Mercedes-Benz usually has more formal introductions for its vehicles, but recently the upcoming SLK hardtop convertible debuted in a French promotional film that turned up on the Internet.
The roadster features the current aggressive styling, including a large front grille opening and huge emblem, Autoblog reports. Among the features found on the SLK are the AirScarf system neck warmer, adaptive headlights, seven-speed automatic gearbox and the Magic Sky control roof, which darkens by pressing a button. Unlike photo-sensitive lenses, the system uses electricity to vary the opacity from clear to nearly opaque. The glass filters UV and infrared radiation.
Official debut of the SLK is expected at either the Detroit Auto Show in January or Geneva in March.
