Mercedes has announced today that since its launch in 1996, 500,000 units
of the SLK-Class have been delivered to customers. Breaking this figure
down by generation, roughly 310,000 first generation vehicles were sold,
while its successor has sold some 190,000 units since its market launch in
March 2004. According to Dr. Klaus Maier, Executive Vice President
Mercedes-Benz Cars and the man responsible for sales and marketing: 'With
the launch of the SLK in 1996, Mercedes-Benz successfully established the
premium segment for compact roadsters. Thanks to innovative technology
such as the vario-roof and the neck-level heating system AIRSCARF, the SLK
has long been recognized as a cult car of modern times. The new-
generation SLK models, which we are delivering to customers since April
2008, are sportier than ever. I’m confident that the dynamic looks and
performance of the new SLK will again set pulses racing among sports cars
enthusiasts around the world.' Read more
