New Mercedes Benz SLK Class Sports Car
June 11, 2004 | Levent OZLER
More alluring, more powerful and sportier than its predecessor, the car celebrated its European market premiere last March.
The second generation of the Mercedes compact two-seater also boasts an exquisite overall design, several details of which take their cue from Formula 1.
It has a further developed vario-roof transforming the roadster into a coupe in just 22 seconds. This is joined on the list of standard equipment by head/thorax sidebags, adaptive front air bags and two-stage belt force limiters. The car's chassis, steering and manual transmission have been given an even sportier edge.
The interior has also been completely redesigned and upgraded through the use of carefully selected materials. The design concept is distinguished by switches, buttons and trim elements with silver-coloured surfaces, which form a striking contrast to the dark tones of the dashboard.
