2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK Class redesign in 2004 gave the SLK a body that put it more in line with the current SL. Front- and rear-end styling is sculpted, and is much more aggressive and mature than the first generation model.
The SLK Mercedes-Benz is an ideal, small, reasonably priced car. The SLK is very much like the Mercedes-Benz SL, but the SL is larger. The SLK seats two passengers, and it has a hardtop, retractable roof. Launched in the late 1990s, the SLK was engineered as a competitor to the BMW Z3 and the Porsche Boxster. Later, the Z3 was replaced by the Z4, and the Cayman was Porsche's Boxster update. The TT coupe/convertible was introduced by Audi as well.
In 2009, the SLK got new wheels and a new nose. Three models were offered in 2009: the SLK300, the 350, and the 55 AM. The SLK is offered with a manual tranny, a feature it shares with the SL. The vehicle also has a 3.5 Liter engine that has been improved so it offers an additional 32 horsepower and 7 foot-pounds of torque.
Faced with growing competition, Mercedes-Benz introduced the second generation of the SLK with improved body lines, new engines, and a body that was longer and heavier than its predecessors. Now, these characteristics remain in current models
