Mercedes-Benz SL 1954–1989

Mercedes-Benz has been producing the SL-Class, a luxury grand touring sports car, since 1954. The name SL is derived from the German words "Sport Leicht" or "Super Leicht," which translate to Sport Light or Super Light in English.

Initially, Mercedes-Benz used both Sport Leicht and Super Leicht interchangeably for the SL-Class. However, in 2017, a discovery in its corporate archives revealed that the official meaning of the acronym is "Super Leicht."
