The R172 is the third generation of the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class roadster, launched in Stuttgart in January 2011 and shown to the public at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show as the successor to the R171 of 2004. Its radiator air intake takes a cue from the 190 SL roadster of the 1950s, and its front end from the SLS AMG and the CLS. It has a two-piece metal folding Vario Roof, with options for a panoramic roof and a MAGIC SKY CONTROL glass roof that switches between transparent and tinted. Early cars were the SLK 200, 250 and 350 BlueEFFICIENCY, a diesel SLK 250 CDI followed from September 2011, and the SLK 55 AMG was powered by the M152 V8. Renamed SLC-Class at its mid-cycle facelift in 2016, it was discontinued after the 2020 model year.
