Description
Highlights
5.4-litre V8 engine Seven-speed transmission Extensive service history Long MOT Obsidian Black paintwork
Overview Shoehorning a sizeable V8 engine into a small car is something which has been going on since the dawn of motoring.
In fact, if you turn up at Goodwood on the right weekend of the year you’ll be able to see a land speed record holder from 1908 — comprised of a huge 200 hp V8 engine strapped to a couple of pieces of angle iron with wheels on them — being hurled around the circuit. So this SLK is proudly continuing a tradition so old it’s practically written into human DNA by now.
The 5.4-litre unit produces 350 bhp and will take you from zero to 62 mph in a whisker under five seconds, thanks to its quick seven-speed transmission. The folding hardtop roof, optional Harman/Kardon sound system, ‘Airscarf’ neck-level heaters, and recently fitted Bluetooth connection all make the cabin of this Mercedes a very pleasant place to be.
And the splashes of red trim only ...
