7.0 seconds, and achieves a top speed of 237 km/h (240 km/h with manualtransmission).Page 6The SLK 250 BlueEFFICIENCY is initially equipped with the 7G-TRONIC PLUSautomatic transmission (a six-speed manual transmission will becomeavailable at a later date) and consumes only 6.2 litres (NEDC, combined)per 100 kilometres (144 g of CO 2 per kilometre). From standstill it reaches100 km/h in 6.6 seconds, and it has a top speed of 243 km/h.The V6 engine in the SLK 350 BlueEFFICIENCY generates 225 kW (306 hp)from its 3498 cubic-centimetre displacement, using this power to acceleratefrom 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds (top speed 250 km/h). Its consumption is7.1 litres (NEDC, combined) per 100 kilometres (167 g of CO 2 per kilometre).The V6 engine has been completely newly developed. Its most importanthallmarks are 3 rd -generation direct injection, piezo injectors and multi-sparkignition.The exemplary efficiency, with fuel consumption reduced by up to a quartercompared to the preceding model, is also due to the ECO start/stop systemwhich is fitted as part of the standard specification in all models.Suspension for the closest connection to the roadThere are also three suspension versions to choose from:• A conventional steel suspension comes as standard• A sports suspension with harder springs and dampers ensures asystematically sporty driving experience• As an alternative a Dynamic Handling package is available. Thisincludes an electronically controlled, fully automatic damping system.This means that the vehicle has excellent suspension comfort even onpoor road surfaces, but still offers high driving dynamicsAlso included in the Dynamic Handling package are a Direct-Steer system andthe Torque Vectoring Brakes developed by Mercedes-Benz. The Direct-Steersystem offers more handling and agility than the standard steering, whilst alsoreducing the amount of physical effort required when parking. In criticalconditions the Torque Vectoring Brakes produce a defined rotational movementof the vehicle about the vertical axis in fractions of seconds through selectivebrake actuation at the rear wheel on the inside of the bend. This results in theDaimler Communications, 70546 Stuttgart/GermanyMercedes-Benz – A Daimler Brand
SLK stabilising without any compromises where dynamism is concerned, andit steers into the bend precisely and under full control.Page 7Ingenious material mix and high levels of safetyThe new SLK’s bodyshell structure has been further refined, with the bonnetand wings now made of aluminium. The new Mercedes-Benz SLK also sets newbenchmarks in terms of safety. The third generation of the powerful trendsetterwill make use of a whole host of the latest assistance systems to supportthe driver, including the drowsiness detection system ATTENTION ASSIST,developed by Mercedes-Benz and fitted as standard; the optional anticipatoryoccupant protection system PRE-SAFE ® , which is unique in the world; and thePRE-SAFE ® Brake, which can apply the brakes autonomously in the event of animpending rear-end collision. This means that with the SLK too, Mercedes-Benzis consistently and significantly exceeding the requirements imposed by safetystandards.Further assistance systems are available on request:• DISTRONIC PLUS: this proximity control system automaticallymaintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead, braking the roadsterto a standstill if necessary and accelerating the SLK again.• The Intelligent Light System provides five lighting functions (corneringlight function, country mode, motorway mode, active light function andenhanced fog lamps), which are activated depending on the drivingconditions• Speed Limit Assist is able to detect speed limit signs using a camera onthe inside of the windscreen, and indicate the detected speed limit inthe instrument cluster or central display.The market launch date for the SLK is 26 March 2011.
