This vehicle is displayed in our San Carlos California Showroom (650) 326-1000.

Climb aboard this low mile (30k) silver bullet!

The second generation of the Mercedes compact two-seater boasts an exquisite overall design, several details of which take their cue from Formula 1 racing cars. The SLK thus remains true to its reputation as a trendsetter and technological leader in this category of sports cars. The further developed vario-roof, which transforms the roadster into a coupe in just 22 seconds, is joined on the list of standard equipment by head/thorax side airbags, adaptive front airbags and two-stage belt force limiters. The chassis, steering and manual transmission have been given an even sportier edge, whilst the interior features a world first, in the shape of the innovative AIRSCARF neck-level heating system.

As refreshing, enlivening and potent as an Italian espresso, this Roadster displays its sporting prowess. Underpinning enhanced performance credentials are the powerful engine, a sporty suspension set-up, more direct steering and a precise six-speed-manual transmission.

Inspired by Formula 1 racing cars, the exterior design of the roadster continues the dynamic theme and identifies the SLK-Class as a fully-fledged member of the Mercedes-Benz sports-car family. The interior, meanwhile, features switches, buttons and trim elements with silver-colored surfaces, creating a striking contrast to the dark of the instrument panel.
