“107.026 Series – 2,769 FIA Homologated Rally Racers made Street Legal and sold to the public. Most MB enthusiasts know there were two versions of the 5.0 SLC built between 1977 and 1981, but fewer know the engine change was not concurrent with the switch from 3 speed to 4 speed automatic transmissions.
Impetus for the engine change was to achieve compliance with a desired FIA Rally classification. The displacement of the original 5.0-liter, aluminum V8 used in the 450 SLC 5.0 was reduced slightly (from 5025 cc to 4973 cc). I always thought that that change in displacement, and corresponding lower bore (87 mm and later 86.5 mm), coincided with the change in designation of 450 SLC 5.0 to 500 SLC and with the change in transmission from 3-speed auto to 4-speed auto.
Now as far as power is concerned, both the 450 SLC 5.0 and the 500 SLC were always rated at 240 PS DIN. The lower power rating of 231 PS DIN only came out later after production of the 500 SLC had ended. Thus there was never a 450 SLC 5.0 or 500 SLC with 231 PS DIN. The 500 SL started with the same 240 PS DIN that the 450 SLC 5.0, 500 SLC, and also the early 500 SE/SEL. Power was lowered to 231 PS DIN in October 1981. By that time, production of the 500 SLC had ceased. That’s why there was never a 231-HP 500 SLC.
Still, it’s not surprising that even the 450 SLC 5.0 with the 3-speed auto tranny should feel faster than an ordinary 4.5-liter 450 SLC since the 5.0 was more powerful (240 PS vs 225 PS both in Euro version) and lighter (1515 kg vs 1630 kg of the Euro versions, respectively). This difference is even more pronounced when you compare the U.S. version 450 SLC (180 HP SAE Net) with the Euro 450 SLC 5.0 (240 PS DIN = 238 HP SAE Net). The horsepower difference is much greater (58 HP) and the weight is also greater for the U.S. model.”
