2011 2012 Mercedes Benz SLK

    The roadster enjoys an all-new body, bearing a resemblance undeniable with other members of the family Mercedes, the CLS-Class AMG and the SLS. The more angular lines, a grille right with the logo of the Mercedes-Benz star and oversized lights wrapped around the rear give the SLK a more aggressive look while defying the wind with a drag coefficient of 0, 30 (the current model has a Cx of 0.32).

    SLK-Class offers a choice of three folding hardtops Power. The first is a painted metal roof, the second panel has a panoramic tinted glass, while the new roof MagicSky Control includes a glass panel can vary the degree of shade or light infiltrating the cockpit at the touch of a button.

   A 4-cylinder, 1.8 liter and propels slk200 SLK250 base, producing 184 horsepower and 204, respectively. The North American versions of the SLK shun 4-cylinder for a V6 3.5-liter 302-horsepower, whose model designation is obviously the SLK350. The latter should 0-100 km / h in 5.6 seconds and reach a speed electronically limited to 248 km / h (155 mph).

2012 Mercedes-Benz SL Roadster convoy was spy photographed in Spain

A convoy of camouflaged Mercedes-Benz SL prototypes, which were accompanied by several other vehicles wearing the well-known star on their bonnet, was spy photographed in Spain last week by a car enthusiast, named Frank. Frank stated that he was on a trip to the south of Spain and he could not be happier to see the next SL, embodied by a heavily camouflaged Mercedes-Benz Coupe/Cabriolet. Despite the heavy cladding, a simple glimpse at the pictures makes us realize that the two-piece folding hard top from the predecessor is kept by the new generation model. Its styling will most probably be inspired from the German firm's more "artsy" design philosophy, which could be noticed on the recent concept models, such as the F800 Style, together with the latest CLS, along with a more aggressive front grille. Key components, such as electrical systems and the suspension bits are expected to be shared by both models as the 2012 SL was developed alongside the SLS Gullwing. No information was released concerning the engine, but there are some rumors which suggest that an entry-level V6 as well as the usual lineup of V8 units incorporating an upgraded V12 for the flagship version and possibly, Merc's newly developed 5.5-liter bi-turbo V8 for the AMG model.
