HISTORY历史
The car was originally launched on the British market in November 1996.本来发射车1996年11月进入英国市场. Until April 2000 it was only available in one form: with the C-class's four cylinder 2.3-litre supercharged 'Kompressor' engine under the bonnet and an automatic gearbox.直到2000年4月就只有一种形式:随着丙级的4缸2.3公升增压『kompressor的发动机、自动变速箱头盖下.
At that point, Mercedes?此时此刻,梅赛德斯? response to critics of their ?underpowered?针对批评自己?低估? sports car was a revised and expanded range with 2.0 and 2.3-litre supercharged four-cylinder engines plus a 3.2-litreV6.跑车是修订和扩大范围,与2.0和2.3升增压四缸引擎,另加3.2-litrev6.
These came with a new six-speed manual gearbox or an optional five-speed automatic with Tiptronic-like clutchless manual operation as well as Mercedes?这些新来的六速变速箱手册或择五速tiptronic自动同样clutchless手工操作以及梅赛德斯? ESP traction control system and Speedtronic cruise control.除尘器牵引控制系统和speedtronic巡航控制. The engineers sharpened up the handling, enlarged the fuel tank, moved the indicator repeaters to the door mirrors and restyled the bumpers, grille and side mouldings.工程师削尖的处理,扩大了油箱,提出对指标留级门镜restyled的保险杠、格栅及侧模.
Inside, there was new turned aluminium trim, new steering wheel, revised instruments and improved sports seats with electric operation on the SLK230 and 320.境内有新铝浪转,新方向盘修订和完善体育座椅电动工具的操作slk230和320. In early 2001 the rapid SLK32 AMG was offered for sale.2001年初被磁悬浮快速slk32发售.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
You could see this as a smaller version of the SL, but really the SLK appeals to a younger, more aggressive style of customer, a fact which, to be fair, appears to be borne out by the bulging order book.你可以看到这样一个较小的澳门版,但真正的slk呼吁年轻、顾客更大胆作风,事实,说句公道话,似乎是为了印证了密密麻麻的书. Moreover, in the metal, it?s a much smaller car, four inches shorter than an Escort and only six inches longer than a Fiesta.此外,在金属、?收盘小得多车4英寸少于保姆,只有6英寸长逾一广场.
You wouldn't guess that from looking at the photographs - but that's only because Michael Mauer's styling is so well proportioned, often delicate yet in places, downright purposeful.你不会看照片推测,不过那只是因为迈克尔mauer的造型非常匀称,但往往微妙地、彻头彻尾针对性. Some see the retro-style body bulges as reminiscent of the great Mercedes 300SL from the Fifties.看到有些复古式的身体骤增为山城大奔驰300sl由五十年. Others hail the wedge-shaped profile with its steeply raked screen and stubby C-class-style taillights as a modern piece of automotive art.别人欢呼楔形轮廓与峭秋后屏幕而粗壮的C级式taillights作为现代汽车艺术片.
But if the SLK isn't really an SL, you couldn't really call it an affordable roadster either.但如果slk算不上是澳门,你真的不能称之为得起跑车. It isn't only the price which puts it in a different class from Alfa Spiders, Z3s, MGFs and MX-5s, it?s the sheer depth of ability designed in from the outset.它不仅价格就处在不同级α蜘蛛z3s,而MX的mgfs--5,?收盘单纯深度从开始设计能力.
Stuttgart says that ?SLK?斯图加特说?slk? stands for sportlich, leicht and kompakt - sporty, light and compact.主张sportlich,提凯宁和kompakt-潇洒、轻工、紧凑. Sporty you can easily agree with; the 2.3-litre supercharged Kompressor engine (lifted from the C-class) makes sixty in eight seconds on the way to 141mph.潇洒你可以轻易同意;2.3升增压发动机kompressor(抄自三级)60分八秒就使得地141mph. The newer two-litre hits 60mph in just under eight seconds on the way to 139mph, the revised 2.3 takes seven seconds while the top speed is 149mph and the new V6 hits 60mph in 6.7 seconds and lunges on to a 152mph top speed.较两公升60mph只需点击下八秒的办法139mph,修改后的二月三日需07秒,最高时速149mph新V6导命中60mph秒,在6月7日至152mphlunges就火速.
Compact too is an accurate description - though unlike cheaper roadsters, the cockpit is far from being cramped.为准确描述过于紧凑,虽然不像roadsters便宜,驾驶舱远未局促. But leicht?但提凯宁? At around 1,360kg, this is a much more substantial piece of metal than you'd expect for a sports car of this price.约1360公斤,这是一个更为可观的金属片比也不逊色了跑车这个价. And thank heavens for that.为表示感谢老天爷. There's no flab here; Mercedes has created the stiffest bodyshell in the class, so it?s no surprise to find that this in turn makes the car the safest of its kind.天下没有松弛这里;宾士创造造就bodyshell在班上所以?收盘惊奇地发现,这又使得它的安全车种.
The car's piece de resistance, however, has to be that 'accordion' roof, combining as it does all the advantages of a fixed-head coupe with those of an open-topped convertible.车子的一块德抵抗,但已被认为'伴奏'屋顶它结合所有的优点固定头采伐跟不限突破兑换. At the touch of a button on the console, five hydraulic cylinders spring into action and 25 seconds later, the two metal panels making up the roof slot sweetly into place.在触按钮就控制台、液压缸五个行动起来,25秒钟后,两个金属板组成的屋顶缝隙甜起来.
If you're letting the sun in, make sure that you've left yourself enough space behind, because the twin-hinged bootlid folds backwards before it can automatically receive the hard top for stowage in the luggage compartment.如果你让太阳,使你后面留下自己的空间不够,由于双铰bootlid褶皱后退才能自动获得最高为辛勤的行李舱装载. You won't be surprised to learn that this dramatically reduces the available stowage space - from 12.3 to 5.1 cubic feet.你不会惊讶,这可大大降低装载空间从12月3日至5月1日立方英尺.
This is something to bear in mind if you're packing up the car with the roof in place, expecting to let the sun in at the first opportunity.这是值得记住你的车收拾屋顶到位,期待让太阳在第一时机. A roller bind will separate your baggage from the roof mechanism and this must be pulled out before the top is lowered.滚筒将单独约束机制和你的行李从屋顶这之前必须拔掉顶向下.
The specification is comprehensive, including twin front airbags, power steering, mirrors, windows and locks, contrasting two-tone leather upholstery, anti-lock brakes, alloy wheels, air conditioning, an adjustable steering column, a good quality stereo, front and rear fog lamps and automatic transmission (no manual option until the range was revised).规格是全面性的,包括双锋气袋,动力转向,镜子,窗户和门锁,对比两口气皮革座垫、防抱死刹车合金车轮、空调、可调督导专栏,好的立体声、前方和后方雾灯具和自动变速器(没有人工选择范围,直到修改). The revised models also have traction and cruise control systems.修改后也牵引模型和巡航控制系统.
You'll also like the little touches; the chrome-rimmed instruments that glow a subtle shade of orange at night, the mock-carbon fibre trim on the earlier models (turned aluminium or wood replaced it), the cleverly concealed cup-holders, the clip-on wind deflector net, the tailor-made sound system and the digital miles-to-service indicator incorporated into the instrument cluster.您还没有触及一样;铬沸腾文书辉光微妙色彩橙色夜各示范修剪就比较典型的碳纤维(木或铝取代它转化),巧妙隐蔽杯持有<夹-关于网风偏转,度身定做音响系统、数码英里到服务指标纳入联网工具.
