The development and testing of the new SLK - Mercedes-Benz original

From the initial vision to the final production model: watch the development and testing of the new SLK here. Under the body of the new roadster a gigantic effort has been undertaken, intense engineering work, including several years of test runs. Freezing cold, scorching heat and long-term stress tests -- are only three of the many hurdles to overcome to bring the SLK into series production.

Fantastico, MB SLK um misto de sofisticação e simplicidade, um sonho de consumo para pessoas de bom gosto. Mercedes Benz, sinônimo de tecnologia, segurança e conforto, aliados a uma marca que por sí só representa o melhor dos melhores em automóveis. Parabéns.

I love my SLK 2013 250 CDI
Thank you Mercedes-Benz!

[@jimihendrix1575]

I own an SLK55 AMG with the hand built V8. It's my 4th Benz, and my 2nd SLK, but my first AMG. She is an absolute MONSTER.

[@devil5057]

Ach Leute es ist einfach Schade das ihr keine mehr baut. SLC and thats it..... Ich bin froh noch einen aus 1 Hand erwischt zu haben. Die Reihe ist damit komplett R170 R171 und nun der R172.

Maybe should have spent more than 5 minutes on rust protection.

i love my slk 250 amg

[@shakirlegrand]

Una pena que ya no hay nuevo modelo de esta serie de mercedes 😌

[@CrazyJohnLe]

They should have spent more time on the Timing Chain + Cam Shaft Tensioner Issue

[@stevejones1318]

MB didn't test the hydraulic roof cylinders or the cam chain gears very well. They are common failures. MB should focus more on engine reliability and keeping things simple, rather than how the car performs in sub zero and above 40°C temps... where, let's face it, very few roadsters are driven.

Lindos autos

[@Jeff-mn5rz]

The best they can do is 20min under heavy rain. And it started leaking

[@ukwan]

@Jeff that's appalling, my R170 is 22 years old and it's never leaked.. I'd be having a word with Mercedes about that!

[@hendrickliauw5492]

The best or nothing
That why I buy this car

[@IzanaHaile-e5k]

If my car was built like this, why drive anything else

[@manishanmugam8171]

BENZ ALWAYS ROKING

[@curtisducati]
