Wow, now that is hot. MB has somehow made this already good looking car even better. Good job MB design department.

The SLK facelift looks awesome. It makes the car more aggressive - this is what I wanted a SLK to look like. Can't wait to see the data for the new 3.5 litre engine. This is going to be an awesome car.
Hehe, maybe I can persuade my Dad to make a testdrive with it, when it is released - back to SLK feeling.
Want to go to the dealer now, and see it in reality. But I have to be patient...

Looks good. But I can't tell the difference between the normal body kit and the one on the AMG besides the quad pipes.

What you're referring to is the normal SLK but with the AMG package. If you look on the bottom left of the picture it says: Optional Extras.

I like the AMG version , a lot but the last pics posted by Artist on normal SLK is a disappointment but the AMG, WoWahha

Love the AMG kit, very nice.

What a sexy little beast,absoultely gorgeous looking

Non-AMG









It was one of the prettiest cars on the road but that hasn’t stopped Mer*cedes updating its SLK. And these official pictures show what the new model looks like. With a host of cosmetic changes inside and out, extra kit and a more powerful V6, the revised two-seater is taking the fight to the Porsche Box*ster and Audi TT Roadster.

The striking drop-top gets an even more dramatic front end. It continues to mimic the look of McLaren-Mercedes’ Formula One car, while the lower bumper is split into two sections. A range of new alloy wheel designs is available, while at the rear, updated tail-lights complete the fresh look.

The convertible’s folding metal roof is carried over unchanged, but it opens to reveal a modified interior. The current model’s silver-clad centre console has been replaced by a more subtle unit with dark plastics, while there are new trim colours available. Comfort has been boosted by reshaped seats which feature new lumbar supports, while Mercedes has added an upgraded sat-nav system, which will come as standard on top-spec models.

Under the bonnet, the SLK gets a new 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine. Exact performance figures will be released closer to the car’s launch in the spring, but it’s expected to be about 10bhp more powerful than the existing 268bhp unit. It should propel the car from 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds, but will deliver improved fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions, too.

The rest of the engine range is unchanged, with the 161bhp 2.0-litre supercharged SLK 200K, 228bhp 3.0-litre V6 SLK 300 and 355bhp 5.5-litre V8-engined SLK 55 AMG all on offer. Prices will be revealed closer to the launch, but there are unlikely to be any significant increases. The range will kick off at just under £30,000. [www.autoexpress.co.uk]

Oh man I hope that "10 more hp" part for the 3.5 V6 is wrong!

Where the hell is that official press release?!?!?

The new sat nav screen look smaller than the previous version.
