R171

The SLK R171 was a step up from the successful R170 with its newer and beefier power plants. Slightly longer and wider, it comes with an almost 50 percent increase in torsional rigidity with the roof down. Its interior is more up market and with the SLK55 AMG it offered the first V8 in its class. This 210-page book was last updated in March 2017 and gives you all the facts about the R171. It is one of over twenty-five books/e-books by the author about Mercedes cars.Special promo starting Nov. 22, 2019 for a limited time only: if you write a review, you can have not one, but two of Bernd S.

Enjoy!Why is this book not available as hard cover? Even today with modern digital printing services available, books with many color photos are expensive to produce. This book comes with around 170 high quality photos, most of them in color, and would cost retail as hardcover version over US$ 70 (or the corresponding amount in £ or €), which the author finds excessive. That is why the choice to offer the more reasonable to produce soft cover option. Thank you for your understanding.
