In 1971, the R107 was introduced with a new design and safety features that were subsequently seen on later Mercedes-Benz models. For the first time, V8 engines were fitted to the SL-Class. With production running from 1971 to 1989, the R107 was one of the few longest-produced vehicles by Mercedes-Benz. The R107 received a very minor update in 1972 with new rubber-rimmed side mirrors from the W116, and a major update in 1985 for the 1986 model year. Engine options were updated in 1980 for the 1981 model year with new aluminum V8 engines from the W126 S-Class introduced in 1979, while the 2,8-liter inline six-cylinder engine was carried over. It was updated again in 1985 for the 1986 model year with a new 3,0-liter inline six-cylinder engine from the W124 and enlarged 4,2- and 5,5-liter V8 engines, while the 5,0-liter V8 engine was carried over. The R107 received its first update in 1985 with a deeper front air dam, a revised braking system with larger discs and four-piston calipers, a driver's side airbag (standard for the US market and an extra-cost option for the European market), and, for the European market, a catalytic converter option.
