Smaller and especially more affordable, the SLK offers the SL-Class lines. The engine choice is also more modest, with two V6s and a V8 engine for the AMG version. It boasts solid assembly, a rigid chassis, and much improved performances over the previous models. The SLK converts into a coupe with its retractable hardtop roof. There are rumours about a complete redesign of the small Mercedes roadster for 2011.
