Sports pack - 350 SLK

[eng622]

What do you get in this pack for a circa 2005 350SLK?

Not sure there was a "sports pack" as such for the UK market, but you could specify sports suspension and larger wheeels separately.

I found an online review of the SLK 350, which had this to say:

Our test car was also equipped with 18" 5-spoke AMG alloy wheels - 225/40 front tyres and 245/35 rear tyres including sports suspension (£1,200 option). The sports suspension option offers a firmer suspension setup and damping settings. With the sports suspension fitted, the body is lowered by 10 mm at the front and the rear and total spring travel at both axles is shortened by 10 mm compared to the standard chassis, while the spring rates increase by as much as 10 per cent. The result is minimal body roll and exceptionally high levels of grip.

With the 18" AMG wheels and lowered suspension you certainly feel in tune with the road surface but the ride remains supple. Mercedes-Benz have made an excellent job of filtering out unwanted vibrations including scuttle shake which is indicative of most convertibles, roof up or down.

Also, here is a PDF copy of the 2005 price list, showing what was standard and what was optional for each model.

PS: It's an SLK 350, not the other way round...

Many thanks, that was the road test I found referring to the parameter steering etc. The option list with codes/prices will prove very useful in my car search, that is if I can get the build spec of potential cars which I understand is available from the VIN.

A useful link! Is there a generic navigation path to "old" pricelists?
