The panoramic vario–roof with MAGIC SKY CONTROL is an innovation in the new SL. The roof glass unit changes its tone at the touch of a button from dark to transparent and vice versa within seconds. This way driver and passenger can enjoy a view of the sky even when the roof is closed. And when the glass is darkened, the heating up of the vehicle interior is considerably reduced.

Less than 20 seconds to open or close. As standard, the roof can also be opened or closed from the outside by means of the vehicle key via an infra–red signal.

With the panoramic vario roof you enjoy the free view offered by a roadster in the comfort of a closed coupé. The roof unit includes a large tinted glass element, so that you can always enjoy a free view of the sky above. A manually–operated roller sunblind protects against excessive sunlight.

Less than 20 seconds to open or close. As standard, the roof can also be opened or closed from the outside by means of the vehicle key via radio signal.

The retractable vario–roof enables the SL Roadster to combine the motoring enjoyment of a roadster with the day–to–day practicality and quiet–running qualities of a coupé. The fully electrically–retractable vario-roof converts the new SL from a hard–top coupé into a sporty roadster at the touch of a button.
