2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK Compact Near Luxury Convertible

With that eye-popping prow, flat side panels accented with big blackwalls and rakish windshield stretched wide across a cockpit for two, snappy SLK Class two-seat coupes can shed that hard top in seconds and store it in the trunk to switch from weather-tight coupe to airy convertible.

The series continues in 2004 with three editions capped by the SLK32 AMG performance model packing a supercharged 3.2-liter V6 and rolling on twin-spoke alloy AMG wheels. SLK320 draws from a 215 hp V6 and the entry edition SLK230 Kompressor uses a supercharged dual-cam 2.3-liter four-pack.

This year's special edition SLK stocks 17-inch alloy wheels, Nappa leather sport seats and a cockpit roll bar, plus chrome accents on the body with body-colored paint on front grill and tail spoiler.
