Powertrain Options and Availability
A supercharged, dual-overhead-cam 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine in the SLK230 developed 185 horsepower, driving a 5-speed automatic transmission. A 5-speed manual gearbox became standard in 1999, making the automatic an option. The SLK320 joined the lineup in 2001, with a 3.2-liter V6, and the SLK230 got standard 6-speed manual transmission and gained 5 horsepower.
