The latest promo video for the Mercedes SL 400 is an advertisement both for the German roadster and the beautiful and historic city of Porto in Portugal. It’s got the whole package: a sexy drop-top with a throaty V6, a hot brunette with a penchant for the finer things in life, and a city brimming with culture and taste.
Speed and performance are irrelevant. This – fine car, fine road, fine girl, fine culture – is what we think makes a petrolhead. It’s all about the adventure.
