All the earlier literature refers to 9-gtronic. All the new cars (SL included), equipped with 9 speed, have the "plus" version -- was wondering if there is a difference.
Go to the MBUSA site and BUILD a SL450 and you will see under PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY the STANDARD FEATURES and there is no 9G Plus. There is 9G-TRONIC 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH SHIFT PADDLES
The brochure your looking at is false information.
Then again, there is no information for a SL400 at this tiime on that site. I don't believe they make a SL400 anymore.
Oh, and buy the SL550 instead of a SL400/450. Or if buying used, buy a 2014 CL550. There's a good buy in Memphis Tn. Has 13K miles on it and goes for $56,800 bucks. Found on CARGURUS

I believe the OP is in the UK. In the US, the SL400 is called the SL450, the SL500 is the SL550
Thanks Wolfman ---strange because the UK 2016 & 2017 brochure has the same specification (plus) but, the technical spec on the website is as per the USA & Germany.
At least that is cleared up now.

Yep, I checked the online spec (UK) vs the 2016 & 2017 brochures and the brochures appear to be incorrect!
Rather have a brand new 2017 SL400 (zero miles and I know how it has been driven) with all the items i want. . Don't really want or need the extra power from the V8.
