – 280 SL (W 113), 1963 – 1971
The Geneva Motor Show in March 1963 was the scene of an extraordinary debut that received wide media coverage: Daimler-Benz presented a new sports car, which was to replace two models from the previous sales program at the same time. The new model faced a serious challenge - not least because its two predecessors, the 190 SL and 300 SL, were extremely popular from the beginning, and the 300 SL even became a legend during its lifetime. The real challenge was the fact that despite many similarities within the model family, the two models represented two radically different design concepts and it was quite difficult to distinguish the common denominator.
Apart from the wheelbase - the magic dimension of 2,400 mm was retained unchanged - the new SL had almost nothing in common with its two predecessors. However, the W 113 was not simply a new design, as its technical concept was mainly based on that of the 220 SE. For example, the new model took over its shortened and reinforced frame from the tailgate sedan, including the front and rear axle suspension. the engine was also developed from the 2.2-liter 220 SE unit. By drilling the engine to 2.3 liters, increasing compression and using a six-piston injection pump, the power was increased to 150 HP.
In addition to the standard 4-speed transmission, for the first time the SL model was available with an optional 4-speed automatic transmission. The third version appeared in May 1966 with a 5-speed gearbox, manufactured by Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen (ZF).
Like its predecessor, the 230 SL was available in three versions: as a roadster with a foldable hood, as a coupé with a removable hood, and as a coupé with a removable hood and a roadster. All three versions could optionally be equipped with a transverse rear seat.
On February 27, 1967, the 250 SL was presented to the public, replacing the 230 SL after four years of production. The novelty, which was mass-produced already in December 1966, had the same external appearance as its predecessor. Basic changes to the engine and brakes, which were derived in a slightly modified form from the 250 SE model. The engine, whose displacement was increased by 200 cc by extending the piston stroke, achieved the same. performance with 10% more torque, and was also equipped with seven camshaft bearings and an oil cooler. Braking changes included disc brakes on the rear wheels, larger brake shoes at the front, and the addition of a brake force adjuster. The inclusion of a larger 82-litre fuel tank instead of the 65-litre one increased the car's range. In addition to the three versions of the 230 SL, there was an optional fourth version of the 250 SL - a rear-seat coupé that was first presented in March 1967 at the Geneva Motor Show. The additional space that became necessary for the installation of rear seats became available by removing the hood and bonnet compartment of the roadster. Due to the inability to reattach the hood, this version was only intended to be recommended in areas with little rainfall or with the coupé's hood closed.
In March 1971, production of the 280 SL ended. The successor was the 350 SL, an entirely new design, production of which began in April 1971. Over the course of eight years, 48,912 cars of the three 113 SL series models were built. Due to their distinctive roof shape, the 230 SL, 250 SL and 280 SL sports car models are now commonly known as the "SL Pagoda".
