Every car is created with a purpose in mind. For most, it is merely to transport you from one place to another. A sports car, however, is born to transform your spirit and shift your

state of mind. Nearly 60 years ago, Mercedes - Benz introduced a new kind of sports car — the coupe/roadster. With both a detachable hardtop and folding soft top, it was the ﬁrst

convertible whose enthusiasm no longer waned with the fading summer sun. Four decades later, the ﬁrst SLK reimagined that concept with its signature retractable hardtop, and it’s

repeatedly advanced what’s expected of a roadster ever since. For 2013, the SLK-Class reafﬁrms the purity of its purpose: To inspire a unique and intimate bond between you, the

winding road below and the blue sky above. And to demonstrate a deep affection for all three in its responsive performance, resplendent style, and respect for the environment. In

every measure of a sports car — from power to poise to passion — the SLK is engineered to transform what a roadster can be, while staying true to what it was always meant to be.

OPEN FOR PLEASURE.

An SLK wastes no time getting down to the business of driving enjoyment. In less than

20 seconds, its retractable hardtop — which comes in three varieties — whisks into the

trunk. Its three advanced Direct Injection engines — turbo-4, V-6 or AMG V-8 — respond

even more quickly. In a mere millisecond, they can tune their high- pressure fuel spray

with near-molecular precision, while rapid-multispark ignition ﬁres up to four times in

sequence. Three slick-shifting transmissions — a 6-speed manual with the turbo-4, and

two types of paddle-shifted 7-speed automatic — let you turn every rev into a revelation,

to wield more torque with less fuel and fewer emissions. As soon as you open up an SLK,

you can instantly feel the three of you — driver, car and road — becoming one.

Close-ratio. For instant response

at any rpm, both the short-throw

6-speed manual gearbox in the

SLK 250 and the driver-adaptive

7-speed automatic offer a broad

range of ideally spaced gearing.

Along with ECO and Sport modes,

a true Manual mode and paddle

shifters let you shift the 7-speed

without taking a hand from the

thick 3- spoke steering wheel.

First-rate. For more rewarding

response from its speed- sensing

power steering, the innovative

Direct- steer system varies the

steering ratio based on how far

you turn the wheel. It quickens

response in corners, yet offers

precise on-center feel, inspiring

straight -line stability at higher

speeds, and easier steering effort

during lower - speed maneuvers.

Performance-rated. For more

tenacious grip under acceleration

without sacriﬁcing crisp steering

feedback, the rear wheels and

tires of every SLK are a full inch

wider than the fronts. In addition

to the standard wheels, there are

numerous optional 18" designs —

including race- bred AMG wheels

for the SLK 250 and SLK 350 as

part of the Sport Package.3

SLK 250. A 201-hp 1.8 -liter turbo-4 teams up with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or paddle-shifted 7- speed

automatic to deliver 60 mph in a brisk 6.5 seconds,

1 along with equally refreshing efﬁciency of up to 33 mpg

highway.2 Staggered- width 17" 5 -spoke alloy wheels and tires team up with a nimble sport-tuned suspension.

SLK 350. An invigorating 302-hp V-6 is paired with a 7-speed automatic with paddle shifters and 18" 5 -spoke

wheels.3 With a new ECO Start/Stop system, it can reach 60 in 5.4 seconds1 or return up to 29 highway mpg.2

SLK 55 AMG. A handcrafted 5.5-liter AMG V -8 wields 415 hp with the ﬁnesse of a 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT

transmission. AMG Cylinder Management and ECO Start/Stop can deactivate four or eight cylinders whenever

they’re not needed, for up to 28 highway mpg.2 Torque Vectoring Brake and 18" AMG wheels3 dig into corners.

Imagine winning the world’s ﬁrst automobile race in 1894. Sweeping the 1914

French Grand Prix. Capturing the checkered ﬂag in the legendary Silver Arrow.

Or pacing Formula 1™ in one of the many AMG models that have served as its

ofﬁcial Safety Car since 1996. Achieving any one of these would no doubt prove

inspiring. Accomplishing them all — that’s inspirational. True to its rich sporting

heritage, the 2013 SLK invokes its racing soul while evoking new passion for the

road ahead. Its iconic Star-and-crossblade grille, powerful hood and muscular

fenders blend classic roadster proportions with superior aerodynamics and a

supremely conﬁdent stance. And like the gullwing doors of the famed 300 SL,

the SLK has a signature of its own: its trendsetting folding roof, also available

with a tinted transparent panel or electronically variable tinted glass — a ﬁrst

for a retractable hardtop. At the touch of a button, the glass roof turns clear

and every star in the sky becomes yours. But no matter how you conﬁgure your

SLK, every Star that’s ever crossed a ﬁnish line will be shining on you as well.

Acrobatic. A perpetual highlight of the SLK is

watching its power-operated hardtop somersault

into the trunk in under 20 seconds. The heated

rear window pivots as the car transforms from

sleek coupe to open-air roadster. This allows it to

“nest” with the trunklid, leaving more than 60% of

the 10-cubic-foot luggage space available when

you’re traveling with the top down. And with the

Premium 1 Package (standard on the SLK 350

and SLK 55 AMG), you can even operate the roof

from outside the car, via the SmartKey remote.

Scenic. With a see-through panel of UV-blocking,

high-strength tinted polycarbonate, the Panorama

roof option offers a view of the sky as you enjoy

the comfort of a closed coupe. It power-folds into

the trunk just as compactly as the standard roof.

Magic. A Mercedes -Benz exclusive, optional

MAGIC SKY CONTROL is an innovative evolution

of the Panorama roof concept. When electrical

current is applied, particles within the glass panel

line up, allowing light to pass. Switch it off and

the particles scatter randomly, blocking light. In

its darkened state, the thermal energy entering

the cabin on a sunny day is less than that of a

household light bulb. And even in the transparent

setting, the glass effectively blocks both UV and

infrared rays, helping to keep the cabin cooler.

Athletic. The Sport Package adds further muscle

to the SLK 250 and SLK 350. Along with 18" AMG

wheels,3 this option adds an aggressive front air

dam with bold mesh air intakes, chiseled side sills

and rear valance, as well as darkened headlamps.

ABOVE AND BEYOND.

WITH A SOUL THAT TRACES TO HISTORY’S FIRST FINISH LINE,

AN SLK-CLASS CELEBRATES ITS LEGACY BY ACCELERATING IT.

Look at the list of safety features in most any car today, and you’ll see the history of Mercedes-Benz. That’s because our engineers

have been leading the way in safety for more than 60 years, with the ﬁrst crumple zone among many thousands of patents. Over the

decades, they’ve pioneered a portfolio of safety breakthroughs that went on to become industry standards — like the Antilock Braking

System (ABS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) and emergency- sensing Brake Assist. The engineering depth of the 2013 SLK-Class

not only helps it to perform better in a collision, it helps it perform better, period. Its exceptionally rigid body is welded from stronger,

lighter materials like ultra -high-strength steel, aluminum and magnesium. Its brakes intelligently respond to how the driver uses the

throttle and the windshield wipers. It watches for signs of driver drowsiness. And its advanced restraint systems and dual roll bars are

designed to keep their guard up even when the top is down. In situations where every second matters, so does every safety ﬁrst.

S TRONG AND STEADY. THROUGH THICK AND THIN.

SLK 250 shown with optional Iridium Silver metallic paint, PARKTRONIC, and Lighting, Premium 1 and Sport Packages. Please see endnotes at back of brochure.

OBSERVE

ATTENTION ASSIST. By continually monitoring a variety of driving

behaviors, this Mercedes-Benz innovation can audibly and visually alert

the driver if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips. More than 70

variables are measured in the ﬁrst minutes of each drive, to establish a

pattern and determine the warning thresholds accordingly.4

LED lighting. Brilliant white LED Daytime Running Lamps and LED

taillamps help make your presence and your actions more immediately

apparent to other drivers on the road. For the brake lamps, the light-

emitting diodes illuminate more rapidly than conventional bulbs — a

beneﬁt that can offer added reaction time to a driver behind your SLK.

Bi-Xenon headlamps. With the available Lighting Package, Bi-Xenon

headlamps generate light that’s perceived more like natural daylight than

with halogen lamps. Active Curve Illumination swivels their beams as you

turn the steering wheel, to improve illumination into corners up to 90%

over ﬁxed lamps. New for 2013, Adaptive Highbeam Assist continually

varies the beams of the Bi-Xenon lamps to put the most light on the road

ahead without causing glare for other drivers. The package also includes

headlamp washers, to help keep the lamps cleaner in poor weather.

SUPPORT

Adaptive braking. The 4 -wheel disc brakes incorporate technology to

help make driving more reassuring and relaxing in a variety of situations.

If the driver lifts off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets

the pads closer to the discs for quicker response when the driver steps

on the brakes. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically applies

the brakes just enough to sweep away water buildup on the discs. During

uphill starts, Hill- Start Assist helps prevent unwanted rollback. And a

HOLD feature can help make driving in stop-and- go trafﬁc less stressful.5

Dual roll bars. While the brushed aluminum trim of the signature dual

roll bars makes a strong style statement, what lies beneath speaks most

eloquently in the unlikely event of a rollover. Micro-alloy tubular steel is

ﬁber-reinforced for added strength, and afﬁxed to a rigid rear bulkhead.6

Body structure. Mercedes -Benz bodies have long been renowned as

benchmarks of rigidity and advanced crash management. The SLK-Class

carries these lofty standards forward without the burden of excessive

weight. Advanced materials are widely used, including high-strength and

ultra- high-strength steel for critical reinforcements, magnesium for the

hardtop frame, and aluminum for the front fenders and the hood.

PROTECT

Eight air bags. A suite of standard air bags offers advanced protection.7

Driver and passenger knee air bags supplement the dual-stage front air

bags. Dual torso-level side- impact air bags are each complemented by

head-level air bags that are designed to offer protection even when the

power hardtop and side windows are fully retracted.

Seat belts and head restraints. Still perhaps the most important safety

feature in any car, the 3-point seat belts in every SLK feature Emergency

Tensioning Devices (ETDs) to help remove some slack from the belts in

a collision exceeding a preset threshold. Belt-force limiters help reduce

the peak loads on a belted occupant during an impact. And NECK-PRO

active head restraints instantly move upward and slightly forward in

certain rear impacts, to help prevent or minimize whiplash- type injuries.

Post-collision response. If an air bag or ETD deploys, the standard

Mercedes- Benz mbrace2™ system’s Automatic Collision Notiﬁcation

can initiate a call to our 24-hour emergency response center — even

if you cannot.8 After a collision, the SLK can also automatically shut

off its engine and fuel supply, unlock its doors, switch on the hazard

ﬂashers, and illuminate some interior lights.

As fashionable as Mercedes-Benz sports cars have always been, their functional

virtues are why their instant appeal grows with every mile. Deeply contoured twin

power seats hold you close, while the spacious cockpit sets you free to enjoy its

advanced luxuries and wind-taming innovations. The console’s intuitive central

controller uniﬁes an abundance of useful, user- friendly technology — including the

new in-car Internet features available with the Mercedes -Benz mbrace2™ system.8

Cabin air is ﬁltered for dust and pollen before it ﬂows from classic round vents.

Wrapped in Premium leather, the ﬂat-bottom multifunction sport steering wheel

puts numerous features, including hands-free Bluetooth® with audio streaming,9 as

close as your thumbs. And the available AIRSCARF neck-level heating system can

turn a chilly evening or autumn day into perfect top-down driving weather.

OUTFITTED

Ensconcing. The heated10 8-way power sport

seats are equipped with 4-way power lumbar and

a 3- position memory that includes the driver’s

settings for the steering column and side mirrors.

Both mirrors are also heated and power-folding.

The SmartKey remote can lock the cabin storage

compartments, or operate the hardtop10 from

outside. Optional KEYLESS- GO lets you unlock

and drive your SLK with the key in your pocket.

Enchanting. Sleek aluminum trim highlights the

controls, instruments, air vents and dual roll bars,

as well as the center console and doors. Stylish

options include dramatic Black Ash wood for the

console and doors, or a Trim Package with warm

Burl Walnut wood further extending to the steering

wheel and gearshift. The seats and door armrests

are impeccably double -stitched with contrasting

thread. Rich leather10 or supple Premium leather11

upholstery is hand-ﬁtted and specially treated to

help fend off heat and sun damage. And as part

of the optional Sport Package, Solar Red direct

ambient lighting11 outlines the console and doors.

Embracing. Innovative comforts transcend the

seasons. With AIRSCARF,10 warmed air emanates

from beneath each head restraint, with three heat

settings and speed-sensing airﬂow. A rigid mesh

wind deﬂector snaps in between the roll bars, or

you can opt for AIRGUIDE — a pair of transparent

windstops that manually pivot from each roll bar.

Encompassing. The central controller and 5.8"

color-LCD screen12 unite a world of entertainment,

navigation, and personalized vehicle settings. The

standard audio gear includes USB and AUX inputs

and HD Radio™ stations. The Premium 1 Package10

adds SiriusXM Radio with 6 months of service,

an iPod®

/MP3 Media Interface,

14 and 500 watts

of harman/kardon LOGIC7® surround sound.

And the Multimedia Package adds a 6- disc DVD/

CD player and SD card reader, plus navigation15

with a fast 80GB hard drive (including a 10GB

Music Register for your digital music), a 7" screen

with 3D maps, SiriusXM Trafﬁc and Weather, and

Enhanced Voice Control that lets you operate

these features with your normal speaking voice.

The heart of an SLK 55 AMG Roadster is its engine — a work of modern art crafted by the hands of its own master engine builder, and crowned by a plaque bearing his signature.

The soul of AMG traces to an old German mill in 1967, where two former Mercedes-Benz engineers set out to handcraft champion racecars. Success on the track inspired them

to apply their unique performance pedigree to streetgoing Mercedes-Benz models. More than 45 years later, virtually every facet of design and development — from transmissions,

suspensions and brakes to the distinctive cockpit appointments — remains a seamless alignment of hands-on experience and high-performance engineering. More than a motto,

“One man, one engine” is a guiding principle in creating an automobile that can satisfy both the highest demands of driving and the deepest desires of its driver.

The SLK 55 AMG Roadster. A handcrafted 5.5 -liter Direct

Injection V-8 generates 415 hp to deliver 0–60 mph in an

invigorating 4.5 seconds.1 And yet its ultralow emissions

and everyday fuel -efﬁciency2 are remarkably refreshing.

Along with light weight and low friction, the engine’s AMG

Cylinder Management and ECO Start/Stop system let it

shut down four cylinders — or all eight — when they’re not

needed, then reignite them in as little as 30 milliseconds.

Multiple modes. The quick response of its 7- speed AMG

SPEEDSHIFT transmission is enhanced by three selectable

shift modes and rev- matched downshifts. Silver paddle

shifters are ideally placed on an AMG sport steering wheel

with ﬂattened top and bottom sections and perforated

side grips. Along with 3- stage ESP,

® the standard Torque

Vectoring Brake can assist vehicle rotation in corners, for

greater control, precision and driving conﬁdence.

Race-bred wheels. Staggered-width 18" AMG 5-spoke

wheels3 offer an enticing view of the AMG brake hardware.

AMG Handling Package. Racing-inspired enhancements

elevate the performance character of the SLK 55 AMG.

Multispoke wheels — with shimmering Silver or menacing

Matte Black spokes — complement a performance-tuned

suspension. A performance steering wheel with DINAMICA

side grips, a limited-slip differential and a 174-mph top

speed limiter16 further bring its racing pedigree to life.

ONE MAN, ONE ENGINE. PERFORMANCE ART, SIGNED BY THE ARTIST.

ENDNOTES

1 Stated rates of acceleration are based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and

road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load.

2 Preliminary 2013 EPA estimated fuel economy. See dealer for ﬁnal ﬁgures. Compare the estimated mpg to the estimated mpg of

other vehicles. You may get different mileage depending on how fast you drive, weather conditions and trip length. Your actual

highway mileage will probably be less than the highway estimate.

3 Lower aspect ratio tires and accompanying wheels provide substantially increased treadwear, increased tire noise and reduced

ride comfort. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or

upon encountering road debris or obstacles. These tires are not designed for use on snow and ice. Winter tires mounted on

appropriately sized and approved wheels are recommended for driving in those conditions.

4 Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST may be insufﬁcient to alert a fatigued or

distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury.

5 Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.

6 The roll bar system is designed to enhance the level of rollover protection compared to a vehicle without one. No system,

regardless of how advanced, can eliminate the chance of injury in an accident. Please always wear your seat belt.

7 WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE 13. SEE

OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS.

For more than 125 years — longer than any other automaker — we’ve been sharing this planet with you. And for

generations, Mercedes-Benz has been breaking new ground to help preserve the earth for future generations.

We introduced the world’s ﬁrst 100% CFC-free car, not just in its air conditioning but in its entire production

process. We’ve used water-borne paint since the 1990s. And our cars have long used steam-expanded foam,

sustainably forested wood, and natural products from coconut, ﬂax and even olives. We’ve been pioneering

advanced powertrains for generations, leading not just to today’s Direct Injection gasoline, clean diesel and

hybrid models, but to the electric and fuel cell vehicles of a tomorrow that’s already here. Mercedes -Benz is

also legendary for making cars of exceptional durability. After all, it takes about the same energy to build a car

that lasts as one that won’t. And along with award-winning factories and processes, we’re helping to develop

local infrastructures around the world to help bring a greener future to life. Like every aspect of Mercedes-Benz

innovation, today’s work sets the stage for the mobility — and the planet — that everyone will enjoy tomorrow.

FOR A SMALL BLUE PLANET.
