 &amp;nbsp; 
 The  Mercedes Benz MB R170  is a two-seater Mercedes Benz  SLK-class roadster , which was produced from autumn 1996 to early 2004. It was the first  cabrio  for a long time, which was equipped with a fixed, hinged steel roof. This hinged steel roof, also called  Retractable Hardtop  or  Vario   roof  disappears completely and automatically in the trunk of the vehicle. 
 Because the  R170 &amp;nbsp;made of steel, it combines the advantages of a  hardtop  and offers the flexibility of a folding top. This makes the SLK both   roadster   AND coupe  . The  Vario roof  folds out of the boot within 25 seconds in the R170 model series. Due to this technology, the trunk volume decreases with the roof open from 348 to 145 liters. The R170 is the  best-selling roadster in Germany  and replaced the  Mazda MX-5  in the sales statistics. 
 The technically based on the  C-Class W202 Roadster  was subjected to a facelift in February 2000. In addition to optical changes, the engine range experienced a significant renovation. 
 
 The 2-liter entry-level engine was upgraded with a  compressor . 
 For the first time, a  six-cylinder  was also available in the SLK series. 
 The engine of the  SLK 320  corresponds to the familiar from other series 3.2-liter six-cylinder in V-shape, with three valves per cylinder and dual ignition. 
 For the first time, this engine could be chosen with a manual gearbox. In all other series, the automatic transmission was standard. 
 Die Leistungsspitze im  SLK  markiert der  SLK 32 AMG  mit 260 kW (354 PS). 
 The power peak in the SLK marks the SLK 32 AMG with 260 kW (354 hp). 
 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 With the  MOPF  (model care),  ESP  and the  manual six-speed gearbox  were introduced as standard in all models. The interior decoration used higher quality materials. 
 
 Externally, the facelifted SLK can be recognized by new sills and aprons as well as by the distinctive turn signals in the mirror housing.   
 In the spring of 2004, the R170 was replaced by the  Mercedes Benz R171 . Based on the R170 the  Chrysler Crossfire  was produced until the end of 2007.

 The  Mercedes Benz MB R171  is a  roadster  from Mercedes Benz. The cabrio is the second generation of the  SLK class  and successor to the Mercedes Benz R170. Sales start in Europe was March 27, 2004. 
 The electro-hydraulic roof mechanism has been slightly modified compared to its predecessor. In the new model, the rear window rotates in its frame, so that its curvature points upwards in the folded state. As a result, the trunk could be increased in the Cabriomodus. 
 
 New in the SLK and for the  first time in a cabrio  from Mercedes Benz was the optional  headspace heater Airscarf .   
 The R171 conveys heated air through ducts in the seat and headrest, directing a warm jet on the neck of the driver and front passenger.   
 The temperature is adjustable in three stages and the fan speed automatically adapts to the speed.   
 The distinctive front is a reference to the supercar  Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren  by  McLaren Mercedes  and has led to the nicknamed &quot; coati &quot;.   
 The new model received a new front apron, which is intended to be more dynamic, as well as larger, trapezoidal tailpipes, diffuser optics and darker lights at the rear. 
 
 The R171 also has the following special models of the SLK-Class:

In addition, silver-colored decorative seams, which increase the contrast between black and silver, are used on the seats. Speedometer and tachometer underline the exclusivity of this model with red scale rings.   
  2LOOK edition  At the Geneva Motor Show in 2009, Mercedes presented the limited edition of 300 pieces special model with the name 2LOOK Edition. The SLK 2LOOK Edition is only available in the colors black and calcite white. In the interior, the leather upholstery are accordingly in the other color to achieve a high contrast.   
  Grand edition  On January 11, 2010 Mercedes put on another special model. The SLK Grand Edition stands out with an exclusive livery and a refined interior of the other SLK models. In this model, the third brake light is darkened; Silver fins on the air intakes are mounted on the hood.
