Mercedes SL-Class Engines and Transmissions

A Mercedes SL-Class engine in this generation is gasoline, with a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain. Choose the 2.8 MT Roadster for a manual gearbox, or the 2.8 AT if you want that same displacement with an automatic. The 5.0 AT Roadster is the larger, more effortless automatic example.
