1971-1976 350SLC coupe — note longer wheelbase and rear pillar with louvres
Volume production of the first R107 car, he 350 SL, tarted in April 1971 alongside the last of the W113 cars; the 350 SLC followed in October. Sales in North America began in 1972, nd cars wore the name 350 SL, ut had a larger 4.5L V8 (and were renamed 450 SL for model year 1973); the bigV8became available on other markets with the official introduction of the 450 SL/SLC on non-North American markets in March 1973.UScars sold from 1972 through 1975 used the Bosch D Jetronic fuel injection system, n early electronic engine management system. From July 1974 both SL and SLC could also be ordered with a fuel-injected 2.8Lstraight-6as 280 SL and SLC. US models sold from 1976 through 1979 used the Bosch K Jetronic system, n entirely mechanical fuel injection system. All US models used the 4.5 liter engine, nd were called 450 SL/SLC. In September 1977 the 450 SLC 5.0 joined the line. This was a special version of the big coupé, eaturing a new all-aluminum five-liter V8, luminum alloy bonnet and boot-lid, nd a black rubber rear spoiler, long with a small front-lip spoiler. The 450SLC 5.0 was produced in order to homologate the SLC for the 1978 World Rally Championship.
Mercedes-Benz 560 SL (Japan)
Starting in 1980, S cars were equipped with lambda control, hich varied the air/fuel mixture based on feedback from an oxygen sensor. The 350, 50 and 450 SLC 5.0 models (like the 350 and 450 SL) were discontinued in 1980 with the introduction of the 380 and 500 SLC in March 1980. At the same time, he cars received a very mild makeover; the 3-speedautomaticwas replaced by a four-speed unit.
The C107 SLC has had a successful rally career
The 280, 80 and 500 SLC were discontinued in 1981 with the introduction of the W126 series 380 and 500 SEC coupes. A total of 62,888 SLCs had been manufactured over a ten-year period of which just 1,636 were the 450 SLC-5.0 and 1,133 were the 500 SLC. Both these models are sought by collectors today. With the exception of the SL65 AMG Black Series, he SLC remains the only fixed roof Mercedes-Benz coupe based on a roadster rather than a sedan. Following the discontinuation of the SLC in September 1981, he 107 series continued initially as the 280, 80 and 500 SL. At this time, heV8 engineswere re-tuned for greater efficiency, ost a few hp and consumed less fuel- this largely due to substantially higher (numerically lower) axle ratios that went from 3.27:1 to 2.47:1 for the 380 SL and from 2.72:1 to 2.27:1 for the 500 SL. From September 1985 the 280 SL was replaced by a new 300 SL, nd the 380 SL by a 420 SL; the 500 SL continued and a 560 SL was introduced for certain extra-European markets, ost notably the USA. Also in 1985, he Bosch KE Jetronic was fitted. The KE Jetronic system varied from the earlier, ll mechanical system by the introduction of a more modern engine management "computer", hich controlled idle speed, uel rate, nd air/fuel mixture. The final car of the 18 years running 107 series was a 500 SL painted Signal red, uilt on August 4, 989; it currently resides in the Mercedes-Benz museum inStuttgart, ermany.
