Mercedes SLK Review
Car Summary
The exclusive Mercedes SLK expresses sportiness and athletic ability. Featuring a long bonnet, short overhangs and AMG front and rear aprons, the SLK Roadster exudes power and performance, with striking muscular looks and a strong road presence. You’ll find unparallelled dynamism and agility thanks to AMG sport suspension, and its sporting credentials are emphasised by two chrome-plated, oval twin exhausts and 18” AMG 5-spoke alloy wheels.
Hiring a Mercedes SLK rewards you with a brilliant drive in one of the most desirable open-top sports cars on the road.
An incredible 5.5 litre V8 engine produces a mighty 421 bhp and 540 Nm of torque, and is mated to an impressive AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic automatic transmission. A range of driver assist programmes ensure excellent handling and safety, including Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive to actively support the driver, and a Direct-Steer system that allows precise steering via the AMG Performance Steering wheel.
An AMG high performance braking system helps to control the immense power of the SLK, and the ergonomic AMG sports seats ensure maximum comfort for driver and passenger at high speeds.
The meticulously crafted interior includes the highest quality Fine Nappa leather upholstery and a ‘Chequered Flag’ instrument cluster creates an additional sporting feel. Climate control, heated seating, COMAND online multimedia system and surround sound ensure maximum comfort in the cabin, and once you activate the retractable hard top you’ll appreciate the aerodynamic features that reduce draught and allow you to listen to the incredible roar of the V8 engine in comfort.
Enjoy the ultimate open-air driving experience in a brilliant high performance Mercedes roadster.
Reviews“Bellowing out from the quartet of exhaust pipes, there’s a thunderous roar from the V8 as the rear tyres battle to hook into the tarmac and get you on your way.”
The Mercedes SLK has a powerful 5.5-litre V8 petrol engine that makes 416 bhp and 540 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm, pushing 0-100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. The seven-speed automatic gearbox can be operated in a trio of modes, with Comfort for lazier gear changes and a serene driving experience, Sport to sharpen things up and Manual, which allows the driver to change gear via the paddles mounted behind the steering wheel. But the best thing is the noise and the ‘distinctive roar which at times sounds quite ludicrously loud. It really makes you grin, and is very much what this car is all about’
“Mercedes tuning arm AMG is renowned for shoehorning large engines into small cars, and it’s worked its magic again with the SLK Roadster”
With a short behind and long nose, the Mercedes SLK has a classic roadster look. The AMG body styling gives contributes a more aggressive stance and the 5.5L V8 engine plays an outstanding AMG soundtrack through quad exhausts. The drive is refined with the top up, and the folding hardtop is quick to operate. The interior is comfortable and finished to the highest quality, and while it is not cheap, it is worth it as the best SLK on sale.
