Mercedes-Benz SLK (2011) in Red (1:18 scale)
- In 1996 the Mercedes-Benz SLK was presented to the public for the first time, & in 2011 the third generation of the Roadster was unveiled & showed some significant changes, especially in the front nose area. The front grill is similar to the one of the Mercedes-Benz SLS, which is higher than the first SLK version due to new pedestrian law requirements.
Mercedes-Benz has taken this as a chance to change the whole proportions of the new SLK & has optimized the bonnet with a longer aluminium hood. Newly designed headlight reflectors give the finishing touches to the SLK front & also lead to a decreased c W value of only 0.3 in comparison to 0.32 of its predecessor.
