For the future SLK-Class Mercedes-Benz has developed a new six-cylinder engine whose exemplary output and torque characteristics are supremely well-suited to this sporty, dynamic sports car and guarantee driving enjoyment at the highest level.

The maximum torque is already available from 2500 rpm and remains constant over a wide engine speed range up to 5000 rpm, providing powerful acceleration and rapid sprints.
