Mercedes-Benz SL 320 https://autosl.de/vehicle/mercedes-be...

In April 1998 at the Turin Motor Show, an updated SL range was presented featuring newly developed engines and a subtly revised design. The most significant refinements included the introduction of a new generation of V-type engines with six and eight cylinders to replace the six-cylinder in-line engine featured in the M 104 series and the M 119 series V8 unit. Thanks to the advent of 3-valve technology and dual ignition, the new engines consume up to ten percent less fuel than their predecessor models and are particularly remarkable for their very low exhaust emissions. Output levels range from 150 kW (204 hp) in the SL 280 and165 kW (224 hp) in the SL 320 to 225 kW (306 hp) in the SL 500. The top-of-the-range SL 600 continues to be powered by the M 120 twelve-cylinder engine producing 290 kW (394 hp). The SL 60 AMG was discontinued as part of the model improvement program and has not been available since June 1998.
