Next year's Mercedes-Benz SLK was revealed in all its glory, albeit by accident, when a video advertisement for the car was posted on You Tube recently. While the video was swiftly removed, screen grabs like the ones you see here had made their way onto the internet by then.
If you'll excuse the hazy screen shots then, the basic front and rear styling of the SLK is clearly visible, with the large-grille front end clearly inspired by the SLS and the tail something of an evolution of the current SLK.
Mercedes-Benz has already revealed that the next SLK will boast an innovative new 'Magic Sky Control' glass roof that can be made transparent or darkened at the touch of a button. This optional system aims to offer brighter winter days and greater sun protection in winter.
According to the German automaker, the system is based on the physics of a plate condenser: if the glass is subjected to an electrical voltage, particles position themselves so that light is able to pass through the glass.
If the voltage remains switched off, the particles position themselves randomly which blocks the light, and the glass remains dark.
Not much other official information has been made available at this stage, although it's almost certain that the new SLK will be slightly bigger and that the range will largely mirror that of the current car.
