Mercedes-Benz SLK
Since the redesign last year, Mercedes-Benz offers the SLK-Class with a turbocharged 1.8 litre “four”, making 201 hp in the SLK250, and teamed up with the brand’s only manual. The 7-speed automatic is optional, but standard across the rest of the range: SLK350 (302 hp 3.5 l V6) and SLK55 AMG (415 hp 5.5 l V8), this one new for 2013. There is no 4Matic option for the SLK-Class, but the rigid convertible roof is available with the “Magic Sky” glass insert.
