Mercedes' Birthday Present

2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK Roadster

A couple days ago, Mercedes-Benz celebrated its 125th birthday. As a birthday present, today, the company officially pulled back the covers of the all new SLK Roadster at the museum in Stuttgart, Germany. As you can see, this is a very good looking car, due to the fact the most of the design was taken from the SLS AMG. When it comes out this summer, you'll have a choice of two models: the SLK350 with a 3.5-liter 302 horsepower V6 engine, or the SLK250 with a 1.8-liter 201 horsepower turbo-4 engine, but that one will come at a later time. One of the biggest accomplishments with this car is the all new Magic Sky Control System in which changes the color of the clear glass roof when you're driving along. Prices have not been announced yet, but they might be at Geneva, in which the car will make its global debut.
