The Mercedes-Benz 230SL Pagoda, designed by French automobile designer Paul Bracq, is a classic luxury sports car produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1963 to 1971.
The 230SL Pagoda was named after its distinctive hardtop, which featured a concave shape that resembled the roof of a pagoda. The car was powered by a 2.3-liter inline-six engine that produced 150 horsepower and was paired with a four-speed manual or automatic transmission.
The Pagoda was known for its advanced engineering and innovative design features, such as its sleek and aerodynamic body, independent suspension system, and advanced safety features. It was also equipped with a range of high-end features, such as power steering, air conditioning, and leather upholstery.
Paul Bracq's design for the Pagoda was highly influential and is still considered a classic example of mid-century modern design
