Mercedes-Benz SLK Denver - Mercedes-Benz of Littleton - SLK Denver
The Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class automobiles receive their fair share of attention and then some in Denver, Colorado. “Introduced nearly a decade ago as an answer to its European rivals in the luxury small roadster segment, the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class was the first vehicle to truly popularize the use of a power-retractable convertible top made out of steel panels rather than the more traditional fabric soft top,” this according to Edmunds.com. Quoting further, “though more complex and bulky, a convertible hardtop design, with its coupe-like profile and superior wind and weather protection, does provide significant advantages in the top-up position. Offering more security, as well as a quieter cabin than its competitors’ soft tops, the SLK could convert from a closed coupe to an open convertible without leaving the driver seat.”
From the official Mercedes-Benz literature, “The redesigned 2009 SLK-Class inspires great passions even while standing still. A more aggressive front bumper, new grille, and new diffuser-style rear apron speak volumes about its Formula 1 heritage. Under the hood is a choice of engines so advanced in their tuning, they can deliver nearly their full power at low rpms, assuring rocket-like acceleration. The retractable hardtop signals pure exhilaration, converting the SLK-Class from coupe to convertible in 22 silent, near-magical seconds.”
