Mercedes-Benz SLK250 dimensions

For the first time, Mercedes-Benz is product the sporty SLK Roadster with a diesel motor. The 150 Kw (204 hp) four-cylinder performance unit puts the two-seater at the top of its class in numerous respects. With a fuel consumption of 4. 9 litres per 100 kilometres, it is the most economical roadster in its segment. due to its enormous torque of 500 newton metres it accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 6. 7 seconds, and provides a top figure for acceleration from 80 to 120 km/h. The result is superior driving enjoyment both on winding country roads and on long motorway stretches. Like the other models in the latest SLK family, which was introduced in January 2011, it features lively sportiness with luxury attributes and impressive convenience.

Diesel drive and roadster excitement do not go together - or so a common misconception would have it. Mercedes-Benz impressively demonstrates the contrary with the new Mercedes-Benz SLK250 CDI. Its four-cylinder diesel motor with a displacement of 2143 cc generates an output of 150 Kw (204 hp) and 500 newton metres of torque - as much as a petrol motor with twice the displacement would normally generate. This makes the new Mercedes-Benz SLK250 CDI the most comprehensive diesel model in its class, and gives the roadster the potential for extremely sporty performance.

Equipped with the traditional 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission (a six-speed manual transmission will follow in the second quarter of 2012), the diesel SLK sprints from zero to 100km/h in 6. 7 seconds and achieves a top speed of 243 km/h. Moreover, the flexibility of the Mercedes-Benz SLK250 CDI is nothing short of phenomenal. due to its enormous diesel torque it accelerates from 80 to 120 km/h in just 4. 3 seconds - easily the best figure in this class, making for secure and effortless overtaking.
