Mercedes-Benz - Générations SLK

NEW

Dotée de son toit rigide escamotable novateur, la Mercedes-Benz SLK a lancé la tendance des coupés-cabriolets modernes dès 1996. Mariant le caractère ludique à la réputation sérieuse de la marque, elle a attiré une clientèle nouvelle, jeune, féminine et dynamique, marquant un tournant majeur dans l'histoire de ce constructeur de Stuttgart, désireux de rajeunir son image.

À son lancement, la SLK, sans concurrente, s'est démarquée par ses tarifs accessibles pour une Mercedes, suscitant l'engouement commercial et incitant d'autres constructeurs à suivre cette voie.
Aucun n'a égalé l'élégance avec laquelle Mercedes a interprété cette solution, maintenant une avance technologique tout au long de sa carrière sur trois générations (types R170, R171 et R172). Ce roadster compact étoilé a séduit plus de 710 000 passionnés, partageant ses gènes pour donner naissance à la Chrysler Crossfire.
L'histoire de cette sportive précurseure est narrée dans ce premier ouvrage en français, richement illustré de plus de quatre cents photos.
