SLK-Class

2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK

Enlarge Photo

The SLK roadster is redesigned for 2005 as a larger vehicle, overall, with sleeker styling that borrows cues from the automaker's SLR McLaren supercar. A new 3.5-liter V-6 engine uses variable valve timing to generate 268 horsepower, and drives the rear wheels via a either six-speed-manual or a seven-speed-automatic gearbox with TouchShift operation. The car rides on 17-inch alloy wheels and performance tires, and a lowered sport suspension is offered for more-aggressive motoring. The car's all-new interior is adorned with silver trim and switchgear, with a dashboard that flows into the door panels and an instrument panel that sports larger, chronograph-style gauges. As before it comes with a power retractable hardtop, but a new "Airscarf" feature is said to extend the convertible season in cooler climates by blowing warm air from vents located in the driver and passenger's headrests. A premier clearcoat paint formula uses nanotechnology for added resistance to scratches and dings. A V-8-powered AMG model is expected to join the line within the coming year.
