SLK Original Concept Car Magazine Cover

I saved the June 1995 issue of "duPont Registry" magazine, but forgot about it until today. Here is the cover picture:

Didn't Stray Far

That's right. Even the wheels look like the eventual stock SLK320 ones, and there is a hint of the later facelifted lower bumper.

I just noticed we have the same specs on our SLKs.

Edit: Unless you dont have a manual transmission.

Decided to include the image for those too lazy to click :p

Wow!
I had never seen that concept before. I wish the production SLK had the layered guage cluster like the concept and the seats look much more comfy in the concept too.
