With the presentation of the 230 SL at the Geneva Motor Show in 1963, Daimler-Benz launched a new sports car to replace two outgoing roadsters: the legendary 300 SL and the popular 190 SL. While stylistically similar, their respective design concepts were vastly different, so it proved to be quite a challenge to create a new common denominator. The new SL was a synthesis of the two previous models which set new standards in driving dynamics and safety. The new SL, known internally as series W113, was the first sports car ever with a rigid passenger safety cell along with front and rear crumple zones. The body design was characterized by its removable, concave shaped hardtop, which also gave it its nickname, the 'Pagoda.'
