Mercedes SL-Class Engines and Transmissions

A typical Mercedes SL-Class engine here is a gasoline 3.0 with a manual gearbox, as on the 3.0 MT Coupe and 3.0 MT Roadster. Those are selected examples, both rear-wheel drive, so the powertrain, transmission and drivetrain stay simple: you shift, and the car pulls from behind.
