Believe it or not, there are times when we here at Wilson Mercedes-Benz have trouble convincing people that the German automaker really is sixty years old. This is because vehicles in the new Mercedes-Benz lineup rarely show their age. They're updated every year, and throughout the decades, the company has managed to keep its style fresh and modern. And now the latest example of this can be clearly seen in the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL.

Specifically, the redesigned luxury grand tourer was recently shown off at the 2012 North American International Auto show. It came packing a new level of performance that impressed even the most diehard of gear heads. Of course, we know that this isn't exactly an impossible feat for the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class to pull off, but trust us when we said it did it to an extent like never before.

And just how did it manage to do so? Through a rather impressive reduction in its weight by 300 pounds. This new, lean body results in less power needing to be used to accelerate the vehicle, which in turn benefits the driver as increased acceleration times. What's more, this reduction in weight also results in better fuel economy. In other words, Mercedes-Benz is providing proof that performance and fuel economy really can play nice together.

Can't wait to get your hands on this performance-driven Mercedes-Benz? Stay tuned. More information on the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is sure to come.
