The new roadster SLK 250 CDI not only continues the tradition of diesel Mercedes, but also shows that it can be the beginning of sports. A similar project was launched in the 70s on the prototype model C11. Installed on the car 2.1 liter engine with a turbo, which allows you to generate 150 kW of power – which is equivalent to 204 horse. This is sufficient to sports roadster to accelerate from 0 to 100 less than 6.7 seconds. Double SLK 250 CDI has an enormously low consumption of fuel per 100 kilometers. Thus, for mixed-mode manufacturer guarantees no more appetite 5L diesel per 100 kilometers. Buy a car with a diesel heart from the manufacturer Mercedes, it was possible as early as 1936. The first diesel engines have evolved rapidly, and since the 70s there were versions of their sports. The first potential was the name of the sports prototype C111-II D and C111-III. The engine was a prototype 3-liter capacity and only 80 horses, with turbo power increased by more than 2 times and amounted to 190 hp, it will not pay people to write essays.
Tests for speed, the company Mercedes, prefers to spend on the Italian track Nardo. The first record was set in 1976 and it was 253.8 km / h. In April 1978 the car was more streamlined body, resulting in reduced drag, in addition to the new engine with a capacity of 239 hp and a speed record of 320 km / h was considered a past stage. Moreover the minimum speed did not drop below 314 km / h, which showed the high reliability of the “heart”. To date, direct fuel injection, 7-speed shifting system – 7G-Tronic Plus make it possible to be the fastest diesel car in the world. In addition, a green mission and direction of the company, by next spring, will present “Eco” version.
Modern technology has allowed less than 100 years to reduce fuel consumption by more than 10 times – so for example earlier in the 1 kW of power the car had to spend 0.31 liters of fuel, but now the figure stands at around 0.03 liters. The company sees a big Mercedes, and a promising future for diesel engines, and so they invest heavily in the development and progression of engines running on diesel and bio-fuels. To a wider audience a car Car Market is not granted, but the mass production of cars and run to the general public has become available since March 2012.
