Mercedes SL-Class Engines and Transmissions

A Mercedes SL-Class engine here is gasoline-powered with a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain. The 3.7 MT adds a manual gearbox if you want more involvement, while the 5.0 AT7 and 5.4 AT use automatics for easier cruising. These are examples of the powertrain range, not every transmission offered.
