New SLK March 2004 - New engines & 7 Speed Auto!
Translated German:
"According to AMS the new SLK (R171) becomes in March 2004 with two new V6 engines with 4 valve technology debuetieren. The new engines of the family M272 will have 3 litres and 3.5 litres. They are to carry 231 HP and 258 HP out. Both V6 engines are available with the new 7-Gangautomatik. While the proven 5-Gangautomatik is to the SLK 200 K for the time being optionally at the disposal. The length of the new SLK is to grow by 7cm as well as the width by 6cm. The trace will widen itself in front in the back around 7cm and around 3cm. The wheel base grows by 3cm, this benefits the interior. One steers by means of the steering rack, which is to be had optionally also as parameter steering element. "
The engine information appears to be the next generation Direct Gas Injection.
