Manufacturer : Mercedes-Benz Model : SLK Trim : 350 Body Type : Roadster Sale : September Base Price : $45,000 Powertrain : 3.5-liter, 268-hp, 258-lb-ft V6, rwd, 7 speed automatic Curb weight : 3231 pounds Length : 160.7" Width : 70.1" Wheelbase : 95.6" Wheel Rim Size : 17" Valvetrain : 24-Valve Cylinder : Vee Displacement : 3,500 cc 0 TO 60 MPH: 5.5 seconds
The 360-horsepower V8, the second-generation SLK is longer and wider than the original, the 2005 SLK offers more passenger room and a host of new features. The all new SLK offers a retractable hardtop that lowers and raises in seconds.The new version, adds a technology that allows the head restraints to blow warm air at neck level.Other new technologies on the SLK include bi-xenon headlamps with a cornering function and a seven-speed-automatic transmission. Three different engine variants are available for the new car, developing from 120 kW/163 hp to 265 kW/360 hp. The range includes ? for the first time in this vehicle class ? an eight-cylinder power unit.
The convertible hardtop was redesigned for faster operation and a more compact size when folded for added trunk space. Large analog gauges dominate the dashboard, but the center stack is still awash in small buttons and knobs.
Today?s Mercedes-Benz SLK was never taken seriously as a sports car, even in supercharged AMG format. Perhaps this new Benz roadster, with its stout V6 and V8 engines, revised hardware and sleeker look, will provide the goods to go head-to-head with the BMW Z4, Honda S2000 and Porsche Boxster.

The picture is actually showing a CLS, a FOUR DOOR luxury saloon - you can see the rear handles on the pic - placed between the E and S Classes, not a SLK!!!
