From the archive: on this day in 1898
In 1898, France was at the forefront of the emerging world of motoring. The Automobile Club de France (ACF) had been established in 1895, and within just three years, the number of cars on French roads had reached around 2000. With this growing popularity, co-founder Jules de Dion believed it was time to showcase these vehicles to the public.
It is worth noting that de Dion himself had achieved significant feats in the world of automobiles prior to this exhibition. In 1894, he won the world’s first car race in a car made by his own company. He also played a role in founding L’Aéro-Club de France, set up a newspaper that created the Tour de France, and even served as a Member of Parliament. His name is still commonly associated with the term “axle.”
The chosen location for the exhibition was Le Jardin des Tuileries, a central spot in Paris between La Place de la Concorde and the Louvre. A temporary roof was constructed to cover the displays. To ensure that only serious exhibitors participated, cars had to be demonstrably driven beforehand.
The Exposition Internationale d’Automobiles drew a crowd of approximately 140,000 people. They had the opportunity to marvel at 232 car models from 77 different manufacturers.
According to our report at the time, the exhibition provided strong evidence of the viability of the automobile industry. The display of various vehicle propulsion systems showcased the significant advancements anticipated in the near future. We noted, “Among them, there were many ingenious and interesting devices that might be turned to excellent account, although some were of indifferent merit or utterly impracticable.”
One of the prominent exhibitors was De Dion-Bouton, which showcased its motorised tricycles and cars, alongside a remarkable 20-seat steam-powered omnibus capable of producing an impressive 50bhp.
Another notable presence was Panhard et Levassor, which displayed 12 vehicles of different types. Our report mentioned the beautifully finished carriage work and luxurious upholstery, surpassing the standards typically associated with horse-drawn vehicles.
Mercedes-AMG SL 55 Makes A Comeback In India
The iconic SL nameplate is back for some top-down motoring in style, that too in a performance-spec AMG avatar
The Mercedes-AMG SL 55 Roadster has been launched in India at a price of Rs 2.35 crore (ex-showroom, pan India). The SL nameplate was last available in India in 2012, and now the sixth-generation model is making a comeback. The company has also started taking orders for the two-door SL cabriolet in India after a gap of almost 11 years.
Mercedes’ Only Two-Door Cabriolet
The AMG SL 55 Roadster is only the second convertible from Affalterbach to be available in India, following the E-Class cabriolet. The latest SL 55 features smooth and curvaceous lines, in line with Mercedes’ current design language. It has a distinctive slatted AMG-exclusive grille with sharp LED taillights, giving it a focused and performance-oriented appearance.
The roadster is equipped with 21-inch AMG-spec alloy wheels and high-performance tires. It comes with a soft-top that can be electronically stored away in just 15 seconds at speeds of up to 60kmph. The front of the car has an elongated profile, while the rear is stubby, contributing to its aggressive look with sleek tail lamp design and quad exhausts.
A Luxurious Cabin
Similar to other Mercedes-AMG models, the SL 55 combines luxury with a sporty touch. It features a chunky three-spoke AMG steering wheel with heating function, sporty aluminum pedals, turbine-inspired AC vents, carbon fiber inserts on the center console, and optional Nappa leather seat upholstery. The SL sports a 2+2 seating configuration, which is typical of luxury sports coupes.
Packed with Features
The SL 55 Roadster is equipped with a range of features including a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display, powered front seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions, dual-zone climate control, and 64-color ambient lighting. The centerpiece is a portrait-styled 11.9-inch touchscreen MBUX-powered infotainment system with a 1220W 17-speaker Burmester sound system and wireless charging. Safety features include blind spot assist, surround view system, parking assist, eight airbags, ESP, and optional radar-based ADAS. The car also offers a usable boot with 240 liters of storage, enough for a couple of travel bags or even a golf bag.
A Handcrafted V8 Under The Hood!
The Mercedes-AMG SL 55 is powered by the brand’s signature hand-built 4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. With an output of 476PS and 700Nm of torque, the engine propels the car from 0 to 100kmph in just 3.9 seconds. The transmission duties are handled by a 9-speed MCT automatic unit.
The car comes with Mercedes’ 4MATIC+ (AWD) drivetrain with rear-wheel steering and rear limited-slip differential as standard, ensuring excellent grip and stability during high-speed cornering. It also features an active suspension system with dynamic abilities, offering a choice of driving experiences from comfort to dynamic. Additionally, it can raise the car’s clearance by 30mm to tackle uneven terrains.
Rivalry
With its price, the AMG SL 55 directly competes with the lower variants of the Porsche 911 Cabriolet, which are similarly priced. Although open-top motoring is still not widely practiced in India, cars like the SL are likely to encourage more demand for cabriolets in the country.
