The 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK-class roadster model has been launched in Malta.

Key visual enhancements include new-look front and rear sections and a meticulously modified interior with a new instrument cluster and a three-spoke sports steering wheel.

A fast-running V6 sports engine and an optionally available direct-steer system, truly bring the bold, dynamic character of the two-seater SLK 350 to the fore, a spokesman for the car maker said. Furthermore, all of the engines in the line-up are now far more economical on fuel and, therefore, emit even less CO2, despite a substantial increase in output in many cases.

The new-generation SLK displays new sporty highlights, further enhancing the appeal of the successful two-seater with the trendsetting vario roof that transforms the car from a roadster into a weatherproof coupé in seconds.

As trendsetters and technology leaders, the SLK-class roadsters have long enjoyed the image of a modern cult car, the spokesman added. The roadster comes with the option of the unique Airscarf neck-level heating system, which allows open-top driving pleasure all year round, even in winter.
