  | Mercedes SLK - The quietest-running roadster. -
02-22-2006, 07:17 AM
 The standard-specification vario-roof makes the SLK sports car from Mercedes the quietest-running model in its class, the company said today. This has been proven by testing carried out in Stuttgart University's aeroacoustics wind tunnel using a revolutionary new concave mirror measurement technique. The vario-roof's ability to absorb wind noise more effectively than a soft-top roof means that, when travelling at a speed of 140 km/h, noise levels inside the SLK-Class are up to six decibels lower than in other roadster models. This is the equivalent of halving the audible sound. The vario-roof is a Mercedes invention that has granted the SLK a truly unique status amongst the sports car models in its segment since as long ago as 1996. It succeeds in combining all the benefits of a hard top with the flexibility of a soft top. The fully automated transformation from roadster to coupé takes a mere 20 seconds or so: the vario-roof flips out of the boot and arches forwards before closing over the occupants to protect them from the elements. What's more, the roof's sophisticated technology also ensures the low noise levels that soft tops are simply unable to offer and makes the SLK-Class perfectly suited to long-distance motoring too... - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER |
