Imininingwane yokuqala mayelana neMercedes SL yesikhathi esizayo iqala ukuvela.
Ngesethulo esihlelelwe iNorth American Internation Motor Show, edolobheni lase-Los Angeles, imininingwane ye-roadster entsha yohlobo lwaseJalimane iqala ukuvela. Njengento entsha eyinhloko yemodeli entsha, ikhambi lokunciphisa umzimba okwatholwa kulo imodeli liyagqanyiswa. Uma iqhathaniswa neyandulelayo, iSL entsha - ezomakethwa ngonyaka ozayo - yehle ngo-140kg, ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kakhulu kwezinto ezikhanyayo njenge-aluminium.
Naphezu kwalokhu kuncipha kwesisindo esikhulu, abakwaMercedes basakwazi ukukhulisa amandla e-chassis entsha ngo-20%, ngenxa yokwethulwa kwamasu amasha okubumba kanye nokuqiniswa kwe-longitudinal ku-chassis. Lokhu kwanda, okungezwe ekwehleni kwesisindo semoto sisonke, kuzophumela ekuziphatheni okuguquguqukayo okusebenzayo nakakhulu nokunethezeka kokugingqika okuphakeme.
Ngaphezu kokuqanjwa kabusha kwe-chassis, kukhona enye into entsha, njengoba kuwuphawu lweMercedes noma nini lapho yethula imodeli entsha. Le nto entsha yaziwa ngeMagic Vision Control. Futhi akuyona into engaphezu kwesistimu yokuhlanza iwindi ehlanganisa "ama-squirts" (owaziwa nangokuthi i-mija-mija) esiqeshini esisodwa ukuze ugweme isifutho esivela ku-cabin esibangelwa izinhlelo ezivamile (isithombe esiseceleni).
Nasemkhakheni wokunethezeka, iMercedes ikhipha i-sound system entsha, esebenzisa izipikha ezisezinyaweni zabagibeli, ihlose ukugwema ukuhlanekezela komsindo okubangelwa ukuhamba komoya endaweni yabagibeli uma uginqika ngaphandle kwe-hood.
Ngokuqondene nenjini, akukho okucacisiwe okwamanje. Kodwa uma kucatshangelwa ukulahlekelwa kwesisindo se-SL entsha, kulindelekile ukuthi emkhakheni wokusetshenziswa kuzoba nokuncipha kokuhleleka kwe-25% uma kuqhathaniswa nemodeli yamanje.
