Mercedes-Benz SLK R171 - From the SLK 200 K to the SLK 55 AMG and Tuners
This second volume in a series that covers the SLK models from the R170 to the R172, deals with the R171, launched in 2004. A new front, borrowed from the SLR McLaren, a larger and better equipped interior, plus a safer and sturdier body should ensure that the new car continued the success of the R170.
For the first time a small sports roadster was offered with a powerful V8 engine in form of the SLK55 AMG. It should help to do away with the boulevard image of its predecessor.
This book comes with a comprehensive buyer's guide, R171 model codes and explains VIM/FIN and data card in detail. It talks about potential six-cylinder engine problems and covers the Special Editions and some of the larger tuners such as Brabus.
