8 Liter twin cam engine, developing 185 HP.
Power is transferred to the rear by the afore mentioned factory 5 speed transmission which was a rare option.
This Euro 107, as it is known by Mercedes aficionados, is said to be one the best, if not the best driving SL of the series.
Powered by a straight 6 engine (making the front end of the car lighter than the V8) it promoted sportier handling and a better-balanced car.
The twin cam design put out more horsepower than all but one V8 Mercedes of the time.
The seldom found 5-speed manual transmission, provides good acceleration and exceptional high-speed cruising ability, all while providing much better fuel economy than the V8 cars.
Considering the above and the lower maintenance costs of the Straight 6 vs the V8 it all adds up to very desirable package for a Mercedes Roadster.
As an added bonus, the Euro versions featured anti-lock brakes, which were not available in the US at the time.
