Engineered from the top down, to be enjoyed with the top down. A distinct sense of freedom washes over you as the retractable hardtop vanishes into the trunk. And yet what's rooted in place imparts an unwavering sense of well-being. The unyielding Mercedes-Benz devotion to safety is at the core of every 2010 SLK. By taking its engineering wholeheartedly, the SLK lets you drive to your heart's content.
No other sports car can stake a claim on where the SLK-Class earned its performance pedigree. The SLK has served as the official pace car of Formula 1 - the inspiration for its sleek design. And it comes from a lifelong passion for every measure of performance - the reason it will inspire you.
SLK300: 3.0-liter V6 engine with 228 hp @ 6,000 rpm and 221 lb-ft net torque @ 2,500 - 5,000 rpm. 6-speed manual or optional 7-speed automatic transmission. Rear wheel drive.
SLK350: 3.5-liter V6 engine with 300 hp @ 6,500 rpm and 265 lb-ft net torque @ 4,900 rpm. 7-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive.
SLK55 AMG: AMG-built SOHC 24-Valve V8 engine with 355 hp @ 5,750 rpm and 376 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm. 7-speed automatic with AMG Speedshift.
The lightweight body of the SLK-Class is strategically reinforced with high-strength steel, aluminum and magnesium. Dual micro-alloy steel roll bars and oval steel tubes in the A-pillars help to preserve occupant space in a rollover, even with the top down.
The SLK's six air bags include dual knee air bags and head/thorax side-impact air bags. Seat belts feature Emergency Tensioning Devices and adaptive belt-force limiters.
Accident avoidance is the ultimate form of occupant protection. So every SLK comes with an agile 4-wheel independent suspension, emergency-sensing Brake Assist, and the handling reassurance of ESP.
