2006 Mercedes-Benz SL Powertrain: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2006 | 2dr Hardtop conv. supercharged 493hp 5.4L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Extremely powerful, close to 500 hp and loads of torque. Power comes on pretty smoothly, except when really "on it", when the supercharger shows it's stuff. Easy to control. Would like to have had the option of a nmanual transmission, though. see full Mercedes-Benz SL review |
