Adding to the speculation surrounding the next-generation Mercedes SLK-Class, Car magazine is the latest to weigh in on the subject, noting several of the new enhancements drivers can expect from the already sporty roadster.  As seen in past spy photos of the Mercedes SLK, the publication notes that the most noticeable design developments are the replacement of a Formula 1 style nose with a bigger, bolder grille and the inclusion of LED running lights.  Meanwhile, approximately 220 pounds of weight will reportedly be shed to boost the vehicle’s environmental impact while adding to its already sporty character.

Car goes on to speculate that one diesel engine – a twin-turbo 2.1-litre four cylinder – will be available as part of the Mercedes-Benz SLK range, and that “everything from eco BlueEfficiency tech to the latest Airscarf neck warmers and the new Aircap wind deflector should be available”.

As always, we’ll continue to keep you updated as additional information regarding the next Mercedes SLK is released.
