In early 1996, stratte the development of a successor (R230) to the then SL generation. What was special was that the virtual development took place in a state-of-the-art computer room called ‘CAVE’ (Computer Aided Virtual Environment), which had already been used for the development of the W203 in 1995. The supercomputer in the ‘CAVE’ could generate life-size images of the designs using five projectors, allowing the designers to study each surface in detail. Over five years of development, the new SL was unveiled at the IAA in Frankfurt and sales in Europe started in November 2001. At our auction next week is a very neat original Dutch-delivered example with, of course, a correct NAP.
