The SLK is a thoroughly modern coupe expressed in typical Mercedes-Benz style. Short front and rear overhangs emphasize its powerful appearance. Twin power domes on the engine hood, wide doors and a low stance are enduring design elements from classic Mercedes- Benz roadsters of the past. A car for all seasons, the SLK is equipped with a fully retractable hard top that turns the coupe into an open air roadster in just 25 seconds. Truly a state-of-the-art integration of form and function, the SL32 AMG's subtle yet aggressive style hints at the power contained underneath its hood. Inside the main cabin, CFC- free air conditioning filters air electrostatically and has dual temperature controls to accommodate the differing desires of you and you passenger. The manually telescoping steering wheel, optional in the SLK230, can also be adjusted for personal preference. Inside every SLK, the natural beauty of rich leather upholstery surrounds you. The machined aluminum trim of the SLK230 creates the perfect accent to the coupe's sporting character. While the high quality hand-polished wood of the SLK230 and the SLK32 AMG complement an interior cabin crafted solely for you comfort.
