The Mercedes-Benz Studie SLK I was a concept car shown at the Turin motor show in spring 1994 that led to the production Mercedes-Benz R 170 SLK in 1996. It was presented as an open roadster in near-production styling but without a roof, with short overhangs, a pronounced wedge shape, compact dimensions and covered roll bars behind each seat that recalled the 300 SLR sports car. The interior showed a lot of bright metal, with a dashboard that seemed to float in space, made of very light carbon fibre material, and instruments and an ignition lock set in aluminium. It was powered by a four-cylinder four-stroke petrol engine driving the rear wheels through a five-speed gearbox.
