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.

Are you making this up?
Please post a link.
There is no Plus.

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

Thanks for sharing!
The information is incorrect though.
Could be that the marketing dept. updating the brochure from the previous model year (which featured the 7G-Tronic Plus) just changed the 7 to a 9.
Here is a snapshot direct from Mercedes Germany.

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.

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.
