The Mercedes-Benz W113 roadsters. designed by Paul Bracq. were
produced from 1963 through to 1971 with their distinctive 'pagoda'
hardtop roof giving them their contemporary nick-name. All models
feature an inline six-cylinder engine with multi-port fuel
injection using a mechanical pump system adapted from the diesel
engine. All are rear-wheel drive and are equipped with independent
rear suspension. a feature that greatly improved road handling. It
made its debut at the prestigious Geneva Motor Show in March 1963
where Technical Director Fritz Nallinger introduced it as follows. br/>"It was our aim to create a very safe and fast sports car with high
performance which. despite its sports characteristics. provides a
high degree of travelling comfort. " Mercedes-Benz Chief Engineer
Rudolf Uhlenhaut. who was as competent behind the wheel as most
racing drivers. demonstrated the capabilities of the 230SL on a
tight short race track near Montreux in 1963 where he put up a best
lap time of 47. 5 seconds and. incidentally. out-performed Mike
Parkes in his Ferrari 250GT.
