Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class
2012 MERCEDES-BENZ SLK: When the Mercedes-Benz SLK coupe/roadster initially arrived in the U.S. market in January 1997, it unveiled the first automatic retractable hardtop in its market segment. For 2012, the third generation SLK continues to be known for its distinctive retractable hardtop that transforms itself from a quiet, weather-tight coupe to a topless roadster (or back) in 20 seconds. Trim-levels include SLK250, SLK350 and SLK55 AMG. The new car has a futuristic look, and at the same time, design cues reminiscent of the classic 190SL of the 1950s. Entry engine is the 1.8-liter turbo four-cylinder that produces 201 horsepower and 229 lb. ft. of torque. Stepping up to the 3.5L V8 gains you 302hp and 273 lb. ft. of torque, and the top-tier 5.5L V8 pumps out 415hp with 398 lb. ft. of torque to the rear-wheels. Two transmissions are available, the six-speed manual gearbox and the seven-speed automatic. While the standard roof panel is made of body-color polycarbonate plastic, an optional Panorama Roof features a tinted see-through panel, available with MAGIC SKY CONTROL, in which the tinting of the transparent glass panel can be controlled by the driver or passenger.
