Westport Mercedes S550 Dealers Anticipate the Arrival of the All New 2012 SLK Class

The timely redesign of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK will finally be unveiled at your Wilton Mercedes GL450 dealer early next year and promises a wealth of new safety features, a fresh new design, better fuel efficiency and more power. The car was first introduced to Fairfield residents in 1998 and became the flagship modern convertible with the first ever retractable hardtop instead of a fabric roof. Mercedes-Benz has consistently set new standards of innovative technology, progressive designs and impressive performance, and the SLK is continuing the trend.

The latest SLK will be integrated with the latest technologies developed by Mercedes-Benz including a Distronic Plus system. Distronic Plus is a proximity control system that coordinates with a Pre-Safe brake system that engages the brakes to if there is a potential collision. The Distronic Plus system also adjusts the proximity of your car from the car in front of you to maintain a safe distance on the road.

Also new to the SLK when it arrives at your Westport Mercedes S550 dealer is an occupant protection system that is the only technology of its kind in the world. The Pre-Safe system detects a potential accident and instinctively activates precautionary measures to protect passengers. If the risk of a collision is detected, the Pre-Safe system will automatically adjust seat belts and air bags to provide maximum protection in the event of an impact. Attention Assist is another driver assistance system that will be featured in the SLK which helps monitor the driver’s level of awareness and produces a warning if the driver is not fully attentive.

The SLK will arrive at your Wilton Mercedes GL450 dealer with a new design most noticeable by the convertible’s longer body and flatter hood. A distinct chrome grille and sculpted LED headlights are more upright on the front of the car’s longer nose creating a more aerodynamic, athletic appearance. The interior features luxurious accessories and a modern appeal while a three spoke sport steering wheel and a column-mounted gear selector create a sporty ambience.

Westport Mercedes S550 dealers can expect the SLK to debut with an all new 3.5-liter direct injected V6 engine good for 230 horsepower. Rumors have circulated about the possibility of a 6.2-liter V8 engine becoming available though nothing has been confirmed by Mercedes-Benz. One thing that Fairfield drivers can be certain of is an exhilarating performance that the SLK is sure to deliver. Current SLK models available at your Mercedes-Benz dealer also offer breathtaking performance in a stylish and luxurious package for those of you who can’t wait until the 2012 model to make its debut next year.
