If any top-end motorcar is worth a six-figure price, the Mercedes-Benz SL600 might be the one. The SL600 and lower-cost SL500 are similar, but the SL600 holds a V-12 while the SL500 has a V-8. Both two-seaters have a retractable hardtop. Mercedes-Benz also offers a high-performance SL55 AMG edition with a more potent V-8. An even more powerful SL65 AMG model that has a 604-horsepower V-12 emerged for 2005. Read More
