Check the other posts...it has specs there. It's a v6 with about 245hp. And supposedly going for about 81% of the cost of the SL500 in Germany which would make it about 69k in the US.

The SL350 also has SEQUENTRONIC...a six-speed sequential manual transmission.
From GermanCarFans:
Mercedes-Benz is also presenting the new SL 350 to the public for the first time at the Paris Motor Show. Equipped with a further development of the V6 engine with an output of 180 kW/245 hp, this two-seater has excellent credentials for delivering exemplary sports car dynamism: the SL 350 accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds and has an (electronically limited) maximum speed of 250 km/h.
As standard equipment Mercedes-Benz has combined this V6 power unit with the automated six-speed transmission SEQUENTRONIC, which is operated from the steering wheel in typical racing car fashion in the SL and therefore permits particularly rapid gearchanges at the touch of a button. Other standard appointments in this six-cylinder SL-Class model include high-tech innovations such as the vario-roof, Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC™), an automatic rollover bar, electrically adjustable integral seats, adaptive driver and passenger airbags and large head-thorax side-bags.

SMG on the bottom of the line?
how about a freakin' SMG on the SL55, guys?!!?!?!?!?
sheesh.
and don't give me any grief about "too much torque" etc. etc. if the 575M can ship with an F1 tranny so can an SL55 - MB just has to be willing to do it, which they thus far have not been.
doody.
