Mercedes-Benz, the Slk Models

The SLK R171 was a step up from the successful R170 with its newer and beefier power plants. Slightly longer and wider, it comes with an almost 50 percent increase in torsional rigidity with the roof down. Its interior is more up market and with the SLK55 AMG it offered the first V8 in its class. This 210-page book was last updated in March 2017 and gives you all the facts about the R171. These are some of the topics covered: The development of the R171 Trouble shooting the vario roof The engines M272 balance shaft issues R171 buyer’s guide The COMAND system The option packages The SLK55 AMG The SLK55 AMG Black Series The SLK55 AMG Asia Cup The special editions The Brabus SLK Other tuners The VIN/FIN explained The data card R171 model codes Technical specifications This guide ends with a free book offer. Enjoy! Why is this book not available as hard cover? Even today with modern digital printing services available, books with many color photos are expensive to produce. This book comes with around 170 high quality photos, most of them in color, and would cost retail as hardcover version over US$ 70 (or the corresponding amount in £ or €), which the author finds excessive. That is why the choice to offer the more reasonable to produce soft cover option. Thank you for your understanding.
