Mercedes Benz 350 Roadster Wallpaper

To counteract high-speed camshaft chain vibration, the higher-revving SLK350 Sport engine comes with tri-oval chain sprockets. Above 6,300 rpm, the tri-oval sprockets generate inversely phased pulses that tend to neutralize the usual vibration. For maximum air flow at high rpm, the Sport engine also makes use of a single-stage intake manifold, and valve timing has been advanced slightly to preserve its broad power range. The SLK350 can be ordered with a Sport package that includes AMG body styling, sport suspension, steering-wheel gearshift paddles and 18-inch AMG wheels. The Sport package includes AMG's automatic "throttle-blipping" feature for virtually jolt-free downshifting, which reduces load-change handling response, and for motorsports-minded drivers, improves braking before turn-in. With the first retractable hardtop in modern times, the SLK started an industry trend toward hardtop convertibles that's still going strong. After shaking up the small roadster market when it was introduced more than ten years ago, the second-generation SLK wowed the public again when it hit U.S. streets in 2004. The retractable hardtop of the SLK sets it apart from the competition. With the top up, it's a quiet coupe - push a button, and the car goes topless.

The SLK roof goes up or down in 22 seconds, and the folded roof takes up surprisingly little trunk space - thanks to its pivoting rear window. Like the retractable hardtop of the larger SL model, the rear window of the latest SLK swivels to match the curvature of the top, providing nearly three more cubic feet of trunk room than its predecessor. The SLK is considered one of the safest roadsters in the world. In addition to its integrated roll bars and two-stage front air bags for both the driver and passenger, the SLK is also equipped with dual knee bags and head-thorax air bags which are located in the seat backs and can deploy above the top of the seat back to help provide better head and neck protection, similar to the curtain-type air bags on hardtop Mercedes models. Like all Mercedes-Benz passenger vehicles, the SLK comes equipped with ESP stability control, a Mercedes innovation that can help prevent slides and spins, especially in slippery weather. ESP can detect an impending spin or slide and prevent it by applying the brakes to individual wheels or reducing engine power. In addition, full-range traction control helps to provide safer travel on slippery road surfaces. The SLK's unibody uses an impressive amount of high-strength steel alloy - 42 percent of the total structure - and the entire body shell is zinc-coated for long-term corrosion protection. The SLK also makes use of a scratch-resistant clearcoat paint that was initially developed in the nano-technology sector.
