This model introduced a larger, more powerful V8 engine and brought enhancements such as a new rear suspension, anti-lock brakes (ABS), a limited-slip differential, a driver's side airbag, and standard leather upholstery. The federally mandated high-mounted third brake light was also added, positioned on the trunk.<br> <br> Performance<br> Power comes from a Bosch fuel-injected 5.5-liter/338 cubic inch V8 delivering 227 bhp, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Motor Trend measured a 0-60 mph time of 6.8 seconds, while Road & Track reported 7.5 seconds-making the 560SL over three seconds quicker than the 380SL .<br> Pricing<br> At the start of the 1986 model year, the 560SL's base price was $48,200-equivalent to about $143,700 today, which is just below the price of a 2026 AMG SL 55 convertible.
