- "K" was used in the 1930s, indicating a supercharger ("Kompressor") equipped engine. One exception is the SSK, where K indicates "Kurz" (short-wheelbase).
- "L" means "Leicht" (lightweight) for sporting models, and "Lang" (long-wheelbase) for sedan models.
- "R" stands for "Rennen" (racing), used for racing cars (for example, the 300SLR).
- "S" means "Sport" for high-performance models or "Special" for flagship models.
