2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK Class
Under the hood is a choice of engines so advanced in their tuning they can deliver nearly their full power at low RPMs, assuring rocket-like acceleration. The retractable hardtop signals pure exhilarations, converting the SLK-Class from coupe to convertible in 22 silent, near magical seconds.
Redesigned front air dam with increased formula-1 influence, fog lights with chrome surrounds, and larger mesh patterns, revised rear apron with diffuser look, new trapezoidal chrome exhaust tips, rear-view mirrors with arrow-shaped turn indicators, car-wash friendly, short antenna, SLK 280 rebadged as SLK300.
New 3-spoke steering wheel with revised button pattern, 3-D appearance for gauges and needles, new audio and telematics system includes a 5-inch color screen, in-dash 6-disc CD changer, and Bluetooth interface for hands-free phone use.
