Mercedes SLK Spy Shots

Mercedes Benz have themselves released a bunch of spy shots of its upcoming SLK. The pictures are shot in Death Valley, California, USA where the SLK is undergoing hot weather testing.

One of the One of the new features that Mercedes-Benz will debut on the 2012 SLK is its Magic Sky Control roof. This glass-paneled hardtop contraption can automatically be tinted to control how much light shines through the roof in an effort to keep the interior cooler on bright, sunny days when the top isn't down. We'd expect this sort of technology to make its way onto the other models such as the SL after the SLK’s launch, and could even be used on side windows for the rest of Mercedes product line.

Mercedes will launch the upcoming SLK roadster in Geneva Motor Show next year. Expect India launch shortly after global unveiling.
