Spy shots: Next-gen Mercedes Benz SLK prototype gets stuck at the ‘Ring

The SLK roadster has served Mercedes Benz well over its life since introduction in 2004, and like all cars its once-cutting-edge design has become somewhat tired, despite a mid-cycle facelift. An all-new SLK is in the works, however, and it’s been spotted testing in the still-wintry German weather.

Aside from the car’s general proportions not much is clear thanks to generous slabs of camouflage cladding. Nevertheless, the car’s LED daytime running lights, common to all of Mercedes’ most recent models, are obvious.
