What does The "R" in my "SL500R" designate?
I'm still on a learning curve WRT my 2003 SL. I'd appreciate a clarification -- Is the "R" in registration and title of my "SL500R" something other than just designating the "R230" series or does this designate a sport model or something else?
I have the large MB tri-star in the grill, but no shift paddles. Was there a sport model in 2003? Is this a sport model?
Thanks very much for your help.

R is for Roadster
I had the same inquiry when my insurance and state registrations came to me with SL 500R on them...
I called both places and they both said that the R meant Roadster...
That was the story they both gave to me..
