This is the latest generation of the development of the previous model, so that the same compact size, but with a sporty look, with the increase of four petrol engines, the more power with low fuel consumption and less CO2 emissions.
Current SLK looks more muscular, is no longer just a “power” of the status of open-top two-seater car, now look like sports cars, but the level of repair.
Three engine options
Mercedes-Benz has turned to the power of the SLK, with three different engines. The list starts with a 228 hp 3.0-liter DOHC V6 feeding the SLK300 before to 300 horsepower 3.5-liter DOHC V6 revive the SLK350, which culminated with the 355 hp 5 ,5-liter SOHC rumbling V8 under the tent, the SLK55 AMG.
This week, the tester Meeker of the trio, but that is not to say that the patient still. A generous portion of the torque (221 foot-pounds @ 2500-3000 rpm), which is not a laudable work in hectic SLK open road, without the king to ransom in a fuel contracts.
Mercedes-Benz Literature offers 0-100kph time 6.3 seconds, the SLK300 rightly believe, based on my less scientific test. Fuel consumption is 12.0 and 8.0 l/100km city and highway driving are.
Automatic and manual transmission options
Although a smooth transition, 6-speed automatic transmission is me-up smoother engine of the tester, 6-speed manual gearbox, which is standard equipment. A 7-speed paddle shift with AUTOBOX to the optional sport package.
Improved performance
Perhaps the most exciting in the SLK has rear wheel drive, combined with excellent operational improvements such as turbine exhaust note. I marveled at the clean, linear flow of the 3.0-liter V6. Although the base SLK engine, this mill, which a lot of satisfaction when the right foot drops. Potential similar to the outcome of the test is relatively simple, rarely want to be again.
6-speed AUTOBOX is a view of the tester unit for use in the electronic manual mode. This is done on the rod, because the lack of a sports package. However, the transmission changed gears with precision at a good speed.
New SLK is significantly improved in most areas of the benefits of the 22 seconds to open folding metal roof is much higher and the quality of the relatively spacious interior, the boat is big enough for two weekend bags and return to the Work false desire and exterior styling.
Take comfort that can be decisive, even tempestuous, on some road surfaces, but still a very easy car to drive and now have the ability and strength, not just classified style roadster, but a real high quality sports cars.
