MERCEDES-Benz has given new spark to its sensational SLK roadster with the addition of two new engines, a new transmission and new design and safety features.
A powerful, 160 kW 3.2 litre V6 engine, as already featured in Mercedes’ other model lines including the S-class, makes its debut in the sports car positioning the SLK 320 as a true, performance sector competitor with a 0-100km/h acceleration time of only 6.9 seconds.
A new model, the SLK 200 Kompressor, also joins the range. The supercharged roadster features the powerful yet frugal 2-litre Kompressor engine, which is also to be featured in the forthcoming C200K C-class.
Producing 120kW power and 163Nm torque, the SLK200K delivers 20 per cent more power and 21 per cent more torque than its naturally aspirated 2-litre predecessor, the SLK200. As a result, the SLK200K reaches 100 km/h from rest in only 8.2 seconds (with the optional 6-speed manual transmission).
The newly improved Mercedes-Benz SLK roadster is available from Diesel Motors.
