The tuners have already had a go at it, and it’s recently received cylinder deactivation for the SLK55 version, so it’s easy to look at the Mercedes’ two-seater drop-top as a relatively uninteresting car.

Porsche has a new Boxster coming next year, and by the looks of things, it’s the best one ever. But for prestige and presence, the SLK is still a worthy contender, and the latest image gallery for the 250 and 350 versions prove this to be true.

We’ll remind you that the SLK also has a frugal little 2.1-liter diesel engine for the 250 CDI version, which produces 204 horsepower and 500Nm (368.8 lb-ft) of peak torque. Despite the hothatch levels of grunt, it’s still able to accelerate to 100km/h (62mph) in 6.7 seconds, accelerate from 80 to 120km/h in 4.3 seconds, and reach a top speed of 243 km/h (151mph).

The petrol 250 is powered by a 1.8-iter with the same power that’s slightly faster and serves as a base model.

For more images and some in-deapth analysis of the car, check out our testdrive with the SLK350.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
