design

Exterior

The long bonnet that is typical of roadsters has been retained; instead of the front based on the Formula 1 vehicles, the SLK is now recognizable by a grill with a central strut that carries the star in the grill, and underneath is another central air inlet . The upper end of the bonnet is shaped by two large air outlets. In contrast to its predecessors, the rear-view mirrors with integrated indicators are located on the door flanks, as in the CLS . The headlights are aligned more horizontally and the indicators are located as an LED strip at the lower end of this. In addition, LED daytime running light strips are placed in the side inlets of the front apron. The rising sideline and the short stern were also retained. However, the shark fin design antenna (for DAB + and convenience telephony) is on the stern. The rear is visually widened by the LED lights that have been drawn out.

Innovations

Magic Sky Control

For the first time there will be the Magic Sky Control called by Mercedes-Benz in large-scale automotive production. This is a switchable glass roof that was previously only known from the Maybach . The difference to normal glass roofs is that the Magic Sky Control keeps the heat and rays of the sun out of the interior; it can be darkened or lightened variably. When the mode is switched on, the temperature on interior parts such as armrests is up to 10 degrees Celsius below the values ​​with conventional green glass. The roof works through the physics of a plate capacitor: If an electrical voltage is applied to the glass structure, particles in the glass structure align themselves so that light can penetrate the pane. If, however, the voltage remains switched off, the particles remain randomly aligned. This partially blocks the light and the lens stays dark. Accordingly, the interior heats up less and the air conditioning is relieved when the roof is switched to dark.

Airguide

As an alternative to the normal draft-stop, a new draft-stop system called Airguide was developed for the third generation of the SLK roadster . Strictly speaking, it is a turntable wind deflector, which consists of transparent plastic panes attached to the roll bars; to prevent air currents, they can be swiveled towards the center of the vehicle.

Technical specifications

There is a choice of three gasoline engines with direct injection for the market launch. The two 1.8-liter, turbo-charged inline four-cylinder gasoline engines in the SLK 200 and SLK 250 produce 184 hp and 204 hp. The preliminary top model SLK 350 has an output of 306 hp from a displacement of 3.5 liters. With the exception of the entry-level model SLK 200 , which comes with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard, the two more powerful models have the further developed 7-speed automatic transmission 7G-Tronic Plus at market launch , which is also available for the SLK 200 on request ; From December 2011 the SLK 250 will also be delivered ex works with the 6-speed manual transmission. In addition, all models have the ECO start-stop system as standard. An AMG version was presented at the IAA 2011, this version features a further development of cylinder deactivation . The introduction of the 2.1 liter inline four-cylinder diesel engine in the SLK 250 CDI , which was also presented at the IAA 2011, took place at the beginning of 2012. This was initially only delivered with the 7-speed automatic transmission 7G-Tronic Plus , from April 2012 the 6- Gearbox with automatic start-stop as standard. In August 2017, Mercedes-Benz stopped selling the diesel variant.
