A refined performance

Smoother, faster, more efficient
Direct steer
All SL-Class models feature speed-sensitive power steering as standard. So you enjoy greater power assistance when manoeuvring at lower speeds, and less assistance when cruising on the open road.

But from July 2008 you’ll also be able to choose Direct Steer as an option. Developed specifically for Mercedes-Benz roadsters, this is speed-sensitive power steering with a difference.

Featuring an innovative new spur rack, the system blends incredible driver comfort with a sporty edge. On winding country roads you enjoy superb touch and response. At higher speeds, straight-line stability is outstanding. And at low speeds – when parking, for example - you’ll be amazed how little steering effort is required.
