The
Mercedes-Benz W113, produced between 1963 and 1971, is one of the most iconic roadsters in automotive history. It is universally known as "Pagoda" due to the slightly concave shape of its removable hardtop, designed to increase visibility and structural rigidity.
Versions and Engines
The W113 series was developed into three main models, all equipped with inline six-cylinder engines with Bosch mechanical fuel injection:

230 SL (1963–1967): The debut model with a 2.3-liter engine and 150 HP. It was the first SL to offer an optional automatic transmission.
250 SL (1966–1968): Produced for only one year, it is the rarest. While retaining 150 hp, it offered greater torque, a larger fuel tank, and standard rear disc brakes.
280 SL (1967–1971): The final and most powerful evolution, with a 2.8-liter engine and about 170 hp. It is the most sought-after version for its performance and Gran Turismo comfort.

Innovations and Design

Safety: It was the world's first sports car to implement the concept of the 'safety cell' with crumple zones, developed by Béla Barényi.
Style: The clean and elegant design is the work of Paul Bracq and Friedrich Geiger. The bodywork widely used aluminum (doors, hood, and trunk) to reduce weight.
Configurations: It was available as a pure roadster (with a fabric soft top), a coupe (hardtop only), or with both options.
