The Mercedes-Benz R 170 is a two-seater roadster from the first SLK series, which was produced from autumn 1996 to early 2004. It was the first Mercedes-Benz convertible equipped with a fixed, folding steel roof. This folding steel roof, also known as a retractable hardtop or vario roof, disappears completely and automatically into the trunk of the vehicle. Because it is made of steel, it combines the advantages of a hardtop with the flexibility of a folding roof. This makes the SLK both a roadster and a coupe. In the R 170 model series, the vario roof folds out of the trunk within 25 seconds. As a result, the trunk space with the roof open is reduced from 348 liters to 145 liters. The manufacturer of the hardtop was the company Car Top Systems. A total of 311.222 examples of the R 170 were built. This made it the best-selling roadster in Germany, ahead of the Mazda MX-5. The SLK presented here is a 230 Kompressor with 193 hp and a top speed of 231 km/h, so it has sufficient power to keep up well.
