With the completely new 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK, this exciting sports car enters its third generation. The new roadster takes driving pleasure and open-air enjoyment to a new level. It blends light-footed sportiness with stylish comfort, a striking sports-car design with total suitability for everyday use, and top performance with fuel efficiency. The SLK presents the world premiere of the panoramic vario-roof with Magic Sky Control, which switches to light or dark at the touch of a button. The ECO start/stop function assists in making the SLK about 25 per cent more economical than its predecessors. Initially, there will be only one model with a 3.5 litre V6(302 hp) on sale now, to be followed in November by an AMG version (SLK 55 AMG) and an entry level model called the SLK 250. MSRP $66,500
