A convertible allows you to soak up sun, star-gaze at dusk or feel the wind in your hair. Mercedes-Benz has given new meaning to the convertible by tricking it out with the most sophisticated technology and sleekest exterior of any ride on the road today. With summer around the corner, now is your chance to put the top down and cruise your way to an extravagance that only Mercedes-Benz can offer.
The Mercedes SL 550 Roadster Convertible, which was originally developed as a racecar, provides nothing short of a mind-blowing ride. With 382-horsepower and a 32 valve V-8 engine it proves to be one of the best high-performance vehicles on the road. It also has a power retractable hardtop that retracts in a speedy 16 seconds, letting you enjoy the scenery in a jiffy.
If the sleek exterior of the SL 550 Roadster Convertible had you at hello, wait until you get a glimpse of the interior. Whether it’s GPS navigation, Ipod adaptor dock or the 6- disc CD/DVD changer, Mercedes-Benz has mastered the basics. There’s also the option of SIRIUS Satellite radio and a 4GB music register to upload your favorite tunes from the luxury of your leather-upholstered seat.
Let the road unfold in front of you with the SLK 300 Roadster and SLK350 Roadster. The SLK300 has 228-horsepower with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic transmission. Turn on a live concert in your car with 11-speaker Harman/Kardon LOGIC7 audio system generating 500 watts of Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.
Last but certainly not least, are the E class convertibles which aren’t your average convertibles. The E350 can go 0-60 mph in 6.4 sec and the E550 can do that in 5.1 seconds. With 268-horsepower in the E350 and 382-horsepower in the E550 you won’t feel the asphalt beneath you.
Mercedes-Benz climate control features can cool you instantly on a warm day while keeping you toasty on a wintery day. As if that wasn’t enough, the E-Class convertibles offer the ‘Airscarf,” wrapping your neck with the warmth a scarf would provide. Convertibles can often contribute to drafting; however, the E-Class Cabriolet has a wind deflector that rises from the top of the windshield and an automatic screen between the rear head restraints.
Safety can make or break a decision to buy a car but with a Mercedes-Benz E-Class expect nine standard airbags, pre-safe brakes which are sensors that could reduce the severity of an accident and strategically placed reinforcements within the body’s structure.
