With its sportily tuned suspension the new SLK is optimally set up for a dynamic driving style even in its standard specification – whilst remaining astonishingly comfortable. With the sports suspension or the Dynamic Handling package, fun at the wheel can be tangibly increased further still through selectable suspension settings.
The Direct-Steer system (standard equipment in conjunction with Dynamic Handling package) offers a more direct steering ratio and reduces the need to steer in wide steering angles, for instance when parking or in tight curves. This increases the vehicle’s agility and steering comfort through precise steering characteristics and good feedback. | |
The Dynamic Handling Package offers a significant enhancement of the vehicle's driving dynamics, ride comfort and driving stability at high speeds. A touch of the Sports mode button is all it takes to shift the damper setting into sports mode. The Adaptive Damping electronically regulated damping system adjusts its characteristics continually and steplessly, the damping force being optimally adapted to each individual wheel in accordance with the current handling situation and road conditions. This results in a greater handling stability in all speed ranges – as well as greater motoring enjoyment. | |
The sports suspension (standard equipment in conjunction with AMG sports package) is available with 10 mm lowered vehicle body and a harder suspension set-up. |
