Mercedes-Benz’s love-affair with sportscars was expanded in 1995 with the smallest roadster the marque has made in its history – the SLK. The first-generation R170 brought a folding-hard top – dubbed the ‘Vario-Roof’ by Mercedes – at a time when most roadsters were being phased out, and those that weren’t, were offered with traditional a canvas roof. It quickly proved a success for Mercedes, pipping the likes of Porsche, Audi, and BMW in the executive roadster market. The first-generation was offered with a four-cylinder or V6 petrol engine – both either supercharged or naturally aspirated - and either five- or six-speed manual or five-speed automatic gearbox. The R171 second-generation model arrived in 2004, offered with a supercharged four-cylinder engine, or V6 and V8 units. A faster folding time, and more compact folded proportions for the roof were brought in for the second-generation, and optional features included ‘AirScarf’ neck heaters, and remote operation of the folding roof. A facelift came along in 2008, with revised front bumper, LED lighting, improved interior design, and tweaked steering system. It was replaced in 2011, by the third-generation R172 SLK – and later SLC – lasting until 2020 when the model range was cut from the portfolio.
