Beschreibung
The Mercedes-Benz SLK has become synonymous with dynamic design, exciting performance, technical perfection, and thanks to the innovative vario roof, everyday practicality. It was released in 1996 and had since been built at the Mercedes plant in Bremen, Germany, until the end of production in 2020. The former name "SLK" was derived from sportlich (sporty), leicht (lightweight), and kurz (short). With the release of the facelift R172 in 2016, the SLK-Class was renamed to SLC-Class in accordance with the revised nomenclature adopted by Mercedes. Under this scheme, roadsters use the base name "SL", followed by the model's placement in Mercedes-Benz hierarchy, the letter "C", being the roadster equivalent to the C-Class.
The R170 Mercedes SLK was the first-generation compact roadster produced by Mercedes-Benz, from 1996 to 2004. It was designed from late 1991 under Bruno Sacco, with a final design being completed in early 1993 and approved by the board, with a German design patent filed on September 30, 1993. The production SLK-Class was introduced at the Turin Motor Show on 22 April 1996, appearing as a modern incarnation of the 1950s Mercedes-Benz 190SL, by returning to four cylinders and with an identical 94-inch (2, 400 mm) wheelbase. A facelift was introduced to all models in 2000, featuring an updated design and updated engines.
Our wonderful example has only covered 14, 005 miles from new and is presented in like-new condition.
