Type of success and trendsetter for open automobiles
The Mercedes Benz SLK class is the world-wide most successful model of this market segment. With the steel Variodach, which combines the advantages of a firm Hardtops with those of a folding deck, the sports car was 1996 trendsetters of a new generation of open automobiles. Ten years after their world premiere in the SLK took over many car manufacturers this innovative roof technology for their Cabriolets and roadster.
The new SLK class, which appeared in March 2004, stresses its sporty character still more clearly and sets again with trailblazing technology trend. Beside a further developed Variodach, which opens still faster and less place in the trunk stressed, the new head space heating celebrated AIRSCARF world premiere in the Mercedes sports car. It works like an invisible scarf, which warms head, neck and neck. Thus the SLK class guarantees open driving fun also in the cold season: Owing to AIRSCARF SLK owners can drive longer and more frequently openly.
With a portion of on the average 30 per cent the SLK class is world market leader. In Germany and other countries of Western Europe approximately each second newly certified sports car of this fahrzeugklasse carries the contraction SLK. Altogether Mercedes Benz produced approximately 465,000 SLK models since 1996 so far.
