What kind of engine does a Mercedes SL550 have?
It, as most Mercedes engines these past decades, is made of aluminum. First seen in the 2007 S-Class sedan, the new 5.5-liter engine has 382 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 391 ft-lbs. of torque, a huge increase from the old three valve V-8 engines.
What is the radome on a Mercedes SL550?
The radome (antenna) is the circular front badge, which is made of solid, clear black plastic. The SL500 shown doesn’t happen to have that option, so it has the usual ventilated grille star. This SL550 just happens to have parktronic, which are the four sonar transducers seen as 1/2″ circles on the front bumper.
What happens if you run down the battery on a Mercedes SL550?
If you run down the battery, you only ran down the battery in the trunk. You can still start with the small battery, and once started, the SL550 charges the other battery. Since Mercedes includes free lifetime roadside assistance, this saves all of us the hassle of dead batteries.
What are the circles on the Mercedes SL550 bumper?
The 1/2″ circles on the SL550 bumper are the optional parktronic parking sensors, available on either car. Mercedes did the same thing, but more obviously, with the 1990 – 2002 SL500 (R129) by changing the tail light design in 1999 – 2002.
