The SLK-Class from Mercedes-Benz attracts everyone's gaze. The design radiates more power and energy than ever before. And anyway, top performance is its hallmark – from the AMG 5.5-litre V8 to the spaciousness to the appointments.

The motor press dubbed it the "small Silver Arrow". No wonder. From the louvred radiator grille nose to the distinctive tail, the SLK-Class shows a great deal of respect for the legendary racing car. And yet the Roadster is unmistakably an SLK featuring innovative design details.

Incidentally, the SLK is the world’s best-selling roadster in its class. Since its debut in March 2004, over 100,000 vehicles have been supplied. Hardly surprising though with its superb blend of sportiness and comfort. The unique AIRSCARF[1], for instance, ensures that SLK drivers can enjoy the top-down sensation the whole year round. And its arrow-shaped body just oozes classic sports car design.
