SLK

RACING ROOTS,
REACHING HIGH

IT’S A SPORTS CAR THAT TRULY KNOWS DRIVING IS A SPORT.
AND A ROADSTER THAT LOVES WHEN YOU OPEN IT UP.

Standard and available equipment varies by model. Please see back of brochure.

HUG THE ROAD, EMBRACE THE SKY

The soul of the SLK roadster traces directly to the first finish line,

when a Daimler- powered car won history’s first auto race in 1909.

The engineers of Mercedes-Benz have always taken motoring quite

seriously — but that’s never stopped them from having a blast along

the way. In fact, their unquenchable love of driving is what drives

them. There may be no clearer evidence of this than the SLK. Its

countless advancements make it an even purer sports car — the

perfect union of unrelenting progress and undiluted passion. You

don’t just touch the road and the sky in an SLK. You feel them.

CLEARS
YOUR HEAD

EVEN WITH THE TOP UP, THE SLK’S PANORAMA ROOF CAN SHOW YOU THE
STARS. PUT THE POWER HARDTOP DOWN, AND IT’LL LET YOU REACH THEM.

COUPE TO ROADSTER IN 20 SECONDS

In less than a third of a minute, the SLK can transform your state

of mind. That’s all it takes to quick- change it from a sleek closed

coupe to a wide- open roadster. Even more miraculous is what

doesn’t change in the process: the taut muscle of its lines and its

perfect sports -car proportions. Unlike most hardtop convertibles,

its shutlines and seams are well - concealed, and its folded top

is remarkably compact. And even in closed form, there’s an airy

openness to an SLK, thanks to a standard Panorama roof that lets

you view the stratosphere from a comfortably cozy atmosphere.

MAKES
YOU
SHINE

HOW YOU OUTFIT YOUR SLK’S CABIN REFLECTS
YOUR SENSE OF STYLE — AND YOUR DRIVING STYLE.
THE SLK’S LEATHER IS TREATED SO IT REFLECTS
SOMETHING ELSE: THE HARSH RAYS OF THE SUN.

ALWAYS IN SEASON

As summer- loving as the SLK is, your pleasure
doesn’t plummet when the thermometer takes
a dive. The twin power seats can offer soothing
heat in winter, and a virtual scarf that stretches
your top- down driving season. AIRSCARF® can
envelop your neck and shoulders in warm air
that adapts automatically to your driving speed.
Even with the power hardtop up, the standard
Panorama roof’s tinted skylight lets you bask in
the sun without baking, or ride under a blanket
of stars. Available MAGIC SKY CONTROL® even
lets you darken the glass at a button’s touch.

FOREVER IN FASHION

The Mercedes- Benz tradition of craftsmanship
is everywhere to be found in the SLK cockpit.
Its upholstery is precisely double-topstitched in
contrasting thread and hand- fitted to each seat.
An advanced treatment of the available leather —
even the smooth, supple Nappa leather — helps
the seats reflect sunlight. Not only does it keep
the seats appreciably cooler on summer days, it
also enhances their enduring beauty. The wide
palette of color choices lets you suit your style,
from rich tone - on -tone Brown to bold Bengal
Red leathers, along with console and door trim
in either of two hand - finished woods or sleek,
satin- finish aluminum. Genuine carbon fiber is a
fourth option for the AMG SLK 55. Beneath the
surface, steam - expanded foams — a process
Mercedes-Benz pioneered in the ’90s — eliminate
harmful chemicals, while products from flax,
coconut and olives support the seats, many trim
components in a more earth-friendly fashion.

RACES
YOUR PULSE

WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE HEART IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL.
ESPECIALLY IF YOU MEASURE YOUR PULSE IN RPM.
