  • Screencapture of leaked 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK video

    From the very beginning, this video mystifies us. Speaking what appears to be French while in a creepy mini-orchard infested with insects, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK shown in this video raises more questions than it answers, such as "What the hell is going on here?" We're not sure, nor will we ever be, but we can clearly see the car, revealed in most every aspect over 9 minutes, 49 seconds. The same video popped up briefly earlier today but vanished shortly after--check it out for yourself before it gets taken down yet again. If you miss it, however, you can always check out the low-res...

    Mercedes-Benz Goes In-Depth On 2012 SLK's Magic Sky Control Roof

    The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK is still more than a few months from its world debut, but Mercedes is so amped about the "Magic Sky Control" roof, it's already dumping the details on its photochromic folding hardtop.

    2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK Spotted On First Day Of Fireball Run

    Spy Shots: 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK

    The current generation of the SLK roadster has served Mercedes-Benz well over its life since introduction in 2004, and like all cars its once-cutting-edge design has become somewhat tired despite a mid-cycle facelift. An all-new SLK is in the works, however, spotted on numerous occasions testing in...

    Five reasons to love Cameron Diaz, as evinced in the photo linked below: 1) She's not Charlize Theron. 2) She's not Kate Hudson. 3) She's not Blake Lively. 4) She's not Kristen Bell. 5) She's not Sarah Jessica Parker.

Unless it's red. But we think it's pink. And thinking pink is awesome. [SocialiteLife]

    Vath V58K Tunes Mercedes' SLK55 AMG Up To 565 Horsepower

    Tuner cars are often examples of the worst sort of overkill, but occasionally a car will sneak through with less-than-typical appearance modifications and a monstrously re-engineered heart. Such is the case with the Vath V58K, an extreme take on the SLK55 AMG. The Germans at Vath decided that...

    Why hello there, Emmy Rossum! You sure are well-dressed in this photo -- especially to be dating somebody from Counting Crows.

  • MBTech CNG Mercedes Benz SLK Concept

    In an attempt to show off the potential of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) cars, MBTech, an engineering group with close ties to Mercedes Benz, has run a series of tests at Germany’s Nurburgring using a SLK powered by the alternative fuel. The aim was to show that reduced CO2 emissions don’t have to mean lower performance. MBTech also used the cramped trunk of the SLK, which still has to store the car’s folding roof, to showcase its new compact gas cylinder design. Other new technologies featured on the CNG SLK concept included new fuel-injection and exhaust system. The CNG SLK...
