Bruno Sacco design and end-of-an-era status

Mercedes-Benz SL (R129) · history

The R129's styling is credited to Bruno Sacco and repeatedly called timeless and a masterpiece, positioned as the last of the over-engineered, no-budget SLs and the end of an era. Its wide, low stance draws comparisons to a Ferrari Testarossa, and commenters see the design aging exceptionally well.
