Mercedes Benz SLK 2LOOK Edition (2009)

Overview:

Mercedes-Benz is launching the SLK 2LOOK Edition just in time for summer. The striking special edition enhances the already stunning SLK Roadster with unique colour options inside and out, while increased standard equipment ensures driver and passenger alike have everything they could need for perfect drop-top driving this summer. With only 150 cars available, the SLK 2LOOK offers exclusivity and is available in Calcite White or Black paint. For those who want to shimmer in the sun, Obsidian Black Metallic paint is available as an option, while designo Mystic White paint is available as a special order. Imposing 18? 5-twin spoke alloy wheels are standard on the special edition and there is a choice of two finishes, Titanium Silver or Chrome Shadow. The model is further differentiated by the black surrounds on the headlamps and the 2LOOK Edition badge on the wings. Moving inside, the SLK 2LOOK features sports seats upholstered in sumptuous black and white designo nappa leather with contrasting topstitching. The multi-function steering wheel, centre armrest and door panels also feature the luxurious feel of the designo nappa leather which is carefully selected for quality by experienced Mercedes-Benz upholsterers who ensure top level craftsmanship and attention to detail. The stylish interior is further enhanced by the black roof lining, Mystic white dashboard trim and black velour floor mats with white edging and 2LOOK badges. As well as looking good the SLK 2LOOK is also focused on driver and passenger comfort. AIRSCARF, the unique neck-level heating system is fitted as standard and acts like an invisible scarf to ensure occupants keep warm out on the open road. Heated seats and a transparent 2LOOK Edition wind deflector also ensure maximum comfort when driving with the roof down, making open top driving as feasible on a crisp winter’s day as it is during the warm summer months. The SLK 2LOOK will be powered by the popular 200 KOMPRESSOR engine and will be available on the road from £31,235.00. With the designo nappa leather and the host of other additional standard equipment on the SLK 2LOOK, customers will benefit from over £2395 of added value over the standard car. There are also attractive finance rates available on the 2LOOK and other SLK models from Mercedes-Benz retailers. As with all Mercedes-Benz models the SLK 2LOOK comes with a 3-year unlimited mileage warranty as well as a unique Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance package comprising up to 30-years pan-European breakdown assistance. At the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz is presenting a new, eye-catching special model in the successful SLK series with the model suffix "2LOOK Edition". This new model variant, which is specifically aimed at a younger target group, is only available in glossy black or lustrous white. This styling touch is harmoniously complemented by a two-tone interior with high-grade materials in dramatic black-and-white contrasts. The attraction of opposites - this is the concept with which the new Mercedes-Benz SLK "2LOOK Edition" special model will enter the new open-top season. The intentional limitation to a black-and-white colour scheme both inside and out lends this successful two-seater with a vario-roof an exclusive, dramatic appearance and ensures a decidedly eye-catching presence. The Mercedes-Benz SLK 2LOOKEdition is painted in a choice of either calcite white or black as standard. On request the Mercedes-Benz SLK 2LOOKEdition is also available in exclusive obsidian black metallic or the special finish designo mystic white, which is limited to 300 vehicles worldwide. Headlamps with black surrounds send an additional stylish message, ensuring that the Mercedes-Benz SLK 2LOOKEdition is easily recognisable from a distance. The sporty and striking appearance of the special model is emphasised by 18-inch 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels with mixed tyre sizes (front: 225/40 R18, rear: 245/35 R18). In line with the colour philosophy of the 2LOOKEdition, these are available in two surface variants: a lustrous high-sheen finish in titanium silver or dark, striking chrome shadow. Discreet emblems on the wings and a draught-stop of transparent acrylic glass from the range of high-quality Mercedes accessories bearing the 2LOOKEdition logo also distinguish the special model.
