Mercedes SLK-Class Roadster - Design

Design :

All-new, from the Star in front to the sky above

From its iconic grille to its signature power hardtop, the 2012 SLK-Class advances the rich racing heritage of Mercedes-Benz sports cars.LED Daytime Running Lamps, LED taillamps and aluminum-trimmed roll bars meld substance with sporty style. And with a more aerodynamic shape and a wider stance, it's sculpted to slice through the wind and carve through every corner.

In 20 seconds, it can transform you :

Like the Gullwing doors of the iconic 300SL, the hallmark of the SLK is its power retractable hardtop. In under 20 seconds, it folds into the trunk, leaving ample luggage space and delivering open-roadster euphoria. Choose from the standard steel roof or two Panorama sunroof options: a tinted see-through panel, or an innovative electronically variable tinted panel called MAGIC SKY CONTROL.

Holds you close, and sets you free :

Pure sports-car magic: the embrace of two deeply contoured seats with every pleasure of driving at your fingertips. The impeccable SLK cockpit offers both an intimate bond with the open road and a sense of total escape: Precisely stitched leather. A racy flat-bottom steering wheel. And crisp metallic trim on its gauges, controls and the round air vents inspired by the SLS AMG supercar.

Trendsetting or timeless, as you wish :

Sporty coupe or open roadster. Pure performance with rich refinement. And as modern or classic as you want your SLK to be. Hand-fitted leather is set off by cool aluminum trim on the console and roll bars. Or you can opt for super-soft cross-stitched Premium leather, as well as the warmth of the Trim Package, with Burl Walnut wood on the steering wheel, shift knob and console.
