When your everyday routines start to box you
in, open up an SLK roadster. Nothing sets you
free like a sports car — especially one that can
trace its roots to history’s first checkered flag.
After 121 years of racing, the thrill of winning
is a Mercedes-Benz ritual. And it’s why the
thrill of driving an SLK will never feel routine.

201 turbo-fed horses with a
short-throw 6-speed manual

Countless innovations in power, handling and aerodynamics add
up to one neverending pursuit: to advance the pure joy of driving.

being breathtaking. Its heritage may extend back to the very
origins of motorsports, but it’s really one of reaching farther
ahead, faster with every lap, and of having more fun along
the way. Even in the seriousness of Formula 1,® where an
SLK has paced countless races as its official Safety Car, the
joys of performance are undeniable and tangible. In racing,
however, each finish line is the starting point of what’s next.
What Mercedes- Benz engineers have learned in competition
can be found not just in the free- revving, pavement-clinging
responsiveness of an SLK. It’s also evident in its highly rigid
body, and the protective nature of its safety systems — many
of which made their sports-car debut under the Three-Pointed
Star. It’s most apparent, however, in the way the passion for
open-air driving endures at Mercedes-Benz —even under the
increasing demands of progress. Actually, because of them.
From the roofless yet record-setting racecars of the 1910s
to the the iconic midcentury SL, what has always defined a
Mercedes-Benz roadster—or racecar —are the bonds that
instantly form: between driver and car, car and road, road
and sky, and all of you in harmony as one. It’s what each
precisely tailored detail of the SLK’s two-seat cockpit has in
common with every move of its agile chassis: the ability to
transcend time, and touch your soul, like no other roadster.

a stylish detachable hardtop. The SLK’s signature power top is the
ongoing evolution of two core Mercedes-Benz beliefs: Truly great
design is always in style. And a true sports car is always in season.

When the first SLK debuted nearly 20 years ago, it brought
the convertible top into a new modern age. At the time, it
was the only car in production factory- engineered with a
power retractable hardtop, but it started a trend that swept
the industry. Today, while there are countless conceptually
similar roofs on the market, the 3rd-generation SLK hardtop
continues to lead the way with its sleek design, its smooth
and swift operation, and its two see-through configurations.
The SLK’s heated glass rear window somersaults as the top
is lowered beneath the double- hinged trunklid. The result is
a space- efficient nesting of its components, preserving more
than 60% of the cargo space. It also creates a trunk whose
proportions are elegant on the outside, and generous on the
inside. But the litmus test of any roadster’s design is whether
its style vanishes the moment its top comes into view. Few
roadsters transform into a coupe as seamlessly as an SLK.
In profile, the SLK’s muscular shoulders are free of unsightly
shut lines, for a clean look whether the top is up or down. It
takes less than 20 seconds to raise or lower the roof — from
a console switch or remotely from outside. 3 And even with the
power hardtop up, you can still take in the sky. The standard
Panorama roof integrates a lightweight tinted see-through
panel. The optional MAGIC SKY CONTROL® lets you darken
its glass panel electrically — a Mercedes-Benz exclusive.

in a while, a world record.
When it comes to enduring performance, Mercedes-Benz has a long record of overdelivering on both potential and passion. Unlike promises and hearts, however, speed
records are something everyone tries to break. In 1954’s Mille Miglia, legendary driver
Stirling Moss and his equally iconic 300 SLR racecar achieved more than a racing win.
Averaging 98.5 mph, they set a 10-hour, 7-minute, 48-second course record that still
stands. It’s a fitting symbol of something else that’s never been broken: The promise
within every Mercedes-Benz sports car to win hearts as passionately as it does races.
