    The new 350 SL sports car model (107 series) is presented to the international press in Hockenheim. It is the first SL model equipped with an eight-cylinder engine. With its horizontally arranged headlamps, large direction indicators and large ribbed tail lights, it shapes the style of future Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. The integral safety concept with numerous innovative details, including optionally available three-point inertia reel seat belts attached directly to the seat for the first time, sets new standards in vehicle safety.
