The third generation in the SLK series, this new SLK 350 has finally got the look which it was striving for since its first launch in the year 1997. It has come out of the category of trophy car for the wives. The sporty, light and comfortable car design did not fail to impress media. The car’s history started with criticism for its interiors for being small and it has more cuteness than machismo. Maturity comes with age and this is quite evident in our SLK 350.To come out of that cute label, it has reworked on its designing and it is looking better and smarter. It has finally been able to meet the challenge of sports car.
The speed and engine specifications
With the maximum time of 5.4 seconds, the car SLK 350instantly picks up from no speed to the speed of 60 and then to 100. With better engine power, the pickup of the car is very good and advanced. What else to expect from the car which has engine power of 302 Horsepower with 3.6 liter V-6 engine and 273 ftlbs torque. This ignition power was what Merc fans were asking and looking for with their SLK and SLK 350 is giving that.
The three modes of the car—Eco, Sports and Manual
Driving will be some experience with SLK 350; you can drive it in three ways. The environment conscious car has eco mode for driving. You do not race and drive within the limits in the busy street roads without high emission of CO2. This is a remarkable achievement. The Eco mode is the natural driving mode, so you will have to change the mode of driving for adrenaline rush.
If you switch the driving mode of your SLK 350, it will become a sports car and will give you thrill without any chills. It will change your experience of driving car. Though it did garner some negative response in eco mode driving, but that defect of the SLK 350is efficiently covered by sports mode and the manually driven style.
Finally the sporty style which we were looking for has finally come with this series. It is slated to hit the market in the summers of next wait. The wait will be a pause in the thrill.
The look and style
Since its launch, SLK series have been a stunner and the legacy has been carried for the Mercedes Benz SLK 350. Though it no more has only feminine touch, yet it will be too much to expect to be like a monster. With its new glass style roof, it is sure going to be a great hit among the car enthusiast and the loyal customers of Merc SLK.
It has a very futuristic and contemporary space look, with retro modern interiors. The folding top of SLK 350 gives a cover from wind as it sits comfortably over the trunk. While driving with open roof, you are warmed by the warm gush of air which comes from the vent near the headrest.
If you do not drive with open roof and still want to get the feel of driving under the sky, do not forget to use SLK 350 electroluminescent top which brings opacity.
