CLK Kompressor

[macai_3]

My friend seems to think that all CLK's and SLK are Kompressors....Will someone just reply and prove to him that that's not the case.....Please!!!!

Currently all the 4cyl US spec models are Kompressors, but there are still n/a and Kompressors V6 models.

But if you want to prove it to him just goto http://www.mercedes-benz.com/com/e/ and have a look at all the differnt models avliable all over the world.

Currently there are no CLK models that use a kompressor in the USA.

Someone answer me two questions please,
1) Doesn't Kompressor, as far as Mercedes is concerned, mean that the car has a supercharger?

2)Is there a significant meaning to the "K" in CLK and SLK? If so what is it.

I'm sorry, I drive an '03 Tiburon, that I love by the way, and don't know too much about M.B., although I try to stay pretty knowledgable.

Thanx for not making too much fun of me

1) Yes

2) Not that I know of. I'll see if I can research a bit at a later date.

The K is for Kompakt. So you've got SLK, being a smaller (compact) version of the SL. You've also got the CLK being a smaller version of the CL. Hope this clears it up for you.
I know them all if you got any more questions!
