2015 SLK- Class

Unchart a course. SLK 250. Take the reins of 201 turbo-fed horses with a short-throw 6-speed manual or paddle-shifted 7-speed automatic. Take curves in stride with staggered 17" wheels and a sport-tuned suspension. And take in the sky with a standard power-retractable Panorama roof.

SLK 350. A 302-hp V-6 can turn sunshine into a 60-mph breeze in 5.4 seconds.1 Its 18" wheels and AMG body styling turn heads whenever you pass by. Its heated seats and AIRSCARF® neck-level heating system can turn a cool evening into the perfect time for a top-down drive.

SLK 55 AMG. A handcrafted 415-hp V-8 is as invigorating as it is refreshing. A team of performance breakthroughs can whisk you from 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds — yet return up to 28 highway mpg.2 An AMG Handling Package lets you elevate its performance till it’s almost off the charts.

When your everyday routines start to box you in, open up an SLK roadster. Nothing sets you free like a sports car — especially one that can trace its roots to history’s first checkered flag. After 121 years of racing, the thrill of winning is a Mercedes-Benz ritual. And it’s why the thrill of driving an SLK will never feel routine.

When a Daimler-powered car won history’s first official auto race, it marked not the completion of a mission but its commencement. Mercedes -Benz sports cars have kept on racing ahead ever since. Countless innovations in power, handling and aerodynamics add up to one neverending pursuit: to advance the pure joy of driving.

It started on the finish line.

Deep within every Mercedes-Benz roadster is a tradition of being breathtaking. Its heritage may extend back to the very origins of motorsports, but it’s really one of reaching farther ahead, faster with every lap, and of having more fun along the way. Even in the seriousness of Formula 1,® where an SLK has paced countless races as its official Safety Car, the joys of performance are undeniable and tangible. In racing, however, each finish line is the starting point of what’s next.

What Mercedes-Benz engineers have learned in competition can be found not just in the free-revving, pavement-clinging responsiveness of an SLK. It’s also evident in its highly rigid body, and the protective nature of its safety systems—many of which made their sports-car debut under the Three-Pointed Star. It’s most apparent, however, in the way the passion for open-air driving endures at Mercedes-Benz—even under the increasing demands of progress. Actually, because of them.

From the roofless yet record-setting racecars of the 1910s to the the iconic midcentury SL, what has always defined a Mercedes-Benz roadster — or racecar — are the bonds that instantly form: between driver and car, car and road, road and sky, and all of you in harmony as one. It’s what each precisely tailored detail of the SLK’s two-seat cockpit has in common with every move of its agile chassis: the ability to transcend time, and touch your soul, like no other roadster.

Back when some sports cars didn’t even have glass side windows, the SLK’s forefather offered both an elegantly tailored soft top and a stylish detachable hardtop. The SLK’s signature power top is the ongoing evolution of two core Mercedes-Benz beliefs: Truly great design is always in style. And a true sports car is always in season.

It made the hardtop easy.

When the first SLK debuted nearly 20 years ago, it brought the convertible top into a new modern age. At the time, it was the only car in production factory-engineered with a power retractable hardtop, but it started a trend that swept the industry. Today, while there are countless conceptually similar roofs on the market, the 3rd-generation SLK hardtop continues to lead the way with its sleek design, its smooth and swift operation, and its two see-through configurations.

The SLK’s heated glass rear window somersaults as the top is lowered beneath the double-hinged trunklid. The result is a space-efficient nesting of its components, preserving more than 60% of the cargo space. It also creates a trunk whose proportions are elegant on the outside, and generous on the inside. But the litmus test of any roadster’s design is whether its style vanishes the moment its top comes into view. Few roadsters transform into a coupe as seamlessly as an SLK.

In profile, the SLK’s muscular shoulders are free of unsightly shut lines, for a clean look whether the top is up or down. It takes less than 20 seconds to raise or lower the roof — from a console switch or remotely from outside. 3 And even with the power hardtop up, you can still take in the sky. The standard Panorama roof integrates a lightweight tinted see-through panel. The optional MAGIC SKY CONTROL® lets you darken its glass panel electrically — a Mercedes-Benz exclusive.

When it comes to enduring performance, Mercedes-Benz has a long record of over-delivering on both potential and passion. Unlike promises and hearts, however, speed records are something everyone tries to break. In 1954’s Mille Miglia, legendary driver Stirling Moss and his equally iconic 300 SLR racecar achieved more than a racing win. Averaging 98.5 mph, they set a 10-hour, 7-minute, 48-second course record that still stands. It’s a fitting symbol of something else that’s never been broken: The promise within every Mercedes-Benz sports car to win hearts as passionately as it does races.

Promises, hearts, and once in a while, a world record.

SLK 350 shown with optional Lunar Blue metallic paint, Sahara Beige leather, KEYLESS-GO, and Lighting Package.

There’s far more to the performance data of the SLK than a list of numbers. The data behind the data tells an even richer story. Consider the 0–60 figure for any SLK. It couldn’t happen without high-pressure Direct Injection reaching 2,900 psi — so it can squeeze more power from each atom of fuel. It’s cleaner and stronger because the multispark ignition can fire each spark plug a second, third or even fourth time — all in a single millisecond — for more effective combustion. In the SLK 250, you get instant, lag-free torque from a turbo that spools up to 150,000 rpm with lightning speed. And because every SLK’s rear wheels are an inch wider than the fronts, its driven tires can better turn traction into acceleration. Which brings us back to go. The SLK is a network of precise elements, intricately woven to create something greater than data. It’s a complex collaboration with a delightfully simple result, whether you’re unleashing its eager revs, untangling a tight curve, or just unwinding from a hectic day.

More than the sum, and then some.

Light heavyweight. Compact in size and light in weight, the 201-hp inline-4 in the SLK 250 delivers a big punch from just 1.8 liters of size. With a quick-spooling intercooled turbo, high-pressure Direct Injection and rapid-multispark ignition, it puts all of its 229 lb-ft of peak torque on tap from 2,200 to 4,300 rpm. The result is immediate throttle response in almost any situation, along with an impressive sense of responsibility. Or to put that in numbers: 0 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds,1 and up to 33 mpg on the highway.2

Precision powerhouse. The 3.5-liter V-6 under the SLK 350 hood enlists a team of powerful advances to convert a trickle of fuel into a torrent of torque. The Direct Injection’s ultrafine yet highly pressurized fuel spray and multispark ignition team up to generate ferocious power in a manner that’s both leaner and greener. With 302 hp and 273 lb-ft of peak torque, the SLK 350 can rush to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds, yet return up to 29 mpg on the open highway.

Idle smarter. While you’re waiting for a light to change or for traffic to get going, an ECO Start/Stop system on the SLK 350 can automatically shut off its engine, helping save fuel and reduce overall emissions. An illuminated “A” symbol lets you know when the engine is paused. When you’re ready to go, the V-6 automatically fires back to life as you lift your foot from the brake, or the instant you press the accelerator.

Mood changer. Sports-car purists will appreciate the 6-speed manual gearbox that’s standard on the SLK 250. Its short throws and precise action make every shift as invigorating as the free-revving response that results. That said, opting for the 7-speed automatic — standard on the SLK 350 — takes nothing away from the roadster experience. It continually adapts its shift points to your driving style, and offers pushbutton Sport, ECO and Manual settings. Shift paddles on the steering wheel put gear changes at your fingertips, including full manual control even in Sport and ECO modes — simply by using the paddles. Automatic shifting resumes a few seconds after you let go — but if you’re in the process of taking a curve, it’ll wait until you exit.

Curve appeal. The 4-wheel multilink suspension is tuned to take advantage of the precision inherent in the SLK’s highly rigid body. The result is an ideal balance of quick handling and a composed ride. An available Dynamic Handling Package adds electronically controlled damping that adapts each shock absorber instantly to the driving conditions. Its pushbutton Sport mode sharpens the damping rates further. Standard speed-sensing power steering is augmented with Direct-steer, an innovation that varies the steering ratio to how far you’ve turned the wheel. It gives you quicker response in corners, crisper on-center feel, inspiring straight-line stability at higher speeds, and even easier effort in parking maneuvers.

Corner control. On every SLK roadster, the front and rear wheels are sized to optimize their specific benefits. Wider rear wheels and tires can transfer torque to the tarmac more effectively, while the front wheels are sized for more precise steering feel and feedback. In addition to the standard 17" alloys (SLK 250) or 18" wheels (SLK 350), two 18" options for both models include an iconic AMG® 5-spoke design in the Sport Package.4

Uncommon bond.For 47 years, AMG has been creating championship racecars and thoroughbreds for the street. Every trophy earned, and each lesson learned, has shared the same starting line: an engine crafted by the hands of its own master. “One man, one engine” is more than a guiding philosophy — it’s a pedigree of performance that’s evident throughout the car. And it’s a promise made during the rigors of competition that every Mercedes-AMG fulfills even in the routine of a daily commute. Is it a racecar for the road? No. It’s an automobile that can conduct itself with absolute authority in any arena of driving.

SLK 55 AMG. It’s crafted in the AMG tradition by a single pair of skilled hands. And yet the 5.5‑liter V‑8 of the SLK 55 is a technological masterpiece, too. Its 415 hp and 398 lb‑ft of torque can thrust you to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.1 Yet its breathtaking power output comes with easy‑breathing benefits like ultralow emissions and up to 28 highway mpg.2 With light weight and low friction, the Direct Injection V‑8 revs freely, for lightning‑quick response across a wide range. Its ECO Start/Stop and AMG Cylinder Management can shut off four of its cylinders — or even all eight — when they’re not needed, then reignite them in 30 milliseconds.

Modes for many moods. The 7‑speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT® PLUS transmission offers three driving programs, including a Sport mode with raised shift points. In Manual mode, aluminum shift paddles command expertly rev‑matched downshifts. Mellow in relaxed cruising, the AMG Sport exhaust awakens with a growl at startup, and unleashes a snarling crescendo under acceleration and during gear changes.

AMG-developed chassis. Torque Vectoring Brake boosts control and confidence, further empowering the 3‑stage ESP® by assisting the car’s rotation in corners. Staggered 18" AMG 5‑spoke wheels4 offer an enticing peek at the AMG brake hardware. All this capability is delivered to the driver’s hands via an AMG Sport steering wheel whose Nappa leather rim features flattened top and bottom sections.

Track-tuned. The AMG Handling Package revs up the racing‑bred character of the SLK 55 even higher. It adds a limited‑slip differential, unleashes the top speed to 174 mph,5 and lets the driver rein it in with an AMG Performance steering wheel featuring DINAMICA side grips. At the package’s core, the AMG Performance suspension’s sharper calibration is expressed via AMG multispoke wheels in your choice of sleek Silver or menacing Matte Black finishes.

Unfazed in the face of adversity.To racing fans, the car that commands the most attention on the track is the only one that cannot capture the checkered flag. Called the pace car in the U.S., it’s known as the Safety Car in Europe, where Formula 1® fans are accustomed to seeing a Mercedes-Benz pacing each race. For years, the SLK served in this position of authority, and with good reason: It pairs the unflinching reflexes to hold its own on a live track, with an unwavering devotion to safety that’s set countless standards for every sports car on the road. Since the dawn of motorsports, a who’s who of legendary drivers has raced to victory behind the Three-Pointed Star. When it comes to facing the challenges of safer driving, the SLK is a what’s what.

Go with the flow, slow with the flow.Available DISTRONIC PLUS® uses radar to adapt your set cruising speed in response to the flow of traffic ahead. It can slow your SLK automatically — or brake it all the way to a stop — then resume when traffic clears with a tap.7 Even if you’re not using the cruise control, PRE-SAFE® Brake can audibly alert you to stopped traffic in front of you, and automatically apply up to 100% of the car’s braking force, to help prevent a rear-end collision or reduce its severity.8

Lane Keeping Assist. Using a camera to monitor visible lane markings, this option can alert

you by vibrating the steering wheel if you start to drift out of

your lane without signaling.9

A watchful eye when’s it time for a rest. ATTENTION ASSIST® is a Mercedes -Benz innovation that can alert you if it detects signs of drowsiness on long drives. It measures more than 70 variables, starting in the first minutes of a drive, to establish a pattern. By continually monitoring a variety of driving behaviors along your trip, it can offer a warning tone and encourage taking a rest if it senses you’re getting drowsy.9

Eyes to your sides. No matter how carefully you adjust your mirrors and check over your shoulders before changing lanes, you can’t control the actions of other drivers. When the sensors of the available Blind Spot Assist detect a vehicle to either side of your SLK, an icon illuminates in the appropriate side mirror to alert you. If you signal for a lane change while the alert is active, the icon flashes and a warning tone sounds.10

A convertible with conviction. Engineered from road to sky as a convertible, the SLK delivers renowned Mercedes-Benz body rigidity without excessive weight. Its advanced materials include ultrahigh-strength steel reinforcements, a magnesium hardtop frame, and aluminum for the front fenders and the hood. Eight air bags include head-level air bags designed to offer protection even with the top and windows lowered.11

Dual roll bars. Made of fiber-reinforced micro-alloy tubular steel, the twin roll bars are affixed to the car’s rigid rear bulkhead, to help preserve the occupant space in a rollover. High-strength steel also fortifies the windshield’s framing.6

Predictive Brake Priming. Part of a pioneering suite of adaptive braking technologies prepares the SLK’s brakes for quicker response before you even reach the brake pedal. If you lift off the accelerator quickly, it precharges the pads, setting them closer to the discs.8

Sometimes you wish a moment just didn’t have to end. Even as an adult, it brings back that childhood memory when dinnertime came way before you were ready to stop playing — even though the daylight had long given way to dusk. There’s a magic in the SLK that can turn “aww” into “ahh.” As night falls, it can offer a virtual scarf, so you can stay out later. When the top goes up, you can still ride under a canopy of stars. If you’ve never stopped dreaming of a Mercedes-Benz sports car, an SLK is endless fun.

Summer, playtime,  and your favorite road.

SLK 350 shown with Mars Red paint, Black leather, and optional AIRGUIDE windstops, dashtop analog clock,

PARKTRONIC, and Multimedia and Sport Packages.

Prevail over the wind.Long after most other convertibles have gone into hibernation, you can still be enjoying your SLK in its most openly exuberant state. With its season-extending innovations, you can take in the aroma of autumn leaves, the romance of a harvest moon, or the first chirping birds of spring. It wants you to enjoy everything under the summer sun — anytime.

AIRSCARF.® Ceramic heating elements and speed-dependent fans in each seat envelop your neck, head and shoulders in warmed air, like a virtual scarf.3

Year-round comfort. Heated seats3 offer soothing warmth in winter. In summer, the

leather3 or Nappa leather12 upholstery is specially treated to reflect sunlight, helping keep the seat surfaces cooler to the touch.

SLK 250 shown with optional Two-tone Brown/ Black Nappa leather, and Premium Package. Please see endnotes at back of brochure.

Wind tamers. A rigid mesh screen snaps into position between the dual roll bars to calm drafts in the cabin while preserving your rear vision. It’s also easy to remove and stow neatly in the trunk. The optional AIRGUIDE® windstops replace the screen with see-through wind guards. Mounted to each of the roll bars, they’re easy to reach and manually pivot into place.

Unlimit your exposure.An open road, and an open roadster. Is there a better excuse to sneak away for a day? No matter how you explain your absence to your office, the SLK has your agenda covered, even as you bask in the sunshine. From a continuous playlist to a spontaneous lunch stop, it can make any outing feel like endless summer.

Ensconcing comfort. Embracing sport seats each feature 8-way power adjustment, a 3-position memory, and 4-way power lumbar supports. The driver-seat memory stores the steering column and side-mirror settings, too. In addition to seat heating,3 AIRSCARF® can envelop your shoulders and neck in warmed air.3 The standard Panorama roof includes a heat-rejecting tinted overhead panel. Or opt for MAGIC SKY CONTROL® and you can darken the roof at the touch of a button. Its innovative glass panel is embedded with magnetic particles that are normally scattered, blocking light. When current is applied, they line up to let light pass.

Enchanting style. Aluminum trim adds sleek highlights to the cockpit controls, gauges, air vents and dual roll bars, as well as the console and doors. Hand-polished wood trim is a stylish option, in dramatic Black Ash or classic Burl Walnut — or you can add genuine carbon fiber to the SLK 55 AMG. The seats and door armrests are impeccably topstitched with contrasting thread, and their upholstery is fitted by hand. Special sun-reflecting treatment of the supple, richly grained leather3 or the smooth, even softer Nappa leather12 helps them stay cooler and last longer under the sun’s harsh rays.

Easy connections. The 3-spoke steering wheel features a flat-bottom design and Nappa leather trim. Shift paddles are placed within easy reach of the wheel’s perforated side grips. So are its multifunction buttons, which team with the central controller on the console to unify all your options in entertainment, navigation, information and vehicle settings. Crisp gauges and two color screens — a standard 5.8" central display plus an illustrated multifunction readout right in front

of the driver — remain sharp even when the top is down. For a sporty final touch, a dashtop analog clock is also available.

Endless entertainment. Standard Bluetooth® lets you make phone calls hands-free, and stream digital music wire-free.13 Standard audio gear includes HD Radio™ stations, a USB port, and a CD player. Nationwide SiriusXM Radio3 comes with a 6-month All Access plan trial, so you can also listen on your smartphone and tablet.14 A Media Interface3 links your iPod® or other MP3 device with the car’s displays and controls.15 An available harman/kardon LOGIC7® system3 immerses you in 500 watts of surround sound. The Multimedia Package adds a 10GB in-dash Music Register for storing your digital music files, an SD card reader, and Dolby® Digital 5.1 sound. And with the Mercedes-Benz Apps Package16 of mbrace,® you can enjoy thousands of global Internet radio stations via TuneIn.®

Everyday convenience. The Multimedia Package also brings you COMAND® navigation17 with a big 7" screen, a fast 80GB hard drive, and 3D maps with building profiles. Map updates are provided at no charge for three years. Its advanced voice control can learn your natural way of speaking. Three years of SiriusXM Traffic and Weather are also included, offering real-time automatic rerouting around traffic jams.14 And the Cloud-based apps of mbrace bring the Internet to your SLK, so you can easily search destinations from your car, laptop or smartphone, and be on your way with just a few clicks.16 After you park, the SmartKey remote can raise and lower the hardtop, from the outside.3 Optional KEYLESS-GO® lets you unlock and drive your SLK while the key stays in your pocket.

1 Stated rates of acceleration are estimated based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load.

2 2015 EPA estimated fuel economy for SLK 250 and SLK 350. SLK 55 AMG figures are preliminary, based on 2014 estimates. Please see your dealer. Compare the estimated mpg to the estimated mpg of other vehicles. You may get different mileage depending on how fast you drive, weather conditions and trip length. Your actual highway mileage will probably be less than the highway estimate.

3 Optional on SLK 250. See Options and Packages charts for more information.4 Lower aspect ratio tires and accompanying wheels provide substantially increased treadwear, increased tire noise and reduced ride comfort.

Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or upon encountering road debris or obstacles. These tires are not designed for use on snow and ice. Winter tires mounted on appropriately sized and approved wheels are recommended for driving in those conditions.

5 Obey local speed and traffic laws.6 The roll bar system is designed to enhance the level of rollover protection compared to a vehicle without one. No system, regardless of how

advanced, can eliminate the chance of injury in an accident. Please always wear your seat belt.7 DISTRONIC PLUS® adaptive cruise control is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does not adapt cruising speed in response to stationary

objects, nor does it predict the curvature and lane layout of the road ahead or the movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility at

all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the DISTRONIC Proximity Warning System before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely.

8 Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.9 Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST® and/or Lane Keeping Assist may be insufficient to

alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury. Lane Keeping Assist operates at speeds above approximately 20 mph.

10 Blind Spot Assist may not be sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of approaching vehicles. It must not be used as a sole substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions.

11 WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE 13. SEE OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS.

12 Standard on SLK 55 AMG, optional on SLK 250 and SLK 350.13 Bluetooth® interface does not provide phone charging or external antenna. Voice interactivity feature is dependent on selected handset. Visit

The personal rewards of striving to be the best are even more meaningful in the development of young people than they are for automobiles. Instilling the values of leadership, goal-setting, discipline and teamwork in youth is an investment in everyone’s future. It’s why Mercedes-Benz USA is collaborating with the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, with an ongoing commitment to train and place hundreds of coaches for after-school and in-school sports programs in communities around the country. Sports offer kids more than the chance to be physically active and have fun. It’s also an opportunity to have a mentor who can guide them, help them learn how to deal with major life issues, and help them grow stronger not just physically but in their character. As a Mercedes-Benz driver, you become a part of this effort to give hundreds of thousands of kids a better life today, and all of us a brighter tomorrow.
