The SLK, a little compact coupe/cabriolet, helps buyers get a taste of the pleasures of sports cars at a less expensive price. Of course, the SLK comes in different versions: the basic version has a turbocharged 1.8L four-cylinder engine while the SLK 350 features a 302-hp 3.5L V6. If you’re into raw power, try on the SLK55 AMG and its supercharged 415-hp V8 for size.
