With its formidable retractable hardtop, the Mercedes-Benz SLK launched the fashion for modern coupe-cabriolets in 1996. Its playful character took advantage of the brand's serious status while allowing it to reach a new clientele, younger, more feminine and more dynamic. It constitutes a major event in the history of the Stuttgart manufacturer, keen to rejuvenate its image.
The SLK then has no competitors and its launch prices make it affordable for a Mercedes. The commercial success of this concept encourages many manufacturers to follow suit. However, no one has managed to interpret this solution with as much elegance as Mercedes, which has managed to stay a step ahead technologically throughout its career. In three generations (types R170, R171 and R172), the compact roadster with the star has sold more than 710,000 units. In the process, he will have shared his genes to give life to the Chrysler Crossfire.
The saga of this trend-setting sportswoman is told in this book, the first written in French and illustrated with more than four hundred photos.
