Acceleration without an interruption of tractive power: that’s the dream that inspires our Mercedes-Benz engineers to work on the development and perfection of new automatic transmissions. With 7G-TRONIC they have advanced far in their quest to reach this objective: the seven forward gears of the 7G TONIC transmission make possible smaller intervals from gear to gear than ever before. And when moving down through the gears, the multiple downshift capability allows several gears to be skipped at once, making for extremely powerful acceleration in any gear.
The 7G-TRONIC transmission is specified as standard for the SL 280, SL 350 and SL 500. These three models also come with the option of the 7G-TRONIC Sport, which allows manual gear changes as well via steering-wheel gearshift paddles. If you keep the paddle pressed when shifting down, the SL will automatically select the gear from which the best acceleration is possible. The SL 63 AMG is fitted with the new AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission, which changes gear in record time without any interruptions in tractive power. In the SL 65 AMG you switch to full pulling power with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT 5-speed automatic transmission. And in the SL 600 a 5-speed automatic transmission ensures optimum power output. For driving enjoyment of the highest level.
