Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG 2013

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK AMG belongs to the third generation of the SLK series (R172), which was introduced in 2011 as the successor to the R171. With this generation, Mercedes-Benz continued the tradition of the compact roadster, combining a steel folding roof with a relatively short wheelbase and an emphatic sporty character. Within this series, the Mercedes-Benz SLK AMG constitutes the version developed by Mercedes-AMG, distinguished by a modified powertrain and chassis configuration compared to the regular variants.

The SLK name was first introduced in 1996 and stands for "Sportlich, Leicht und Kurz." Over the years, the model grew to become a fixture in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. The third generation features a modified design with influences from other models of the brand from the same period, including a more upright grille and sharper lines in the exterior design. The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK AMG falls within the production years of this generation, which ran until 2016, after which the model continued under the name SLC.

This example comes from South Korea. In South Korea, as in most of Europe, people drive on the right side of the road. This means that the adjustment of the headlights and the placement of the rear fog light are suitable for use in countries where people drive on the right, including the Netherlands and Belgium. This is in line with the European traffic configuration.

The Mercedes-Benz SLK AMG combines within the Mercedes-Benz model range the compact roadster architecture with the specific tuning characteristic of AMG versions from this period. As such, this version occupies a recognizable position within the development of the SLK series and the broader line of sporty Mercedes-Benz models from the early 2010s. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
