Mercedes SL-Class Engines and Transmissions

A Mercedes SL-Class engine is a gasoline unit, with the drivetrain sending power to the rear wheels. You might see a 2.5 MT4 Coupe with a manual transmission, or Roadster versions such as the 2.3 AT automatic and 2.3 MT4 manual. Those powertrain pairings are examples, not the full lineup.
