The limits of performance are found in extremes. For Mercedes-Benz, only the supercharged intensity of the racetrack is sufficient to test our performance systems. And because our engines win on the track, you know they'll perform wonders in the 2005 SLK320 and 2005 SLK230 -- even in the most demanding of conditions.
At Mercedes-Benz, design is not about following trends. It's about individual character. Since we recognize that exceptional people demand exceptional quality and style, our vehicles are fashioned to set Mercedes-Benz drivers apart from the crowd. And now, with more custom options than ever before, every 2005 SLK320 and 2005 SLK230 is truly a reflection of personal style and taste.
Drawing upon our legendary heritage of safety, Mercedes-Benz engineers employ the very latest computer technologies to design each vehicle. Our rigorous, 28-test crash regimen is designed for the real world and exceeds the regulations of every nation on earth. All with one goal in mind: the protection of SLK320 and SLK230 occupants.
