Only time will tell if the latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL will be looked back in the future in the same positive way as some of its predecessors do today such as the original W198 or even the Bruno Sacco-designed R129 from the 1990s.

Head over the break to watch the five-minute long clip.
