Besides their obvious adventure with McLaren for the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, Mercedes has done an awful lot in the field of sporty road cars. Let's look first at the SLK.
The car was one of the first to offer a retracting hard top in its convertible version and promised speed coupled with comfort. In terms of acceleration it can offer 0-62mph in 5.6 seconds and is limited to 155mph for its top speed. In road tests it amazed driving enthusiast with its strong handling with the hard top down. However, its performance with the top up was not quite enough to keep everyone happy, the interior too was also seen as slightly sub par for the cars price range.
In a more relaxed area is the CLS. Offering four doors over the SLK's two, the CLR still has plenty of go! Offering 4.5seconds to get from 0 to 62 in the CLS 63, it will leaving many a sports car wondering what just happened. On top of that its four doors mean that this sports car is usable for the whole family and an enormous boot means you can do the shopping in it too!
