Mercedes-Benz sends the SLK to the summer roadster season. The two-seater is geared with redesigned engine and transmission, that altogether boost the overall efficiency and performance. In fact, the SKL is available to order now. As some of you might remember, before nearly 20 years, Mercedes-Benz redefined roadster vehicles with the vario-roof and combined the pleasure of driving both in sunny and rainy days and nights.
Like the predecessor, the SLK is capable of providing 204 hp (150 kW), 500 Nm of torque leads to increased acceleration – the roadster goes from 0 to 100 for 6.6 seconds. The diesel engine is especially built for power and consumption efficiency, which makes the revised SLK the most environmentally friendly car in the series.
As (almost) always, the SLK 200 comes with a redesigned 6-speed manual gearbox, that is precisely built to bring accuracy and comfort. The SLK 300 and the SLK 250 D are geared with 9-speed automatic 9G-Tronic transmission, that delivers lower engine speed and fast gear shifts.
The standard pack of the revised SLK comes with LED lamps, LTE-capable exterior and optional convenience telephony. There are also many different safety and performance systems to ensure pleasurable and safe drive.
2015 SLK comes with Attention Assist, Collision Prevention Assist Plus, different technology tweaks, that include automatic proximity control, Adaptive Brake Assist, Blind Spot Assist.
The SLK includes a smooth suspension, which could be further changed with the Dynamic Handling pack, that comes with adaptive damping system, Direct-Steer system, Dynamic Cornering System.
The redesigned SLK models surely deserve our attention an so we will continue to bring you news from the Mercedes-Benz crew. Stay tuned!

The Ducati Streetfighter 848 was the inspiration for the “streetfighter yellow” colour of the SLK 55 AMG. And here the designers definitely got it! This vision ensures an exciting appearance from all angles: the exceptional paint finish is guaranteed to provide a high level of appeal. The AMG Performance Studio made it possible to bring this design for the customers as an individual optional extra. Not only is the outside look of the car stunningly appealing, but also is the interior of the SLK 55 AMG. Here the contrasting yellow stitching makes a striking effect against the black nappa leather appointments, and is to be found on the door centre panels, beltlines, armrests, leather-covered roll-over bars, dashboard, the shift lever gaiter and also the AMG Performance steering wheel. You already love it, don’t you! Furthermore the yellow AMG door sill panels feature LED technology, and everything together rounds off the striking effect of the interior.
