SLK-Class is a compact luxury roadster manufactured by Daimler-Benz
in three generations; R170 launched in 1996, the R171 in 2004 and
R172 in 2011. Mercedes presented the SLK II concept car at the 1994
Paris Motor Show, showing off the "vario-roof". The car went on
sale two years later in Europe, and in 1997 in the US. The SLK is
built in Bremen, Germany. The former designation "SLK" derives from
the company's design mission to create a roadster that was at once
sporty, light and short�in German: sportlich (sporty), leicht
(light) und kurz (short). The R170 Mercedes SLK was the first
generation compact roadster produced by Mercedes-Benz, from 1996 to
2004. It was designed from late 1991 under Bruno Sacco, with a
final design being completed in early 1993 and approved by the
board, with a German design patent filed on September 30, 1993.The
production SLK-Class was introduced at the Turin Motor Show on
April 22, 1996, appearing as a modern incarnation of the 1950s
Mercedes-Benz 190SL, by returning to four cylinders and with an
identical 94-inch (2,400 mm) wheelbase. A facelift was introduced
to all models in 2000, featuring an updated design and the
introduction of the SLK320. Concept History: Daimler-Benz wanted to
market a new retractable hardtop system they called the
"Vario-Roof". first shown on the SLK II concept car at the 1994
Paris Motor Show. The car went on sale two years later in Europe
and in 1997 in the US. The Vario-Roof is a hard roof that can fold
down into the car by means of an electrohydraulic system, thus
transforming the car from coup� to cabriolet. As one of the first
modern retractable hardtop convertibles, the SLK joined others of
this era including the 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT Spyder, the Peugeot
306 Cabriolet, the Lexus SC, the Pontiac G6, and the Chrysler
Sebring. Front Air Conditioning, Front Air Conditioning - Automatic
