Fastest stored 0–60
These are the best 0–60 figures stored on a generation’s trim groups, not a ranking of every variant.
Economy
These are the highest official combined mpg ranges stored on each engine. The test cycle is recorded on the variant, so ranges from different cycles are not ranked as one list of winners.
| Engine | Generation | Combined mpg range | CO₂ range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.1 diesel 204PS | R172 | 70.6 mpg | 114 g/km |
| 2.1 diesel 207PS | R172 | 56.5 mpg | 132 g/km |
| 2.0 petrol 184PS | R172 | 43.5–47.9 mpg | 137–150 g/km |
| 1.8 petrol 187PS | R172 | 41.5–43.5 mpg | 151–158 g/km |
| 1.8 petrol 207PS | R172 | 42.8 mpg | 153 g/km |

Questions
How many Mercedes-Benz SLK cars are in the VehicleScore dataset?
5,058 cars in our dataset. That is the catalogue sample, not UK sales or production.
Which SLK generations are covered?
R170, SLK, R172
How these figures are produced
Specifications and counts come from the VehicleScore UK vehicle catalogue. A count of cars is the number of records in that dataset. It is not UK production, not sales, and not the number of cars currently on the road.
Power is shown in PS where the catalogue stores PS, and in bhp only where bhp is stored separately. Official fuel economy is labelled NEDC or WLTP when the test cycle is known. Figures from different cycles are not ranked together. Empty values are left blank.
The catalogue does not store a revision date, so these pages do not show a last-updated day.
