the 1,897 cc M121 BII inline-four with a single overhead camshaft driven by a duplex chain, bore and stroke 85 by 83.6 mm, breathing through two Solex 44PHH twin-choke sidedraught carburettors

Chassis

Instead of the purpose-built tubular spaceframe of the 300 SL, the 190 SL uses a shortened steel unitary floorpan taken from the W121 saloon, with double wishbones at the front, swing axles at the rear, coil springs all round, recirculating ball steering and power-assisted 230 mm drum brakes. Dry weight is 1,160 kg, 20 kg more with the hardtop.
